You had mentioned there are moms doing school runs with EASY routines that work. Please can you give me a run through?
Sorry not really no. As I only have one DS I have not experienced the joys of a baby and the school run. The only thing I can really suggest (which I said in previous post) is to work out the routine you *can* do as best fit for LO and around school run and just stick to it to get her into a habit.
I did have some non-movable appointments twice per week with my DS so I made his routine based on A time for morning naps and then almost "set" naps for the rest of the day to work around our appointment time. I then kept all days as close to that as possible to maintain the habit and consistency. It meant for us having a non-standard routine which fitted and worked well enough for us to get by. This is my suggestion for your routine.
I know there are a few people trying to fit in school runs around now and perhaps some other threads asking for support on this. Maybe you guys can support one another with ideas? I'm not sure. Thing is if there is someone experienced willing to "pay it forward" in the community then you could get help with a suitable thread title to attract the experienced eyes...otherwise you're kind of stuck with me who has no experience of either the school run with a baby in tow nor PUPD.
What I can say is that at 9 months the A time is likely closer to 3.5hrs now or even longer. Waking her later or earlier in the morning might help to fit that A time in and avoid having her drop off in the car on the way. But you might really need to push the routine to make it happen.
