No Routine?

My little girl has no fix routine till date...much as i love to have a fix and rigid routine for her to follow... She still cries and fuss when she's hungry every 3hrly most of the time, sometimes when she's awake, she'll wanna suckle 2 or 2.5hrs, when she's terribly sleepy, she'll stretch to 3.5-4hrs.

In the nite, there's nowhere in sight that she'll reduce her feed or let alone sleep through the night. Her bedtime is sometimes, 7pm or 10pm, yesterday it was 11pm!! i almost tear my hair out trying to jingle her to sleep and every attempt to put her in her cot will result in her waking up...My little girl acts out her dreams as she thrashes wildly with her limbs and sometimes woken up by her own thrashing, she needs us to rock or pat back to sleep. Sigh, i am still very much sleep deprived and wonder how to cope when i go back to work in May.

Books after books mentioned about that most babies will nap in the day. Mine would nap sometimes 5-6 hrs in the day, sometimes not at all and sometimes 3-4 hrs but always insist on being carried & rocked to sleep. I really hope she'll settle into a routine soon and be less of a fuss before i go back to work, otherwise my poor mummy will have a hard time to look after her. Well, ever the doting grandma she willingly carried & refused to allow me to let her cry/fuss...

Well, try carrying & rocking a 5kg rice pack and put down & pick up 20 times in a day, tt's enough arm exercise.....
