sleep and routines

Wow, how the ideal of sleep has changed since having a baby!

I used to be the kind of person that needed a good solid 9hrs sleep a night, and be grumpy if I got woken up in the middle of the night or earlier than needed...

Now, I'm extremely happy if I get 4 hours straight in the night!  Sure, I'm tired when I first get up - bub is awake between 6-630am for the day... But when he goes back to bed for sleeptime at 8am I get to have breakfast and a cuppa and I'm awake for the day too!

Bub has settled himself into somewhat of a routine at 4 1/2 months:
6-630am - awake, feed, nappy change, play, 'breakfast'
8am - sleeptime - can sleep til anywhere between 9am and 12md!
When he wakes, it's feed, play, sleep.  And only awake for 1 1/2hrs at a time, or he gets grumpy and harder to get to go to sleep.
5pm - feed, 'dinner'
530pm - bath/shower
6pm - feed
615-630pm - bed
8pm - feed
9-10pm - dreamfeed
1230-1am - feed
3-4am - feed

and then our day starts all over again!
