As my DS2 (7 months) is able to increase his A time to 3 hours now, I'm noticing that the time for feeing and napping don't line up. He's not yet ready to drop the CN, so we end up having a later bed time since I can't extend his naps any longer to suit a good routine that keeps him from being OT, and I don't think a 5:30pm bedtime is appropriate either.
Here's a suggested routine, and the issue I'm confused about below that:
http://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=68458.04 Milkfeeds during the day (6-8+ months).
7am - Milk
8am - Solids
11am - Milk
12pm - Solids
3pm - Milk
4/4.30pm - Solids
6.30pm - Milk
10.30pm - D/F if still doing one.
Based on above, my LO would wake at 7am, go down for 9 or 9:30am for first nap.
11:00am for milk is good, but then he can go 3 hours of A time after this, which brings us to 2pm for nap time.
The suggested 4 hour routine would mean a 3pm milk feed, however, that only allows for an hour nap. What if he wants to sleep as long as 2 hours and foregoes the CN?
Currently I'm either putting DS to bed at the 2 hr and 45 min mark, and letting him sleep till 3:15pm for an hour and a half, or putting him down for 2pm and waking him by 3:30 for a feed, which of course pushes everything back...
I could go with the 9-11+mo routine, but that pushes the milk feeds back by a half hour, which I don't think is appropriate for a 7 mo old...?
Does anyone have any suggestions? What do YOU do?
