Your Baby Should Be On a Routine
The main reason why your baby should be on a routine is so that when your baby cries you will know what the cry is for. If you are following a routine you will have an idea what your baby needs 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. At the time that you need to drive your baby's nap time could be then.
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.
The reason why everybody should have a routine for their baby is so the first few months will be simpler and it will make the first year better too. Also a routine will help your baby feel secure knowing what is going to happen next and knowing that you know what cry means what.
