My DS is 14 weeks old and has been on EASY for 4 - 5 weeks now. He is exclusively breastfed apart from one occasonal bottle of formula at bedtime (I usually aim to give EBM). We've had a few disruptions in that time, with trips away etc, but generally he is settled into the following routine:-
7.30am Wake & feed
8.00am Activity (quiet play and time with daddy)
9.00am Nap (1 - 1 1/2 hours)
10.30am Feed
11.00am Activity (mums & babies group, coffee mornings, etc)
12.00pm Nap (1 - 1 1/2 hours)
1.30pm Feed
2.00pm Activity (gym mat, playing with mummy, etc)
3.00pm Nap (45 mins - 1 hour)
5.30pm Feed
6.00pm Activity (time with daddy)
6.30pm Bath, massage
7.15pm Feed (bottle)
7.30pm Bed
10.30pm Dream feed
My question main question is how long this routine will be appropriate for him and what changes I will have to make as he grows? We are going on holiday for two weeks when he'll be 5 months old, and I return to work when he'll be 8 months old and he'll be going to nursery 3 days a week

Also, how long does it take for babies to learn to go through into their second 45 minutes of nap time once you have succeeded in getting them to do it with your help? After two weeks, I can now get DS into his second part with about 10 minutes of placing my hand on his chest (no pat/shush) but wondered when I'm likely to be able to leave him to go through on his own.
Thanks!
