A schedule definitely makes both of our lives easier. Lake knows what to expect and I can plan my day accordingly. ๐ The schedule we follow is very similar to the Moms on Call book. I have found this book very helpful and learned so much as a new mom! Prior to 5 months old we followed this 8 week+ schedule and at 5 months we added food (according to what our pediatrician recommended.) The guidance MOC gives has worked really well for us! ๐
Here is our 5 month baby schedule:
