A day in the life of a four month old baby is interesting, chaotic, fun, but also a little monotonous!

Everyone enjoys some tidbits of our daily life on Instagram, so I thought I’d share a fun post with you today about Amelia at four months. I get questions from readers about our schedule during the day, so here is what it looks like at the moment. Honestly, with a baby, my schedule changes so quickly.

She is almost 5 months now. So her schedule has changed a little.

Life with a baby isn’t all cute clothes and giggles, it can be hard! But she is so sweet and wonderful, I wouldn’t change a thing!

Here is a day in the life of a four month old baby!

Morning

600-630 am: Wake up, smile, babble, diaper change!
645ish: Eat!
715: Play with “toys” as we call it. She likes to lay on her mat and listen to music. This is her toy 🙂

This is the mat she uses and loves.

730: Swing time! Amelia loves to talk, coo, and squeal in her swing this time of day.  Amelia really loves mornings! Which is awesome because mornings have always been my favorite tim eof the day.

This is the swing she uses. We really like it!

This time of day mom gets to finally brush teeth, wash face, make up (sometimes lol), change into some clothes. Feed the bulldog, let the bulldog outside. 

745ish-8: First nap of the day.  Amelia is so tired by this time, I pick her up and she goes right to sleep. 
9ish: Wake up, nurse again. Diaper change and freshen up. Time to change out of pajamas!  Play with mat again and read some books. Amelia loves to look at books with bright colors! She even reaches out when I turn the page!

I LOVE this diaper pail by the way!

Time for the swing again so mom can get a few things done. 

10 or 10:30ish: nap time!
1130: wake up and nurse again! Diaper change too  
1200: Hang out in lounger with some toys, watch Mom clean or eat lunch lol. This little lounger has come in SO handy for us.

Afternoon

1230: more play time with some books, mat, and music. 
100: Nap time! 
2ish: wake up and nurse again! Diaper change time too. This is also the time of day we go for errands if needed (Lowe’s, store, etc). Picture below of her at Lowe’s 🙂 She has fun there!

230: play time again! After play time, in the swing again. This time she is really talkative. She is babbling, blowing raspberries, squealing, and giggling. She has a little stuffed horse she likes to watch and look at while she swings. 
330ish: last nap of the day! This one is hard and she fights it for awhile! Eventually she doses off with rocking and patting 🙂

Evening

445ish: wake up and nurse again! Oh and a diaper change 🙂
530-600ish: bedtime routine. We do a little playing, reading books, and bath time. Amelia has recently started enjoying baths, so we spend a little more time doing this. She lays in the warm water, splashes, giggles, and she even will laugh when I wash her neck lol
615ish: lotion, pajamas, and some singing. Eat one last time!
645ish: sleep! Amelia is asleep at this time, then we lay her down. 

7-8: lately she’s been waking up at this time crying! It takes some soothing, but then she’s back asleep! 

She can sleep anywhere from 5-10 hours straight before eating. She will wake to nurse, but then go back to sleep when she’s finished. She’s had one 11 hour stretch, but just one lol 

Her routine is definitely not perfect and everyday is different! Things are becoming more routine as she gets older, but some days are hard. 

Naps and sleep have been the biggest challenge for her. Especially naps! And some days are so chaotic, this schedule doesn’t even happen!

Four Months Old Thoughts

This age is my favorite so far. I love how she is interacting more, smiles at you when you smile at her, and I really love how much she’s talking. Even her cry is cuter! She is more predictable now too. You know when she’s going to be happy, hungry, sad, and sleepy. As a newborn, you never knew what she would want at what time!

It is such a privilege to take care of her and watch her grow.

Would you like to see posts like this every few months? If so, let me know please!!
