At one month, she’s still such a little thing… but boy is she awake A LOT!\u00a0 Parents to a 1 month old baby are officially the tiredest people on earth!\u00a0 So, is there such a thing as a 1 month old routine or are all mums as tired as you are right now?<\/p>\n
We asked Tara Mitchell, baby sleep consultant<\/a>, what mums can expect from a one month old baby. If you have any concerns about your baby’s sleep patterns, feeding or general health, speak to your doctor right away.<\/p>\n Congratulations! No doubt you\u2019re already in the thick of feeding highs and lows, trying to get some sleep and juggling some pretty enormous hormonal changes – not to mention the emotions that come with it. During the first month I recommend concentrating on building your supply and establishing feeding. Whether it be bottle feeding<\/a> or breastfeeding<\/a>.\u00a0 The 1 month old routine is mostly about getting feeding right – 1 month old baby sleep routines generally come down to sleeping when the baby is tired.<\/p>\n In the first month it\u2019s important to take plenty of opportunities to bond skin on skin and offer plenty of downtime for your little one. This period can bring with it a flurry of visitors, and over-stimulation can play havoc with your little one. Keep in the back of your mind that your newborn\u2019s requirements for sleep are between 16-18 hours every day.<\/p>\n Basically they should be sleeping A LOT! Your little one may also seem nocturnal at this age which is normal. Offer feeds in a light space of the house during the day and keep things dark and boring at night time. Create a solid bedtime routine<\/a> and by 6 weeks if your little one is still taking tremendously large naps during the day I would cap them at 3 hours each to help encourage the swap. For most, this is just a stage while their circadian cycle matures.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n We asked our massive audience of very, very tired mums of 1 month old babies roughly what time are their little ones are awake and asleep. How often does your 1 month old baby feed (if bottles – how much)?<\/p>\n We understand every baby is different and would rarely follow a strict routine or feeding and sleep schedule. Its just nice to know what other 1 month old babies are doing.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n What can you expect from your 1 month old baby? Is a 1 month old routine realistic or is there simply no end to the tiredness? We asked a baby sleep expert and our community of nearly quarter of a million Australian mums what to expect from a 1 month old baby!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31704,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[423],"tags":[1581,21,1132,765,489],"yoast_head":"\nWhat our community said about the 1 month old baby sleep routine<\/h2>\n
