ok so here goes

Wake 6ish
milk on waking up
bfast 7:45
sleep 8:45/9
wake up 9:30/10 (45 mins - 1 hr 10 min nap)
milk 10
lunch 11:45
sleep 12:30
wake up 2ish (sometimes he will wake up in between and needs to be AP back)
milk 2
dinner 4:30
sleep 7:45-7:30 varies due to independent sleep training...sort of
he wakes between 10-1am for a feed then again aroudn 5ish when DH puts him back to sleep without milk


the above is only for the perfect rare day  ::)

Colin's nine months over here plus a angel baby whos been STTN since 10 weeks so I'm not sure if we're a good example but here's our typical day.

7:00 Wake and Bf
9:00 Solids
10:30 1st nap 1.5 hrs
12:00 Bf
2:00 Solids
3:45/4:00 2nd nap 1.5 hours
6:00 Solids
7:00 8 oz Formula bottle
7:30/8:00 Bed
This is all approx. times. Give or take 15 min here and there.

So glad I found this ds is just a little over 8 months and I'm struggling with how to fit in his BF/EBM feeds and longer A times. So it's good to see all these routines.  We still have 1-3 NW, depends on the night, but they are really short.

Typical day lately goes like this (we still have days where T needs a catnap about 530-6:00, but that seems to result in a very late bedtime around 9:30 so we're avoiding that!):
6:30 wake up
7:00 E 4-8 oz or BF if I'm home
8:00 solids
9:30/10:00 Nap (about 1.5 hours)
11:00 E 2-4 oz
12:00 solids
2:00/2:30 Nap (about 1.5 hours)
3:00/3:30 E 2-4 oz
5:30 BF when I get home from work
6:30 pj, books and asleep by about 6:45/7:00

My LO is 7 1/2 months and our EASY is as follows

7am: Breastfeed
8am: Breakfast porridge/half banana
930-10.30 SLEEP
11am I try and give him milk here but sometimes he is uninterested, it's either a breastfeed if he will take it or about 3-4 oz of milk
12LUNCH. 3 cubes of meat/veg and a petit filous
12.30-2.30 SLEEP
3 milk (again try and BF first and then if he doesn't take it maybe 3 oz formula
5.30 fingerfood dinner, whatever we are having
6 BATH
6.30 milk. this is a 5 oz bottle but he usually only ever has 4oz.
Bedtime 7.



We only recently dropped the 3am night feed, my clue to drop it was that he was not eating in the morning. We just offered water instead.
Hope this helps.
