I followed some guideline on KellyMom in re: getting mostly breastmilk for the first year. That breakfast gradually got bigger and is still huge. </p> <p>At 11m we started doing an afternoon snack around 3. That gradually got larger and moved to 2:30 (after nursing). Then we introduced a yogurt at 5pm (after nursing) around 14m. By 15m he was having a huge breakfast, a small snack at lunch, a bento lunch at 2:30 and dinner at 5. that's what we do now at 17m.</p> <p>In your schedule above, I'd keep everything the same and feed her solids after bfing in the morning. I'll see if I can find the kellymom article for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-my-65-month-olds-schedule#post-775503 Sat, 11 May 2013 18:48:15 +0000 MrsF 775503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 7 month old's day looks like this:</p> <p>6 or 6:30a -wake, bottle<br /> 9a - nap<br /> 10:30a - solids<br /> 11:30a - bottle<br /> 2p - nap<br /> 3:30 or 4p - wake, bottle<br /> 5p - solids<br /> 6:15p - bath<br /> 6:30p - bottle<br /> 7p - bed</p> <p>I sort of took the nap schedule from Weissbluth's "healthy sleep habits, happy child". That's what he recommends for this age and so that's where we started (I am the proud mama of a very high needs baby and that makes it really hard to tell when she needs a nap). She took to the 9a and 2p schedule and I just sort of followed her lead on the rest. Now we're in a good routine and it's nice to know what to expect. I would love for her AM wake-up to be a little later, but I haven't had any success trying to manipulate things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-my-65-month-olds-schedule#post-775387 Sat, 11 May 2013 16:30:52 +0000 Kemma 775387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Miss A has just dropped her third nap and started to get herself on a more predictable routine. I had some help from a postnatal advisor but our routine pretty much worked itself out.</p> <p>0715-0730. Wake up and Nurse<br /> 0945. Nurse<br /> 1000. Nap<br /> 1200. Wakeup and nurse<br /> 1245-1300. Lunch<br /> 1500. Nap 2<br /> 1600. Wake up and nurse<br /> 1730. Dinner<br /> 1900. Nurse and bath<br /> 1930. Bed</p> <p>We now go three hours between naps pretty consistently and I kind of fit the solids in around our meals so we're all eating together. I also throw in extra nursing sessions on demand and as required. My postnatal advisor said that in her experience most babies are on a two nap routine somewhere between six and eight months. She also said to try and wear Miss A out so that she's good and tired for her naps! </p> <p>Alternatively you could try the 2-3-4 schedule maybe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-my-65-month-olds-schedule#post-775231 Sat, 11 May 2013 13:06:18 +0000 hummusgirl 775231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea how things are *supposed* to work, but what's working for my LO now (7.5 months) is keeping him up between his first and second feeds, so he takes a looong nap until his third. So: </p> <p>7am Wake, bottle<br /> 10am Solids, bottle, then down for a nap<br /> 1pm Wake, bottle<br /> 4pm Solids, bottle<br /> 5pm Nap<br /> 6pm Wake<br /> 7pm Solids/bottle/bedtime routine<br /> 8pm Bed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-my-65-month-olds-schedule#post-775204 Sat, 11 May 2013 12:44:53 +0000 Beehive 775204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since he turned 6 months or so, I haven't been able to figure out the best schedule for my son (currently nearly 7 months old). The addition of solids into the schedule confuses me, and he's been fighting his third nap (some days he'll take it - and a long one at that - and other days he has skipped it entirely). </p> <p>His old schedule, which worked really well for months, was:<br /> 7am wake up and nurse<br /> 8:30 nap<br /> 11 nurse<br /> 12:30 nap<br /> 2 nurse<br /> 3:30 nap<br /> 5 nurse<br /> 7:30 nurse<br /> 8pm bed</p> <p>Does anyone have any ideas on what his new schedule should be? At the moment I've been giving him solids at breakfast and lunch, and I'd like to keep his bedtime the same if possible. </p>
