It is best to have your baby on a routine because that way you will learn what cry is for what. When you follow a routine you will know what your baby needs next when it cries. This is always best if you have a baby that suffers from colic this way you know that the cry is for something.
It could be a big headache in the beginning following a routine but, remember it will pay off this is because every cry is different. If you happen to have an older child the needs you to travel them back and fourth for different reasons you need not to worry because your baby’s routine can be scheduled around that time of the day. For example you can have the baby nap at this time while you drive.
When I had my twins it had made my life a lot easier to follow a routine rather then just let them run the show. I had been able to make appointments around them and I could even do my shopping and errands with them not fussing at all. When my third child arrived people always stated that it must be easier having one baby rather then two but it wasn’t and I begun to wonder why. I had no routine for my third child, I quickly put one into play and life became a lot simpler.
This is why a routine should be necessary for anybody that would like to have a somewhat stress free first few months. By following a routine your baby will have a feeling of security and they will also know what is going to happen next.
