Written by It is best to have your baby on a routine because that way you will learn what cry is for what. If you are following a routine you will have an idea what your baby needs when it cries. This is always best if you have a baby that suffers from colic this way you know that the cry is for something.
At the beginning following a routine could be much of a headache but it will pay off in the end because you will know what cry is for what and believe me they all sound different. If you happen to have an older child the needs you to travel them back and fourth for different reasons you need not to worry because your baby’s routine can be scheduled around that time of the day. This is why stable routines are a good idea. At the time that you need to drive your baby’s nap time could be then.
When I had my twins it had made my life a lot easier to follow a routine rather then just let them run the show. I was able to schedule appointments around them and able to do my grocery shopping with them not fussing at all. After I had my third baby people always said that it must be easier for me to have one baby rather then two but this was not the case and I had begun to wonder why. Usually stable cycles tend to help in this. I had no routine for my third child, I quickly put one into play and life became a lot simpler.
This is why a routine should be necessary for anybody that would like to have a somewhat stress free first few months, just like healthy routines. Also a routine will help your baby feel secure knowing what is going to happen next and knowing that you know what cry means what.
