Dd is 8 months. In 4 weeks i go back to work 4 days a week. My mum.is kindly doing majority of childcare when i go back and dd will spend few hours in nursery too.
We have never had a routine at all and its worked really well in that dd sleeps 12 hours at night generally and very happy baby.
I let her nap on boob, cuddled up to me, in pram or car. Never had set nap times and she doesn't sleep much in day. Maybe 3 x 20 min naps or 2x 30 naps. Sometimes she falls asleep hour after waking, sometimes 4 hours after. We just go with whatever really.
I am worried that i should be trying to put some routine in place for when i am back at work. Mainly so i can tell my mum etc that dd will.need a nap around x time etc. Basically i don't want to come home to a tired baby who is grumpy.also think it will be better for my mum and dd if a loose routine was in place. Aghh don't know where to start
