Now, I don’t plan out every second of my day, but I do love a good routine. I thrive off of being productive and getting stuff done, and if I don’t at least have a general plan for my day when I wake up, nothing gets done and I go to bed feeling like I wasted my day. I’ve found that I easily get stressed out when I don’t know what to expect during my day. I don’t care where we go to dinner, what movie we watch or what we cook for dinner, but in other areas, I’m more particular. Right now, we still “dream feed” at 10:00pm, and we’ll slowly start to phase that out as she eats more during the day.įor more sample schedules, click on these links for 9 to 12 Months, 12 to 18 Months, 18 Months to 3 Years, or To Know You’re Not Alone.* This has post has been re-published, as I’ve been getting lots of questions about baby schedules for newborns, so wanted to bring this back to life since a lot of it now escapes me! Hope you find this helpful! I also have Owen’s schedule at 7 months and 12 months too! We turn on her sound machine and leave the room, and she puts herself to sleep. I spread out a blanket for N to sit on and bring out a basket of toys.Ħ:00pm Bath & Playtime - We don’t give N a bath everyday unless she’s REALLY dirty.ħ:00pm Bottle (or Nurse) & Bedtime - N usually falls asleep while eating, but if she doesn’t, we put her down while she’s still awake with her lovey. But really, I hardly ever clean.Ģ:30pm Playtime - If N wakes up early from nap, she plays in the office while I continue to work on the computer.Ĥ:00-5:30pm Playtime - This is when we usually go outside to play. Sometimes we have this meal outside if L wants to play in the backyard.ġ2:00-12:30pm Playtime - N plays in the dining room while L and I have lunch.ġ2:30pm Bottle (or Nurse) & Nap - N usually naps until at least 2:45, sometimes all the way until 3:30! This is when I work on my blog or clean. We will be able to get so much more done in the morning when she doesn’t have to nap! I wake N up right at 10:30 if she’s still sleeping, because I need the afternoon nap to be on schedule.ġ0:30-11:30am Playtime - I usually play with N during this time, or we use it as the one hour we have during the day to run errands!ġ1:30am Lunch - Solid foods and water. L stopped taking a morning nap around 8 months old, so I’m hoping it’s soon. ![]() N usually plays independently at this time or with L.ĩ:30-10:30am Bottle (or Nurse) & Nap - I cannot WAIT for N to be done with taking a morning nap. It doesn’t take two hours, so we also play downstairs when I’m done. I give her purees and some water for breakfast.ħ:30-9:30am Playtime - This is usually when I’m getting ready in the morning, so I have a little space set up in my bedroom for N to play while I’m getting ready. She is just 6 months old, so she isn’t eating finger foods yet. I need to know what to expect from her the whole day, especially since I also have a toddler at home.ħ:00am Breakfast - This is when we serve solid foods to N. I wake her up so she’ll be ready for her morning nap at the right time. I know, I know, never wake a sleeping baby. If she is still sleeping at 7:30am, I wake her up. This schedule works for us - especially because it meshes well with L’s schedule.Ħ:30am Wake up - N usually wakes up for the day between 6:30 and 7:15am. ![]() Keep in mind that every baby is different and has different needs. I decided to write up the schedule that we are currently following with N so other moms can get an idea of what timing we use for things. When I had my first baby, it was hard for me to figure out what her daily schedule was supposed to look like.
