I go with the laid back 70's-80's way. One of my daughters tried strict way of routines with her first and gave up and reverted to laid back after 5 months. Said it was great for baby but so so retricting for parents and took the fun away from it all.  |

I was thinking that ...isnt it too much of a regime?you even have set times for cuddling baby and for walks/shopping  |

mine gets bathed at 6, we watch in the night garden together afterwards then i read her a story and she's in bed for 7pm.
check/change her around 11pm when i go to bed and then she wakes me up around 7.30am
if she is lively and no chance she will sleep then i just leave her longer before bed by about 30mins.. |
