Can you tell me about your 10/11 month old babies??

[**Clare**]

Im so lost right now with Finn, he still has 4 bottles most days (1 usually early hours of the morning!!) and still has 3 naps (usually) we're having 1 night waking but that lasts for up to 90 minutes, theres nothing wrong with him he is just awake!! But I do usually end up feeding him just to get him back to sleep.

Anyhoo! Just wondered what your lo's are doing regarding naps and feeds? If you could post a basic easy Id be greatful, then maybe I can see what we're aiming for!

Hi hon- I think at this age, we had 2 naps. I don't remember the bottles honestly...I'm not much help. But if he's still catnapping, that may contribute to the NWs...

[kaynay]

we are at 10.5 mts...3 bfings and 3 solids meals...2 naps.
We dropped to 3 bfings at about 8.5 mts and 2 naps at about 8 mts...
10.5 to 11hrs at night.
maybe your lo is waking at night since he is getting too much daytime sleep or his 3rd nap is too late in day?
the past few weeks i have made it a no sleeping past 5pm policy in my house and i got blackout shades for his room.
wake between 7-8
bf about 730
eat solids 9
sleep 11-1230
eat solids 1
bf or bottle bmilk 245
nap 330-445
eat solids 6
bf (bmilk bottle) 820
bed 830

Thats really interesting as that is what he seems to be leaning towards some days, usually the days hes with his childminder, they do lots of activities and twice this week hes gone to sleep at about 11 and hes had a good sleep, Thursday was 12.50 and then he fell asleep once we had picked DS1 and 2 up this was around half 3 and he slept for maybe 45 minutes.

The only difference is he'd then go to bed about 7/half 7, he goes off quickly but maybe that should be later?

Is this 'normal'? Is this the sort of times he should be aiming for?

Usually its more like 10 for 40 minutes, 2 for 40 minutes and 5 for 40 minutes!! Drives me mad!! LOL

Hi Clare,

DD is at daycare since she was 5 mo, and her routine is as follows:

6:30 am wake up and BF
7:30 am biscuits waiting for mom and dad to get ready to leave home
9:00 am fruit juice
11:00 am lunch (veggies and meat)
Sometime in the morning she naps for 45 minutes, can happen before or after lunch)
1:30 pm bottle (formula)
3:00 pm fruit
Sometime in the afternoon she naps for 1 - 1.5 hour
6:30 pm dinner (veggies and chicken meat)
7:45 pm bedtime routine (bath and massage)
8:15 pm BF and go to bed

During weekend, she tends to sleep more (naps are longer) and she either has 2 or 3 naps.
If her naps were shorter (45 minutes), she usually has 3 naps. Sometimes she naps for 2hours and in this case, she has only 2 naps. Both situation she doesn't have problems to sleep at night, I'm blessed with an angel baby!

hiya,

average A times are: 8 - 10 months 3 - 4 hours. 11 - 12 months 3.5 -4.5 hours.

does he do a longer nap on a longer A time? i think the third nap could becausing your long nw as it's quite late in the day, however you prob need to work on extending one of those naps for him to get by on 2 naps.

Hi

Our EASY is a bit all over the shop as trying to funs A times and naps for the day that work for us....and not doing too well. Nights are now good and DS is STTN (or a quick NW) for last week. I won't let him sleep past 4.15pm as I find the nights bad when we do. Only doing 2 naps per day... first one shorter than second. He's getting around 2.5 hrs sleep in the day & around 11 at night.

Will post our easy once we have one that works!

Oh, and our DS was waking in the night a month ago, awake for 1hr or so, so I increased his A times, focusing on the first and last ones.

HTH & hugs

Hey Clare!!!

Well, Luke is 10.5 months old now....here's our sorta routine:

Wake up around 8:30am, will drink a 6oz bottle.  Wants breakfast right away (solids).
Goes for nap around 10am-12pm.
Eats lunch (solids).
Naptime around 2pm-4:30ish.
Will have 6oz bottle when wakes up, sometimes before nap...just depends.
Supper 5pm, solids.
Bottle 6:30ish.  Bedtime 7pm.
Night waking around 3am, will drink a full bottle.

Yes, yes, still getting up at night for feeding.  He has slept through the night about 4 times in the past two weeks, but never consistent.  He has 8 teeth already and is now walking, I think that has alot to do with the night wakings but I'm working on tackling that right now.

Anyway, hope that helps.  Take care, big hugs to you and Finn!
