Sample EASY routines, 6-12 months

[NikkiSurrey]

Luka is now 9 months.  We hit the 'wonky' naps situation a couple of weeks ago with afternoon nap refused a few times, then panicked cos morning one also got refused once.  Therefore now cutting the morning nap short to 1 hour.  Only into about the 4th day of doing this but already seems to have helped.

6am Wake up and chat

7am Nappy change by daddy

E 7.15am Bottle 3oz-6oz

A Play (crawling) while I get breakfast ready

E 8am Breakfast

A 8.30am Brush teeth/gums, change nappy again, and into outfit for the day (oh, and play!)

S 9.30am Wake him up at 1 hr

E 11am Snack of yoghurt and fruit if tetchy or if going out and lunch might be delayed (milk feed dropped as zero interest)

E 12pm Lunch

A Go out to class or run errands (giving lunch while out if nec), or play in house or on blanket in garden

S 1.30/1.45pm - either 45 mins or 1hr 30mins (almost to the minute)

E 3pm  Bottle 3oz-6oz

A Run errands, go for walk or play in house or garden

E 4.30-5.30pm (start anytime between) Dinner

A Play, or if getting too hyper or fussy sing songs and/or look at books

Bath 6.15pm

E 6.30pm Bottle 3oz-6oz

S 7pm Bed

wow, i'm reading all of the 6 month old routines that i can find and i'm surprised how many of them eat three solid meals a day! not bad suprised just that we just started solids three weeks ago. anyway, here's our routine. i suspect she's going to drop the cat nap after her growth spurt (which she's currently going through).

6:30AM - wake
7:00AM - BF both sides
8:30AM - sleep (1.5 hours)
10:00AM - wake
10:30AM - BF one side, solids, BF other side
12:30PM - sleep (1.5 hours)
2:00PM - wake
2:30PM - BF both sides
4:30PM - cat nap (30 min)
5:00PM - wake and BF one side (i'm going to switch this to cereal with EBM soon so it's more like dinner.)
6:15PM - bath
6:30PM - last feed
7:00PM - bed (asleep before 8PM.. it takes her a while to fall asleep)

she now sleeps through the night. we'll see where we're at after this week's growth spurt! i'd like to start extending her A times to cut out cat nap and i wish that she slept later in the morning
