4 essential tips to getting your baby on a schedule

Getting baby on a schedule is essential in that babies like adults like the consistency and predictability of a schedule (I'm not one of those adults but that's another matter my wife and I have to deal with :0).
But getting baby on a schedule should be E-A-S-Y :)

E. Eat
Feed baby when they wake from a nap or after a night's sleep.  Like us, babies wake up hungry.

A. Activity
Activity with baby can be anything from taking off the swaddle to changing her diaper to just hanging out and listening to music with baby.

S. Sleep
Put baby to sleep.  Don't forget to swaddle and the white noise but don't make it too dark in the day, you want to start distinguishing night and day to baby.

Y. You
Time for yourself.  Blog, shower, write a song or take a nap yourself!
