A new feeding schedule?

TMILLER45

I'm a teacher so I'm heading back to work this week. DD is 15 months old...I have to wake her up at 6am. What is your feeding schedule ? When do you give breakfast, snack, and lunch? I just feel like the schedule I have her on now is weird ! 6am bottle and some cherrios or some sort of dry cerealShe naps around 9am and that can be from an hour to 2Then when she wakes up I give her a real breakfast with fruit, so figure between 10-11Then around 1 is lunch and I'll give her an afternoon snack between lunch and dinner, dinner is at 6.Would you give her real breakfast at 6am and just a snack around 10 ? Thank you for your advice!

LO is in the toddler room now so he follows their schedule.....but last year at this time he was about 15 months old when he returned to daycare in the fall.

If I remember correctly this is what his shedule was- 

6:00 wake up and get dressed

6:15 out the door

6:30 arrive at daycare

6:45 breakfast #1

9:00ish breakfast #2

11:30-12 Lunch

12:30-3 Nap

3:15 snack

5:30 dinner

7:00 bed

 

When he was 18 months old he switched to the toddler room- so we had to modify his schedule a bit  - this is what it became and still is now that he is back at school

5:45 wake up and get dressed

6:00 small breakfast at home

6:15 out the door 

6:30 arrive at daycare

8:30 breakfast

11:30 lunch

12:30-3:00 nap

3:30 snack

6:00 dinner

7:30-8 bedtime

 Hope that helps!

Thank you! I just wasn't sure if having 2 breakfast times was crazy or not! I guess I'll stick to it!

Is LO going back to a center or an in-home?  Because eventaully if you LO is going to a center she will move up to the toddler room and you will the schedule to mimic the toddler room's schedule.  But those are things that can be figured out as you go, just talk to the teacher and work together.

Everything will be fine!
