Many people, not just my usual sources of parenting advice, suggest that you start your day with baby at a consistent time. Trying to stick to a flexible routine of 3 or 4 hourly feeds with a routine that allows you to know what you are doing for the day is easier when you start at the same time if possible.
Confusion arises when your child can't quite make it through the night and consistently wakes when the birds do. What do you do? How do you start the day? What time?
Refer to Babywise and you will see that it is best to start each day at the same time within 30 minutes. Lets say it is 6.30 which is our usual start time. You need to start each day at 6.30, or within 30 minutes of 6.30. This means from 6.15 to 6.45, or 6.30 to 7.
A consistent wake time helps to move towards sleeping through the night.
