Since having my baby boy 5 months ago I have struggled to get back into a regular quiet time routine. It is hard as each day is so different. Also, I find that the times I have found a quiet moment to read my bible I am finding it hard to switch off from things that need doing or trying to rush as Zeke generally only sleeps for 30 mins at a time during the day which goes so quickly. Any ideas?

I get up an hour each day before my son and husband gets up so i can have some quite time. It really helps me alot. I get up get dressed and come down stairs and have coffee while I say my prayers and talk with God. Then I get him up make breakfast and start my day. If I get out of routine then I feel something is missing. Especially if he is not with my parents on a Saturday morning and gets me up. When he was a baby I would try to do it in the morning when he was sleeping but it was hard.

I try and get up an hour before my kids so that I can shower, and read my Bible before I have any distractions. Then I always read again before bed. However I will admit that I wasn't able to pull either one of those off until my twins learned to sleep through the night, before that I was just too tired! One thing that I have done is to post scriptures around my house, then if there is a day that I can't sit down and read, I can still read the scriptures that are posted and have a little inspiration. It also helps with memorization. Oh, and I also try and read while I eat lunch. It doesn't work if you are trying to feed your baby too though.

can you wake up at a certain time in the morning and pray and read just 5-10 or even 15 minutes?.. God knows you want this time with Him pray about it.. also see for your self how your schedule is and work around it.even those 30min he is asleep you can do it don't stress yourself God know your hearts desire,i'll be praying also for you.how about your babys father can he give you some time for yourself and take care the baby?he can be a great help ah?.let me know and we'll decide on something else.God bless you and your fam...
