Please share your schedule!

cd92007 · November 2014

I know schedules aren't for everyone, but if you and LO have one, can you please share it? I've been struggling with getting into a good schedule with DS... He's pretty much down to 2 naps instead of 3 and also breastfed and we are starting to do solids for lunch and dinner... I'm having a hard time getting in a rhythm with all of the above

ambarnett1 · November 2014

Between 7-8am wake up and bottle
10 or 10:30 or so nap
11:30 bottle
1:30 nap
3 bottle
4:30 solid foods
6 bottle, book, bath, bed
Asleep by 7

Playtime when not being fed or sleeping. Pretty basic right now. He sticks to it generally. Not always right on the dot as far as time.

hlm184 · November 2014

6-7 wake up

8:30ish nap, usually 1 hour and change

Lunch between 11 and 12

Nap around 12:30 for two hours or more

Dinner at 5:30-6

Bath and bedtime routine 6:30

Bed at 7

Nursing on demand.

snowbound · November 2014

Our schedule varies from day to day but it's basically..

Wake up between 5-6am
Nurse at 6am
Nap 8-9/9:15
Nurse after wake up
Second nap from 12-1/1:15
Nurse after wake up
*Last nap is from 3-4 but we don't always get this nap in. It's a hit or miss. Sometimes we nurse before this nap.
Bath routine starts around 530 and he's in bed at 6pm

We nurse on demand so sometimes there are more nursing sessions and at various times. Also, solids are a hit or miss, too. We don't have those scheduled yet.

momofmanyinthemitten · November 2014

6:30 wake up, nurse
7/7:30 solids
9-10-ish nap then nurse
Maybe a small solids snack when the kids eat lunch
1-2-ish nap then nurse
4:30/5 nurse
5:30 solids
6:15 bath
6:30 nurse
Asleep by 7
Nurses 3-4 times after being put down at 7

I'm a fan of the EASY routine, and then add in a meal an hour after nursing.

I would give anything for a schedule! One day I have faith that my son with adhere to one, or at least start sleeping and napping in general. The only schedule he maintains is his food schedule: every 2 hours like clockwork day and night.

kmos816 · November 2014

I would love a schedule and have tried to implement one but have failed! Plus she's in daycare and they've tried to follow a schedule but C always has something different in mind (aka she would rather not nap at daycare)

Shelbysteffens · November 2014

8-9 wake up eat
10-11 nap
11-12 eat
1-2 nap
2-3 eat
7:30 nAp
8 eat
10-10:30 sleep

The 7:30 nap is new, he used to just go to sleep then but this growth spurt has shot everything to hell, we are now working on making bedtime earlier

MissWhis · November 2014

I'm not a schedule type person at all, but I felt like my days once I became a SAHM were so random and disorganized that I put us on a routine and that kind of led to a rough schedule. Somehow a routine seemed less intimidating than a schedule to me, plus I don't feel like everything is all thrown off if a nap is short or super long or something.

I feel like it has helped her napping and bedtime so much, too, now that she knows what to expect from the day. Before this she was taking 30 min naps, now they are usually an hour, sometimes close to two.

katy4128 · November 2014

One a good day it looks like this. Inbetween eating and sleep we play aka I follow him around the house while he crawls like a speedy monster! Sometimes he wakes up at 5:30am if so he gets the morning bottle then. I am a SAHM so I try to run errands after the mornig nap or before the afternoon nap.

7/730:wake up/bottle
830: oatmeal & bananas
845-1030ish: nap
11: bottle
1230: eat (solids)
2:nap
3:30ish: snack (bottle & puffs)
5:30: eat (solids)
7:30: bedtime routine begins & bottle

janice9821 · November 2014

6 - 6:30ish - wake up and nurse
7 -7:30ish - some combination of bananas and eggs and mum mums for breakfast
8 - daycare dropoff
9 - nap
10 - bottle and cereal
12 - nap (sometimes)
1 - bottle and fruit puree
3 - nap (closer to 2 if she didn't take the 12:00 nap)
4 - bottle and veggie puree and cereal
5:30 - daycare pickup
6:30 - she has some of whatever is for dinner
7 - sleep (give or take 30 minutes)
8-9ish - wake up to nurse
12-1ish - wake up to nurse
4-5ish - wake up to nurse

We try to keep more or less the same schedule on the weekends but we don't make ourselves crazy over it. Sometimes her nap spacing varies a bit more on weekends, and I'm likely to give her more finger foods instead of the the cereals and purees.
