Schedule

What does everyone's schedule look like these days? We have finally made the transition to one nap and I am trying to figure out the best schedule. This is ours, but I am considering making bedtime earlier because it seems like a long awake time:

6ish - Wake up
6:30 - Breakfast
10- Snack
10:30-1ish - Nap
1 - Lunch
3:30 - Snack
6:30 - Dinner
7:30 - Bed

Wakes up 7-8
Breakfast 8-8:30
Lunch 11:30
Nap 12:30-2 or 2:30ish
Snack between 3-4
Dinner 5:30
Bath 6:30
Bed 7:00

This is our basic one:

5:30-6:30: wake up
6:30: breakfast
9ish: snack
11ish: lunch
Noon to 1:30/2: nap
Midafternoon: snack
6: dinner
7: into bed

But on T/Th when we take DD to preschool in the morning, DS cannot stay awake until noon. So he naps 20 to 30 mins in the car and then we push the nap at home until 2 p.m. (which was when afternoon nap was when he took 2 regularly).

It kind of sucks because we are either stuck at home until 2 p.m. on non-school days or risk messing with the "normal" schedule more than we absolutely have to.

@LaurenAnthony2009 we are identical to your schedule other than we swap lunch and nap. She naps better on a full belly. So the nap happens at 1.

That is my goal to eventually have nap be after lunch. He falls asleep during snack so we can't quite make it there yet.

Ours is similar in terms of wake and bedtime, but we do lunch at 11:15 or so and nap 12-2. We also do dinner at 5 pm, since DD needs more time to digest before bed.

7:00 = Wake up; dress and eat breakfast immediately on weekdays as we are out the door at 7:15.

7:30 = Breakfast on weekends

9:00 = Snack

11:00 = Lunch

Noon-2:30 or 3:00 = Nap

4:00 = Snack

6:00 = Dinner; sometimes there is a bath afterwards.

7:00 = Bedtime

Wake up = 7-8
Breakfast = 8:30
Snack = 10
Lunch = Noon
Nap = 1 to 3ish
Snack = After nap
Dinner = 5
Bedtime = 7:30

She is pretty much on this schedule during the week with my mom. It does change up some on the weekends when DH and I are home with her.

She wakes up anywhere from 5 to 7, so some days I adjust the nap. Bedtime usually stays the same though.

6:00: wake up
6:30: breakfast
10:00: snack
10:30 to 12:00: nap
12:30: lunch
3ish: snack
5:30: dinner
6:00: bath
7:00: bed

On daycare days (4 days/week) I wske him up between 6:30-6:45 to leave by 7. On days off/weekends, he will sleep anywhere between 7-8. He eats breakfast around 7:30 at daycare. I follow their routine of snack at 9, lunch at 11:30, nap 12-2, and 3pm snack. Dinner is around 5:30, bath every other night, and bed around 7:30. Sometimes he falls asleep before lunch and we do it after his nap and skip his afternoon snack.

ks3pink · February 2014

Week days are early!

Wake up 5/5:30

Breakfast 5/5:30

Lunch between 12 and 1

Weekends they tend to sleep in until 6:30/7 and don't go to bed until 8, they also don't nap as well

@piphigirl - How in the sam hill are you out the door 15 minutes after waking up your LO??? I am seriously impressed! It takes me about 25-30 minutes to get out the door once I wake DD up. I have everything else done before I get her up - I'm dressed and ready. Her stuff for the babysitter is packed and in the car, all my stuff is packed and in the car, and I even start heating up my car before I get her up! I wake her at 5:45, we nurse for about 10-15 minutes. I change her diaper (I leave her in her PJs and the babysitter dresses her after breakfast). I put on her jacket and hat. She "plays" for literally 45 seconds while I put my shirt back on and put on deodorant (for some reason I like to wait until after we nurse for the deodorant). I put her in the car and we're on our way! I'm not dressing her or giving her breakfast, so that should save time! I need to take some serious lessions from you!

@LaurenAnthouny (OP) - We're still on a 2 nap schedule, so I can't give much insight about schedules for those on 1 nap a day. But its helpful to see everyone's differant schedules.
