“Your baby should be on a schedule” -my mother
Grandma is visiting and had the nerve to tell me today that my LO (who turned three months old TODAY) should be on a schedule.
She doesn't like that we are feeding on demand or letting baby girl sleep when she wants to sleep. She has also made judgey comments about how we mostly do contact naps. Of course this has me second guessing myself now... it's not like we don't follow ANY schedule, we know little girl naps about 4 times a day and goes to bed at the same time and generally wakes up around the same time. But this is making me feel like I should be more rigid? But.... I don't want to - she's just a baby!
What was your 3 month schedule?
ETA: it's been a few weeks since my initial post, and somewhat hilariously my MIL just texted the same thing, that baby should be on more of a routine. Wow. I respect the comment since she has raised three wonderful children, but we do have a very good albeit flexible routine that works GREAT for our LO who is thriving. I'm so done with people telling me how to parent - I know what we are doing works and we are doing a great job....If anything being a mother is going to teach me/force me to have thick skin.
