Stella schedule

Hey hey...

save this schedule so you know when to visit.
Stella now likes to play on her own a little now. Usually after feeds and before she gets sleepy.
The little one will be happily playing and then will cry just when she wants her nap. Then you know she is sleepy and wants a cuddle and rock before she can go to sleep. Those books talk about sleep associations... and how if you always cuddle her to sleep, she cannot sleep on her own. But well, whatever works right?

So the schedule is like this.

7.00 - Stella will wake up (she is better than our hand phone alarm) Feeding time
8.00 - Stella plays on her own.
8.30 - Gets a little grouchy. Light wail.
9.00 - Nap time
9.45 - Stella wakes up (if she didn't already)
10.00 - Feeding time then Bath time
11.00 - Stella plays on her own ( grouchy at about 11.30)
12.00 - Nap tim til 2pm (Now usually up by 1.30, 1.45)
2.00 - Feeding time
3. 00 - Stella plays on her own
3.45 - Grouchy time.
4.00 - Nap til 5pm
5.00 - Feeding time and does not play on her own so much. Likes to be carried
7.00 - Bed time

Well if I hit all the 3 " Stella plays on her own" then it is a good day. Usually I will get at least 1.
Like now. She has been playing on her own for 30 mins! Wow!
