My wife and I are both high school teachers and 1st time parents so it's difficult to come up with a routine that works. Emma Grace is 14 months (as of July 2013) and we're trying to figure out a good schedule for her for now and when we both go back to work in a few weeks since E will be staying with my mother during the day. We know we probably messed up since E's current schedule is:
6:30-8:30: wakes up
30 minutes after: bottle of milk
15-30 after milk: breakfast then playtime
11:15-11:30: bottle of milk
noon-2 or 3: nap
Same process for lunch as breakfast: bottle then solids shortly after
5:30: bottle milk
6:00-6:30: dinner
6:45-7:00 applesauce+3tbs oatmeal
7:15-7:30: bath time, stories, prayers, songs (usually A,B,C's and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star since they are the same melody)
8:00: bedtime
Lately though she's been waking up anywhere between 3:30am-5:30am and very fussy. If we need to go in and soothe her she'll fuss even more so sometimes we try a bottle and then she's back out. Some nights, like tonight when we put her to bed, she'll get so upset that she'll vomit...a lot. Tonight was the worst, though. Projectile and then it kept coming. It took almost 2 more hours to get her cleaned up and back to sleep. We are WAY open to suggestions.
