Here's our EASY routine. The times vary from day to day depending on what time lo wakes up, and whether or not we run errands, but the times only vary by an hour at most.
E wake 6.00/6.30 and bf
S usually goes back to sleep til 7.00/7.30
A 7.30
E 8.00/8.15 solids
A 8.45
S 9.30/10.00 (for an hour, sometimes more)
Y
E 10.30/11.00 bf
A 11.20 (if we're running errands, going to the park, strolling, etc., this is when we get out)
S 1.30/2.00 (for an hour or more--UNLESS we've been running errands and he's fallen asleep in the car, then he doesn't nap so well)
Y
E 2.30/3.00 bf
A 3.20
E 4.00 solids
A 4.30
S 5.00/6.00 (he gets cranky anywhere from 5 to 6 in the evening...and this is where we get into trouble
)
--he'll either catnap for about 30 min or he'll sleep until 8 or 9 when we wake him (I'm journaling when he catnaps and when he really sleeps, and seeing what our activity that day looks like to see if that's a factor)
--it usually takes as much as an hour to get him to sleep unless we put him in the bouncy seat (he'll go right to sleep in the bouncy
)
Y
E 8.00 (w/ catnap) or 9.00 (w/ long sleep) bf
A 8.20/9.20 (A is very short, quiet, calm, and low key...putting on pj's, singing, etc.)
E bottle w/ formula and cereal when he starts to fuss
S 9.00/10.00 goes down for the night very easily right after the bottle (very little night waking, and goes back to sleep easily w/ paci if he does wake)
I'm open to any and all suggestions!!!
