What is everyone's current schedule with their LO? When do they wake up, eat, naps, bedtime, etc. I feel like I'm failing this week!! I can't decide if Graham wants 1 or 2 naps, sometimes he sleeps through the night and sometimes he doesn't, sometimes he eats food and sometimes he throws it all to the dogs. Just when I thought we were getting on a predictable schedule, it all goes out the window. I'm going crazy over here!!
I have found that since Christmas she has been thrown off. I think she needs her routine back, which will happen Monday. But we have this as our usual schedule:
630-7: wake up 730: breakfast and bottle 10: snack (if shes hungry) 1030/11-1/130: nap 130: lunch and bottle 330/4: snack 5/530: dinner and bottle 6: routine 630: bedtime.
Mine is similar to above, except she gets her morning bottle on wakeup, and evening bottle about 30 minutes before bed. + afternoon nap sometimes. Bedtime is around 730pm.
6-6:30: Up for the day 7:30: Breakfast and bottle 9:30: Snack 11:30-12: Lunch 12-12:30: Nap 3: Snack 5-5:30 Dinner 6:30: Bath 7-7:30: Bottle and bedtime
He has been fighting his morning nap, so about a month ago the daycare had him only doing one nap. Sometimes if he doesn't sleep well the night before he will have two naps.
7:30-8: Wake up & nurse Eat breakfast (puffs, yogurt, eggs if I have time) 10-11: nap (if he's home, daycare he only gets one) 10:30: snack 12: nurse & eat lunch (whatever we're having and/or pouch)
1-3: nap at daycare; more like 2:30-3:30 if at home 3: snack 6: nurse & eat dinner
8: nurse & bedtime
I think we will move him to only one nap this weekend, it seems like he may be ready for it
7/7:15ish Wakeup 9-10ish Nap 1 2-4ish Nap 2 7:15/7:30ish Bedtime
He nurses after every wakeup and before each sleep, so 6x/day, and eats a solids meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I need to start adding in snacks. He wakes up 0-1 time per night (except the three times last night! Hoping it was a fluke and not the beginning of a new trend).
7:30/8 wake up and bottle 9:30 breakfast 1030/11-1130/12 nap 12:30 lunch and bottle 2:30/3 nap 4:00 bottle and snack 6:00 dinner 730/8 bottle and bedtime
Daycare's schedule is all off, but at home it goes like this:
630-7 wake up and nurse 730/8 breakfast 9 ish nurse and nap 11ish nurse 1130/12 lunch 1/130 nurse and nap 230/3 nurse 4/430 dinner 6 nurse and bed
She used to sleep through the night, but more recently she has been up a few times to nurse. I think it's bc my supply is so low. I feel bad, but she won't take a bottle from me, and the pedi doesn't want us giving her dairy, so I'm at a loss of what to do. I feel like I need to give her more snacks, but I already feel like all she is doing is eating all day. But I guess that's normal?
8-8:30 (baby is woken up, won't wake up unless woken) 9 breakfast+fruit +#1bottle 10-30/ 11-nap#1 (1 hr 15mins, starting to stretch it out to 1 1/2 hrs) 12:30-1 lunch+#2bottle 2:30- fruit snack + water(keeps her full during nap 2) 3/330-nap #2 (1 hr-1 15mins) 4pm snack+#3 bottle 7:30-dinner, bath, #4bottle 8pm- asleep Sleeping through the night, no feeds or wake up. (finally)
6:00-6:30 wake & nurse 7:00-7:30 breakfast 9:00/9:30 nurse or bottle and nap 1 10 snack 11:45/12 lunch 1:30ish nurse or bottle and nap 2 3 snack 5-5:30ish nurse 6 dinner 6:45-7:15ish nurse and bedtime
She is usually a short cat napper during the day (20-40 min. naps) and wakes at least once a night still to nurse.
On weekends our schedule is: 5:00-6:00: wake up 5:30 or whenever he wakes up: nurse 6:30-7: breakfast 7:30: nurse 8-9:30: nap 9:30: nurse 10:30: snack 11:30 lunch 12 nurse 3 snack 5:30 dinner 6:30 nurse then bed
6-wake up and bottle 730 oatmeal or pancakes (I prep and take to daycare.) 8:30-9:30 nap (her room at daycare only naps in the afternoon, so they're taking her back to the infant room to nap. If she's at home, she'll nap for 2+ hours sometime.) 9:30 snack (Puffs, veggie straws, fruit, etc.) 11:00 lunch (at daycare, they get whatever the school lunch is cut up really small. She eats all of it every day, so why mess with success? At home, she gets leftovers or something like cheese and lunchmeat.) 12:00 nap (at daycare. Our nap runs more 1:30 or 2.) She'll sleep for a solid 2 hours. 3:00 Snack and sippy cup with some formula 5:30 pickup from daycare, and she will occasionally cat nap on the way home. 6 dinner (solid food--whatever we're eating, and if we're doing fast food, she'll get fruit and cereal. Last night, she ate oatmeal with strawberries in it, a half of a pear, and a ton of cheerios.) 7 start bedtime routine--if we do bath, 6:45 7:30 bottle and bed. She'll sleep soundly for a few hours, but we're dealing with night terrors, so by midnight/1, I've given up and moved her to our bed. We're side-carring the crib tonight. She'll have 3-4 a night, but just requires some soothing--no bottles, etc.)

