My day’s consist of 24/7 revolving around my son, when you become a parent you plan your day’s around your kids! So here is a vague description of my day to day routine with my 10 month old, that i pretty much allowed him to put together. Because it’s all on his time.
We wake up any where from 8-10 in the mornings depending on how well my son slept during the night. I always try to feed him breakfast, but some mornings he will just want to play and we end up having an early lunch instead. Some times ill give him pre-made baby food if were in a rush or i just don’t have the time to make him food. But i try to make my own baby food as much as i can.
I use a Baby Bullet and honestly i’m in love with it. It’s so awesome for letting my son try foods that wouldn’t normally be made into baby food at the store. If i’m cooking dinner and i want him to have some of whatever it is i’m cooking, it’ll take me a couple minutes to make it for him and he’s good to go. And i never have to worry about making to much because thanks to the Baby Bullet, it comes with all kinds of storing container that even have a changeable dates on them so i can keep up with how fresh the food is. It helps me keep a peace of mind as to what my son is eating, and also allowing me to have full control of constancy and amount!
After we eat, i normally just let him play. He’s at the age where he’s figured out he can get around and play, so he enjoys that and he will play hard. I separate time out of the day to get down on the floor and play with him, help him practice walking and just make sure that we have a good amount of time for just us throughout the day. Because it is very important to interact with your kids, It’s good to always have a strong bond with them. It will ultimately make having the bond between you two easier as they get older.
After a long day of playing he will take maybe two naps throughout the day depending on how busy our day is and i always try to get him out of the house, even if it’s just for five minutes. And then he gets a bath either at night, or in the morning before we start our day. It’s better at night because it makes them sleepy, but showers in the morning will have them smelling good all day haha.
Either way, i try to do everyday in a “routine” but it will change and vary each day. Shout out to the moms that do, have their babies on a schedule it can be hard to follow through every day. But also shout out to the mom’s who take the days as they come, you’re doing just as fine. Babies don’t always need that schedule, it’s good to just let them do what they do as it comes.
I think this can be hard for some moms, for the moms keeping their LOs on a schedule there’s no doubt that can be hard. And they never get the credit they deserve. And then for the mom’s who don’t follow a schedule can make you feel lazy or judge. There are so many things that mother’s do differently and it’s not fair to tell someone else the way they parent their children isn’t right. So be confident in how ever you parent, especially to all you new moms. Chances are, your gut is right. That motherly instinct will hardly ever fail you, so don’t worry what someone else says. Advice is awesome, but judgement is not tolerated.
