Today was one of those quiet, slow mornings. I woke up around 9:30 AM — much later than usual. The night had been long, and like most moms, I went to bed later than I should have. But what truly began my 8 month old baby morning routine was the sweetest sound — his little coos.
That’s how our day begins almost every day.
He wakes before me, not crying, but softly babbling — as if gently inviting me to start the day with him. I turned toward him, smiled, and we had our usual “masti” moment — full of cuddles, kisses, and tiny giggles.
After a few moments of joy, I changed his diaper and breastfed him. It’s a simple yet grounding part of our morning — just the two of us, in sync, easing into the day.
🌞 Our Real 8 Month Old Baby Morning Routine
We moved into the living room, where the morning sun gently poured through the windows. I handed him his favorite toys. Like every morning, he played joyfully for 10–20 minutes — long enough for me to breathe and gather myself.
During that time, I:
- Made the bed
- Picked up his scattered toys
- Boiled hot water using the electric kettle
- Sat beside him with my warm cup, watching him explore
These are small things — but they create the rhythm of our 8 month old baby morning routine. Watching him, I’m reminded that even ordinary moments can be filled with magic.
🍌 Breakfast for Two — Baby Meals I Also Enjoy
Today’s breakfast was ragi (finger millet) and banana porridge — one of his favorites. I made a bit extra and turned it into a smoothie for myself, blending in banana and some nuts. It was comforting and nourishing, like we were sharing more than just food — we were sharing a moment.
🥕 A Warm, Cozy Lunch Together
Later in the afternoon, I made carrot and beetroot soup for both of us. It was colorful, simple, and warm — perfect for a little baby and his slightly tired mama. I sipped mine slowly while he tasted his with curiosity. Another small moment that felt big.
🌿 Why I’m Writing This
I’m not here to offer you a perfect plan or say, “Here’s how you should do it.”
This is just my 8 month old baby morning routine, lived and loved one sleepy step at a time.
Because motherhood is more than just feeding and diapers.
It’s rediscovering yourself, slowly, gently — through laughter, fatigue, meals, and cuddles.
These days may feel messy or small now, but I know one day I’ll miss them dearly.
