9 month schedules?

Someone recently gave me a link to a thread of 8 month schedules. Does anyone know if there is one for 9 months or even 10 months? I tried to search and couldn't find anything. I'm trying to think ahead.....mainly, wondering, when do most babies drop from 4 bottles to 3?

 

FY Handbook-schedules

Right above this post, is a sticky titled, First Year Handbook. If you click on it, there are some great resources in there-that's where the schedules were put together. Take a look around!

As for dropping to 3 bottles, we did it closer to a year with Annabella, the boys were probably around 9/10 months old or so.

 

My boys dropped to three bottles at 8 months.

 

Wow - we just got them to drop to 4 finally this week. Mainly because the little guy just wouldn't eat enough at one time until now. Maybe the drop to three will come more quickly.

 

Thanks for the link. I guess I'm just trying to get an idea. I know each baby is different, but I think I could have gotten them down to 4 bottles a little sooner if I had just tried instead of just chugging away at the 5 bottles for so long. They took the change right in stride, so I guess I just wasn't giving them enough credit for being able to handle it!

 

Mine still take four 7 oz bottles a day and they are almost 12 months old!

 

Mine ate at least 4 times a day until they were about 13 months.. I think every kid is different!

 

What about breastfed babies of that age? Mine drink 3 full mommy milk meals a day and 2x after solids and still wake at night for a few midnight snacks.

 

I was JUST coming here to post my 10 month schedule and get some feedback. I feel like all they do is EAT!

6- wake & nurse. Diapers, dress, etc
6:30-7- Breakfast (Toast, some fruit, or yogurt)
Play in den - blocks, music (generally I practice a little guitar for a bit) Morning nap comes quick, so there isn't time to do much else, generally.
8:30- nurse & nap
10- wake & nurse
(Maybe a snack here? Today we did, it seemed to help their mood - just a little bit of cottage cheese)
outing/errands if there are any, otherwise chore time for mama and chase time for babes. (They love chasing me as I run laundry between rooms)
12:30ish- Lunch (Veggies and a protein or fat)
1:30- nurse & nap
3:00- wake & nurse
3:30-Snack (small piece of fruit, handful of O's)
outing/errands/etc - playtime!
5:00- nurse (sometimes a mini-nap, too)
Move gates around and "secure" dining room and kitchen so I can make dinner
6:00- dinner, daddy gets home
Outing - we've been taking the cooler evenings to go for stroller walks in the park
7:30 - Bath, nurse, bed

We're currently trying really hard to night wean and it's pretty difficult. So they still get up, well, about 4 times a night I'd say. *sigh*

What do other crawlers/cruisers do during the day?

 

My kids are formula fed, but it seems like you are nursing a lot. For example, at 1:30 and again at 3:00. Do they really need to eat that often? My basic schedule is:
6am - wake
6:15 - bottle (followed by morning playtime in the playpen while I eat breakfast and get myself dressed, get them dressed, etc.)
8:00 - breakfast (cereal with fruit)
8:30ish - nap (anywhere from an hour to two hours)
10:30 - bottle (followed by Baby Einstein and more playtime - usually free reign of the living room; on weekends we usually go out for a few hours)
12:30ish - nap
2pm - solids (protein, veg, and fruit)
2:45pm - bottle (followed by play with Daddy, who gets home from school about 3:30, sometimes a walk or if weather is bad, another Baby Einstein)
6pm - solids (veg and fruit) then bath
7pm - bottle and bed
