daycare babies...

what's your day like? wake up time, after daycare time, bed time?

my little one has to be up by 6 to get to daycare by 6:45. she gets home around 4:30, and she's usually exahusted so she'll get some kind of nap. then i try to put her down between 7-8.

i don't know if i should try to keep her up in the afternoon and give her an earlier bedtime... but then she'd miss out on a bottle. what do you do?

    He wakes up and eats at 6 or 630am depending on what time I have to work. He gets home around 5 and usually eats once when he gets home and is out for the night. Once in a while he will get up for an 8pm bottle but always sleeps until the next morning. Daycare poops him out!

    It really depends on what his day was like at daycare.  I basically just follow his lead.  We normally drop off at 9:30 so we leave the house at 9 - and he'll eat anywhere from 6 -8:30 before we leave.  And then he's either ready for a nap or not when we get home depending on when he last napped at daycare. 

    When we get home, we always nurse and then if he's tired, he'll sleep.  If not, we play.  Bedtime routine starts around 7 or earlier if he seems tired or whenever he wakes from his evening nap.

    I get DD2 up at 5:30 to nurse while I pump, she then dozes off until 6:30 when we have to leave. I pick her up from DC around 4:30, she naps around 6:30 (allowing me to get dinner on the table) for about 45 minutes. She is down for the night around 8:30, waking once sometimes twice in the night.

    DD wakes up at 5:30 and eats, I pick her up around 3:30. She eats around 6, naps a little, plays a little, eats another bottle around 9 and is out for the night. =)
