Can you share your one nap a day schedule?

I think we are finally there.  I'm curious what others' schedules are. Also do you do snacks in the highchairs?  I think we are leaning toward this:

6:45ish wake

7:15 breakfast

9:30 snack

11:30 lunch

12:15-? nap

3:00 ish (whenever they wake) snack

5:30 dinner

7:20 bed

Re: Can you share your one nap a day schedule?

  • 6:30-7am ish wake

    7:30-8:00 ish breakfast

    10-snack

    11-2/2:30- nap

    2/2:30 lunch

    5-dinner

    7:30- milk cup

    8-bed

     

    I tried to keep them and do a nap after lunch, but I had to fight to keep the awake from  11-12 (which would be lunch time) so, atm we are doing nap before lunch. Eventually, I aspire to schedule more in line with how your day goes.  Also, my boys are almost 16 months now, and IF we have a later evening outing I definitely lay them down 10-12, do lunch,snackat 3pm and then lay them down again from 3:30/4pm-5pm and do dinner after a short 2nd nap. Otherwise they are falling apart by 7pm

  • Your schedule looks pretty good ruby. Ours is similar only we don't wake up quite as early and we do bed between 730-8pm.

     Your schedule looks identical to ours, except my kiddos go to bed for the night an hour earlier- probably b/c their one nap isn't super long.  And yes, we do snacks in high chairs.

  • that's about what we do, although they're often ready for nap by 11-11:30ish. and we do all meals and snacks in the high chairs in order to contain the mess to the kitchen.

  • We have about the same schedule.  When we first switched to one nap it was ealier, about 11 (we'd eat a really early lunch w/ no morning snack).  We gradually pushed it back to about 12:30.  We usually do snacks in their booster seats, however if it is something that doesn't make a mess (cheese stick or craisins) I'll let them sit on the kitchen floor.

  • 7ish - wake

    7:30 - breakfast

    10:45-11 Lunch

    1130-12ish Start nap

    Nap is anywhere from 30 minutes (FML) to 3 hours

    Snack after nap

    6pm Dinner

    7-7:15ish - Bed

    We've always done snacks in high chairs. Once they started holding their own bottles well in their high chairs, we moved to having all meals in there. Less messy for me :)

  • Thanks everyone, I think I will move nap up to after that first snack/lunch whatever it is.  My boys are way tired by 11:30 lunch.

  • 6:45 wake up

    7:00 breakfast

    9:30 snack

    11:30 lunch

    12:30-3 nap

    3:15 snack

    6:00 dinner

    7:15 in bed 

    So, pretty similar to yours. On weekends they wake up a little later around 7:30, so we squeeze the morning schedule a bit but they're down for nap by 12:45 or 1.