Many of your babies are down to 1 nap now. When did they make that transition?
Mine started early.. 9 months. Mainly because of our daytime schedule and activities she was in. Now that she walks she sometimes had two naps but usually one still. They will let you know when they want one. Mine was tired but would never want her second nap after fighting it for close to a month I moved her morning nap up

Like @cali1710 said you'll know when your babe starts refusing the second nap consistently for a long time. I would make sure not to give up on it too soon because my little guy refused almost every day for two weeks but I kept trying and he went right back to taking them. All babies are ready at different times though. I know mine isn't because he still NEEDS his morning nap by about 9 so there's no way I can push that back to drop to one yet!
Up between 6:30-7:30. Bottle when he wakes. Breakfast around 8:00. Bottle around 10:00 Nap from 10:00/10:30-11:30/12:00 Lunch at 12:30 Bottle at 2:30 Nap from 2:30/3:00-4:00ish Dinner around 5:00 Bottle around 7:00 Bed around 7:30
Lots of cheerios thrown in there at random times haha
Cuties! They're in season right now, and my LO will devour until you cut her off! My husband was peeling one for her, and he set half a cutie on her tray to tear the segments on the other half apart. The next thing you know--she had grabbed that half, shoved the whole thing in her mouth and gummed it to death!
Cheerios all the time lol. But we do pomegranates, other fruits, anyone give their kids goldfish? Wasnt sure if they were ok to give
A doctor shamed my coworker for giving her (much older) kids goldfish. I think they are salty and nutritionally void, so I personally avoid them... Man are they delicious though.

Lol, I had to look this up. "Mandarins" for anyone else whose living under the same rock as me. My LO loves them too.

You don't call them cuties?! whaaaa?!
So, are you all putting them back in the highchair for snack time? I can't imagine giving him fruit when he's not in it. So messy. Also, I feel like I give him A LOT of fruit.
We actually call my son the cutie killer because he will eat sooooooooo many. I don't think he would stop if I didn't stop giving it to him haha also I would like to alter my schedule to include a 5am wake up the past week... I really hope it's the 3 molars coming in causing this and that it will go back to normal when they're done

My husband gave her 4 one day. FOUR. Let's just say, in that quantity, they look pretty much the same coming out. I had to put a strict one-cutie-per-day limit on them. @nlwz123 We do high chair for everything except the occasional puffs and/or teething biscuits. My LO is now to the point where she either wants to smear everything in her hair, or crush it in her fist before putting it in her mouth.
Lol yes, smearing in the hair, crushing in the fist, and also smearing on the legs is a sometimes fun thing for LO. After she does it she's upset that she's a mess though

For other snacks I try to give her as many different fruits and veggies as possible. Sometimes cheese or cottage cheese. Rice crackers in a jam.
