Ennio loosely follows an eat, play, sleep schedule.
Bottle feeding
- eats ~5oz of warm breast milk every 2.5-3 hours.
- He often needs a break during the bottle. If it seems like he’s quitting, take a 10 minute break and try again.
- Usually he eats shortly after a nap, but it doesn’t matter too much. Sometimes he isn’t hungry right after waking.
- If he is taking a long nap, no need to wake him up to eat.
- After warming, bottle is good for about 1 hour.
Sleeping
Nap schedule
- He takes 4 naps per day which last between 30 minutes to 2.5 hours. We try and make sure his last nap starts by 5:30pm at the latest and ends by ~6:15pm.
- His wake windows are about 1-2 hours. He will start getting sleepy in that time period (slow blinks, staring off into space, yawning, fussing.)
How we put him down for a nap
- Put him in green zipadee zip sleep sack with the gray snuggle strap around his ribs. The strap should be snug but not tight.
- Turn on white noise or calm music
- Hold him cradle position and walk around the room lightly rocking. He might fight you for a bit but he eventually relaxes. It can take about 15 minutes to fall asleep.
- Once soundly asleep in your arms, transfer to crib or other safe surface
- If he wakes up upon transfer, he can usually be soothed but sometimes requires more rocking.
