Schedules!

I've seen a lot of parents having trouble with getting their little ones to sleep through the night and/or to have regular schedules. Anna has been sleeping through the night since about two months of age. She definitely isn't a morning person, and the schedule we have worked out really works for all of us:


5-7AM: Wakes up with Joseph's alarm, has a 4 oz. bottle, typically goes back to sleep

10-11AM: Up for the day, clothes change; eats 2 tablespoons of cereal and 4 tablespoons of fruit, has a 2-4 oz. bottle

11AM-1PM: Playtime

1PM: Eats 4 tablespoons of vegetables (sometimes with meat), has a 4 oz. bottle

1-3PM: Usually goes down for a nap, 1-2 hours

3PM: Eats 4 tablespoons of fruit, has a 4 oz. bottle

3-5PM: Playtime while Mommy gets housework done

5PM: Eats 2 tablespoons of cereal and 4 tablespoons of vegetables (sometimes with meat), has a 2-4 oz. bottle

5-7PM: Usually goes down for a nap, 1-2 hours

7-8PM: Playtime with the family since everyone is home, pots and pans while Mommy cooks; finger foods (puffs, yogurt bites, etc.) and juice while the family eats dinner

8-9PM: Wind down with clothes change, cuddling, books, and bath time (if bath night, every other night)

9PM: Nighttime feeding, has a 4 oz. bottle

9-11PM: We usually get her down for the night


What's your little one's schedule? How does it work for you?
