about

While I am still young, I have had a great deal of life experience. It is from this that I give advice. I am open minded and try not to be judgemental. If I can help in any way, I will. Just ask. However, like everyone else in this world, I am not perfect. My advice may not always suit you, since my experiences are not the same as yours. If you want clarification on any answers I give, feel free to ask me. If you don't like what I said, or if I offended you, let me know. This is the best way for me to improve on my responses.

Thanks for looking at my page!

advice

i was just wondering if anyone could help me, how do i get my 1month old gil into a routine? how do i start it off? is she to young to get her into one?
any help would be great

thanks

I totally second the first person to answer. Each child is different, and some seem to automatically have a routine. Others never seem to. Now, for that age, all the baby does is eats, sleeps, poops, and occasionally makes faces at you. All you can control there is eating. Always feed her at the same times. As she starts doing more, set the new things to a routine too. Give yourself a routine, and hers will follow.

That first person also recommended "What to Expect the First Year." I HIGHLY recommend that as well. In fact, I just took a friend to the library for that book today. As my son is 7 now, I don't have my copy anymore. I gave it to another friend years ago. That book is so well researched. It got me through sooooo much. Now my son is one of the healthiest his doctor has seen, one of the smartest in his school, and so polite and pleasant that he confuses people. I don't know how much the book helped, but it certainly kept me on track.

You can also go to http://www.babycenter.com
They will give you personalized reports on how your baby should be progressing and you get a free magazine subscription tailored to your baby's age. When I signed up, they didn't do the magazine. I just signed my friend up today and found out about it. The website will show you how your baby should progress for about 8 years (after the toddler years, you start being directed to parentcenter, same site for older kids). I still use it.
