schedules for 10 mo olds

mamablase1

Good morning! DS will be 10 mo old on Saturday and we recently dropped his early am feeding b/c we usually had to wake him up anyway. We opted to just let him sleep and take the day from there. We started this 2-3 wks ago, I think. (who knows, time flies by way too quickly anymore) Anyway, we have yet to get on a consistent schedule (which I need). He was on a super-consistent schedule for several months before we just recently changed it. What are your 10 mo old's eating/sleeping schedules like? Is there light at the end of the tunnel for a schedule?

Our current 'schedule':

Wake up: typically 6-8am

bottle shortly after waking up, breakfast by 8ish

Oh heck, who am I kidding, I can't even attempt to write up a schedule...ugh

Michyme, this may be a silly question, but how do you give him toast? Do you cut it into strips?  put anything on it?  I am trying to veer away from purees and focus more on "real" foods, but have found it to be somewhat stressful.  I have no idea what I am doing!  That said, here is my daughter's schedule:

6:00 - Wake up, 6 oz bottle

Daycare drop off by daddy at 7:15-ish

8:00 - Breakfast.  Oatmeal with fruit.

 9:00- Snack - pureed fruit

10:00 - 8 oz bottle

Nap after bottle

12:00-ish - Lunch.  Usually pureed protein.

2:00-ish- 8 oz bottle

Nap after bottle

4:00-ish: Snack - Puffs

Daycare pick up by mommy at 4:30

6:00 - Dinner.  Usually soft fruit or veggie pieces, grated cheese, and a few bites of whatever we are eating.

Bath after dinner every other night.  Otherwise, get in pjs and play with daddy for a bit.

7:00- 6 oz bottle and bedtime

She will be 10 months on the 20th.  Honestly, if she wasn't in daycare I would probably have a hard time keeping her on a schedule.  Her DCP keeps things very regulated.

My little guy is only 9.5 months, but I've had him on some sort of a schedule since he was 5 weeks. Our day-to-day schedule flexes depending on what time he wakes up in the morning. He's sensitive to being kept up too long so, basically we go by the 2 hour and 15 minute waketime I know he can handle.

6-7a.m.: Wakes

7a.m: Nurse (if he wakes before 7, I let him play in his crib)

7:30-8: 2 oz. Fruit/veggie puree and 1-1.5 oz. yogurt or cottage cheese, 2 oz. formula

9ish:  Nap for about 1.5 hours

10:30ish: Nurse

12:  2 oz. Fruit/veggie puree and 1-1.5 oz. yogurt or cottage cheese, 2 oz. formula

12:45ish: Nap for 1-1.5 hours

2ish: Nurse

3: Afternoon snack of finger foods (fruit, veggies, toast, cheerios, cheese, etc.) and some water

4:15ish: Nap for 40 minutes to 1 hour

5:15ish: Nurse

6:30: 2 oz. Fruit/veggie puree and 1 ounce barley or oatmeal, 3oz. formula

7: Finger foods (some of whatever our dinner is)

7:30ish: Bath and bedtime routine which most of the time includes a short nursing

8ish: In bed (sttn 10-11 hours)

This is literally our exact schedule for DD.

My LO is closer to 11 months so I posted his schedule in the 11 month eating/napping schedule post a few posts down, you can check it out over on that thread.

DS is 9.5 months old.  His schedule is a little in flux as we consider trying to move to 2 naps, but we keep coming back to 3, so here is how it goes right now:

wake up 6 - 6:30 (we usually wake him during the week if he's still sleeping at 6:30 but he sometimes sleeps until 7 if he's not woken).

Nurse right after waking up.

Breakfast 1 hour later (toast/fruit/oatmeal etc.)

 Nurse and then morning nap 2 hours after waking, usually about 8-10

10:30 - nurse

11:30 - lunch (fruit, bread, cheese, leftovers, etc.)

12:30 - nap about 1 hour

1:30 - nurse

4 - nurse, nap about 1 hour

6 - dinner

7:- bath, nurse, books, bed

Bath, playtime 9:00: Nap 11-11:30- wake up, 6oz bottle 12:00PM- lunch- homemade yogurt, avocado, or puree 2:30- nap 3:30- wake up, 6oz bottle 6-6:30- dinner - puree or our dinner if he'll eat it 8:00- 8oz bottle 8:30- bedtime   A/O yesterday, he is 22lbs,12oz and 30.5in.
