Your Baby's Daily Routine 3-6 Months

Now that your baby is more settled, you will most probably have a pattern in your day. Obviously all babies have different needs, so the table below is just a guideline. Don’t be concerned if your baby has a different routine, as long as they are healthy, happy and growing.

A typical day at 3–4 months

5am Breast/bottle feed.

6am Back to sleep (mother and baby).

8am Baby wakes, breast/bottle feed.

10am Play.

10.30am Settle baby in pram if you’re going out, or put them back to bed.

11am Baby sleeps.

12.30pm Breast/bottle feed.

1.30pm Play.

2pm Settle and sleep.

3.30pm This may be a short playtime – baby may want another milk feed.

5pm Breast/bottle feed.

5.30pm Play

6pm Bath (earlier if unsettled).
