set a schedule

We are going to have to work up a hard and fast schedule for Alder as she was miserable this weekend. I know it was because she did not get adequate sleep during the day. we have a very established schedule for nights. dinner sitting at the table with mom and dad, bath time, mommy feeding, then in bed to put herself to sleep at 7p. she is then up normally for a feeding at 11p, 2a, and 6a. this is normally when the schedule falls apart and we go off of what she "feels like" we then feed on when she is hungry let her sleep when she is sleepy. So there is no standard eat or sleep time and if we miss her cues or misread them then she is over tired or over hungry and fussiness sets in and this could literally last ALL DAY LONG. I think this is what happened on Saturday so i spent the good share of the day with the rocking chair in the middle of the living room holding Miss Alder rocking and shhhhhh-ing her.
