what is your LO's daily schedule?

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
DS is now almost 10 months old and I feel like every day is a new adventure and that we are more or less flying by the seat of our pants.  Some days DS gets up at 5:30 and some days he gets up at 8:00.  Some days he takes 3 naps a day, some days he takes one long nap, some days he barely naps at all.  We started sleep training a long time ago, and have veered off course a great deal since then.  I know its best for DS and for my family if we are on a more rigid schedule (we just moved into a new home yesterday and needless to say, things have been a bit chaotic lately).  It would be ideal if DS would wake around 7:30 and go down around 7:30.  Does anyone follow this routine, and what is does the rest of your day look like?  Thanks!!!

    DD gets up around 7-730 and goes to bed at 7pm. She has a bottle about every 4 hours starting at 730. She does solids at 8:30am, 12pm and 530 pm. Napping she is pretty irregular with though. She naps at daycare everyday at 930 am and another at 1:30 pm. She doesnt nap well for me on weekends though.

    We've pretty much had the same schedule/routine since about 5-6 months. 

    7am: DH wakes Grant up - he gets dressed - has solid's breakfast

    7:45: The 'boys' get me up and DH leaves for work. Grant and I snuggle in bed for a little while and then we go for a walk, play, read, watch sesame street

    9:30: Grant goes down for first nap with bottle (and I finish getting dressed)

    12: Grant gets up from nap - has solid lunch - then we go to one of our play groups (today it is kindermusik), go to the park and swing, go for a walk, run errands, etc

    2:30: Grant goes down for 2nd nap with bottle

    5: Grant gets up from nap and we go to the park (again - where DH meets us on his way home from work), or run errands, go for a walk, play inside, etc (around 6-6:30 Grant has a bottle and a solid snack)

    7:15: Bedtime routine + bottles and he's out for the night around 7:45

    6:30-7am - Wake up/diaper change/ 8oz bottle

    Playtime/dress time/ hang out

    10am - Breakfast (fruit)

    10:30ish - bottle/ nap

    Noon- playtime

    Sometime between 2:30 and 5pm short cat nap/bottle

    6pm - Dinner (veggies)

    7pm - Bathtime

    7:30 - Bottle, story, bedtime.

    Obviously this schedule changes a bit day to day based on DD's mood, our schedule, etc. But, in general, whether it is my husband or I, we try to maintain this general schedule.

    We're kind of similar to you, except I'm not worried about getting him on a schedule.  He eats and sleeps when he wants.  He's happy, healthy, thriving and sleeping great at night and we're happy with it, so I have no plans to change.

    I honestly can't imagine scheduling his feedings and naps by the clock.  It would not work with him.

    He gets up between 7:45 and 8:15 usually.  Bottles every 3.5-4 hours during the day.  Solids around noon and 5:00.  Goes to bed between 7:45 and 8:30.  Takes 2-3 naps a day, although some days it's just one long nap.

    To all previous posters:  Do you intentionally follow the routine, or this is just sort of how it works out?  I'm wondering if I need to be strict about the routine, or should I just follow DS's lead.  I don't mind forcing the issue when it comes to bed time, but is it better to be strict with nap time?  And what about meal time?  I think I'm making this harder than it needs to be!
