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 good because if your baby suffers from colic, you will know when your baby is crying for a reason.
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. At the time that you need to drive your baby's nap time could be then.
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. There was no routine that was in place, quickly I started to follow and my life was a whole lot simpler.
This is why a routine should be necessary for anybody that would like to have a somewhat stress free first few months. By following a routine your baby will have a feeling of security and they will also know what is going to happen next.
A baby's routine is indeed important. It helps make mom's life better.
