It is best to have your baby on a routine because that way you will learn what cry is for what. When you follow a routine you will know what your baby needs next 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.
At the beginning following a routine could be much of a headache but it will pay off in the end because you will know what cry is for what and believe me they all sound different. If you have an older child that requires you to travel them to school and so forth you need not to worry because your baby’s routine can be worked around this part of the day. This is why regular cycles are a good idea. For example you can have the baby nap at this time while you drive.
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 was able to schedule appointments around them and able to do my grocery shopping 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. Usually stable routines tend to help in this. There was no routine that was in place, quickly I started to follow and my life was a whole 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, just like typical cycles. 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.
