You know, the only thing I did that made him sleep later was drop to two naps 🤷🏻‍♀️ Then sleeping till 7/7:30 just fell into place. Looking at your schedule, one easy thing I can think of is maybe to just not go in till 7am. Is she happy when she wakes at 6/6:30 or does she cry for you? If she’s happy I might just leave her till 7 then make a big exciting production at 7am. Sometimes they just wake when they wake because we go get them and they become conditioned to wake at that time. The other possibility is to reduce wake time between naps. At this age the max they can prob do between 1st and 2nd nap is about 3 hours. But sometimes they can only do 2 hours. I would try to do nap at 1pm and then see how that works for a few days and tweak if necessary. So it would look like this: 7am Bottle (I know our LOs are similar in that they aren’t crazy about bottles, but if yours is ravenous in the AM this might not work. And remember they’ll be dropping bottles in like1-2 months!) 8am Yogurt 8:30am - 10/10:30 Nap 11am Bottle 12pm Lunch 1-3pm Nap 3pm Bottle 4:30pm Dinner 6pm Bottle and bed (even my “meh” bottle drinker will drink his bedtime bottle after eating dinner, it’s the easiest one...and again, bottles will start to go away soon anyway). That is how mine started to sleep till 7/7:30. I think if you start to structure his naps and feedings where you want them to be, the rest will fall into place. And I have to say, a 6pm bedtime with 7am wakeup is GLORIOUS. 😂 SweetiePie on "9m old schedule?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9m-old-schedule#post-2864740 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:16:53 +0000 SweetiePie 2864740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @natalie403: same as @JJ2626: at 9 months we did mostly purées with some finger foods here and there (mostly me being lazy because, 2nd kid). Now at 10.5 months I’m making an effort to do more finger foods, but if I’m having a bad day or things are rushed I’ll totally do a pouch. Or I’ll do protein finger food (fish or chicken or meatball) and then a pouch of veggies or something. Today for breakfast was toast with a very thin layer of PB cut into little squares. And blackberries cut into quarters. Lunch was random - edamame, cantaloupe and a piece of croissant haha. Tonight for dinner he’ll try salmon and I made rice pilaf last night that he loved so I’ll give that leftover. And probably edamame or peas again. Good things to start with if you’re still not doing finger foods are peas (frozen ones, steam in bag are great) because they are small and mushy. And easy to pick up since they don’t stick to the highchair. And scrambled eggs (as long as you have no reason to suspect allergy) - also very soft and can be made sort of like an omelette and cut into small cubes). Shredded cheese. Blueberries cut into halves or even quarters if you’re nervous. Of course puffs are good for practicing pincer grasp. Oh watermelon is good too. A little messy but easy to grab since it’s not slippery and easy to chew without teeth. Canned beans are great too - same thing, mushy and easy to grab. Very nutritious. Just rinse them in water first. And there are lots of things you can do that aren’t really super solid but lots of texture (you’d feed on a spoon). Like mild chili or even just ground beef that is seasoned. Rice. Cous cous. Quinoa. And if you really feel ambitious (I kid, it’s an easy recipe but again, I’m lazy), there is a great recipe I got from HB for quinoa broccoli cheese bites. I make a batch in mini muffin tins and have them in the freezer for a few weeks. Just nuke 1-2 and it’s perfect portion.

Eggs, Cheerios, banana, beans, rice, potato, avocado are her faves. And yogurt. But at 9 months she did more purées and then we just kind of noticed she wanted more finger foods. natalie403 on "9m old schedule?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9m-old-schedule#post-2864662 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 08:47:03 +0000 natalie403 2864662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @LadyDi: Thanks for sharing! It sounds like ours are similiar! This is helpful!! :) @SweetiePie: This schedule sounds great! I find he takes better naps at home but probably because less noise from the other kids etc. What do you do for solids? Do you do finger foods yet?? @JJ2626: Ok that amount makes me feel better! I couldn't figure out if it wasn't enough (I know they say food before 1 is just for fun but he LOVES food... and isn't as interested in as much bottles) I have his 9m appt tomorrow so I guess I can run it by them too! Do you do purees or finger foods now?

At our 9 month appt the ped said it’s normal for intake to drop around now. My LO is 10.5 mos but has been on 2 naps since about 9 months. She eats about 20-24 oz of formula per day (has never been a huge eater). Her schedule is: 6:00/6:15am wakeup — @SweetiePie: any tips to get her to wake up a bit later? Sometimes it’s 6:30 but I can’t figure out what makes it happen! 6:30: 5oz bottle 8am: yogurt 8:45-10:15 nap 10:30: 4-5 oz bottle 11:00: solids 1:30: 3 oz bottle (sometimes) 2-3:15 nap 3:15: 5oz bottle, solids snack 5:30: solids 6:30: 6 oz bottle and right to sleep (asleep by 6:45/7 and sleeps through the night) ETA: When we started transitioning to 2 naps, we basically gave her 2 naps if she woke from her 2nd nap after 2pm. If she woke before 2pm, we gave her a catnap around 4/4:30. That worked and then eventually her 2nd nap started getting later.

So we’re probably on the same trajectory. He was very late to drop his third nap. He was waking at 5:30-6am for so long but we never got him till 7am. But we still had to put him down for his first nap by 8am LATEST because he was such a mess. And it was this vicious cycle. I knew he was waking early because he was getting too much daytime sleep. But I couldn’t figure out how to get him all the way till 6 or 7pm bedtime when his first two naps ended by 1pm. He finally had a morning he slept till almost 7am so I just went for it. Right now he does this: 7am wakeup (honestly it’s sometimes 7:30 now which is amazing) and bottle 8am breakfast 9-10:30/11am nap 11am bottle 12pm lunch 1-3pm nap 3pm bottle 4:30/5pm dinner 5:30 bath 6pm bottle and right to bed So he’s now sleeping 6pm-7am Napping 8-10:30/11 and 1-3pm It’s so wonderful and my only regret is not trying to transition to 2 naps sooner!

He dropped to 2 naps around 7 months. Typically, wakes around 7, haha 6-8 oz bottle, breakfast around 8, naps at 930, 6oz bottle when he wakes, lunch around noon, nap around 2, 6 oz bottle when he wakes, dinner around 6, 6 oz bottle before bed between 7:30-8. natalie403 on "9m old schedule?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9m-old-schedule#post-2864031 Sat, 29 Dec 2018 18:46:17 +0000 natalie403 2864031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Hi mamas! Just wondering if anyone could share their infants schedule? I think my 9m old is condensing naps down to 2 and it’s affecting his eating schedule and I can’t for the life of me remember how my 3yo was at this age. He does solids 3x day and 7oz bottles. I find when his naps are longer he only takes 4 instead of 5 bottles but seems ok so wondering if I just up to 8oz?? He sleeps from around 7p til 5:30/6:30a and has bottle when he wakes. Then solids around 8:30 followed by nap (anywhere from 1-2 hrs), another bottle then solids around noon time then nap around 1ish for an hour then bottle then dinner around 5:30ush then bottle before bed by 7. He’s up to the stage 3 solids and does puffs well. Just would love to see how other infants schedules are at this stage.. Thanks so much :happy:
