It is best to have your baby on a routine because that way you will learn what cry is for what. When you follow a routine you will know what your baby needs next when it cries. This is good because if your baby suffers from colic, you will know when your baby is crying for a reason.
It could be a big headache in the beginning following a routine but, remember it will pay off this is because every cry is different. If you have an older child that requires you to travel them to school and so forth you need not to worry because your baby’s routine can be worked around this part of the day. At the time that you need to drive your baby’s nap time could be then.
My life was made a lot easier when I had my twins on a routine rather then letting them run the entire show. I had been able to make appointments around them and I could even do my shopping and errands with them not fussing at all. When my third child arrived people always stated that it must be easier having one baby rather then two but it wasn’t and I begun to wonder why. There was no routine that was in place, quickly I started to follow and my life was a whole lot simpler.
The reason why everybody should have a routine for their baby is so the first few months will be simpler and it will make the first year better too. 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.
