Compiling Data: Please post your 6 mo schedules!

We are working towards getting some scheduling info together as a resource addition to our "sleep sticky" and would like to know what you 6 mo. olds schedules look like/looked like (roughly) Thank you!!!

example:

7:00 wake/bottle or bf
8:00 cereal
9:00 nap
12:00 bottle
1:00 nap
3:00 wake
3:30 solids


etc. etc. you get the idea. Thank you for your participation!!

 

7:30 am -wake/bottle
830am- nap
10am -wake/ excersaucers and jumperoo
1030- oatmeal and fruit breakfast
11-1200- baths and sesame street time
1230- bottle/ nap
300- wake from nap/ bottle
330-530- playtime
530- veggies and fruits for dinner and small bottle
6-7- playtime
730- bottle/ bed

 

Ours goes something like this

6:30a wake/bottle
7:00a playtime
8:30a nap
10:00a cereal/fruit/small bottle
10:30a playtime
11:30a nap
1:00p bottle
1:30p playtime
3:00p nap
4:00p cereal/veggie/small bottle
4:30p playtime
6:00p bath/bottle
6:30p bedtime

they still sometimes wake once during the night for a feed (or more often if they have been overstimulated during the day)

 

At 6 months ours went something like this:

6 AM -- Wake up, 8 ounce bottle
8 AM -- solids, which were fruits or rice/oatmeal mixed with formula or juice
10 AM -- nap time
12 -- bottle, 8 ounces
12:30 -- playtime on the floor or in the jumperoo or walkers. They usually played bumper cars in their walkers.
1:00 PM-- solids, veggies mixed with meat and juice.
2:00 PM -- nap time
4:00 PM -- bottle, 8 ounces
5:30 PM -- solids, veggies and juice
6:30 PM -- bath time, followed by playtime
8:00 PM -- bottle, 8 ounces
9:00 PM -- bedtime

 

Here is our schedule (give or take a half hour here and there):

7 a.m. - Wake/bottle
8:30 a.m. - Naptime
10:00 a.m. - Bottle/Breakfast (fruit/oatmeal)
12p.m. - Naptime
1:30 - Bottle
3:30 - Naptime
4:30 - Bottle/Dinner (veggies/cereal)
6:00 - Bathtime
7:00 - Bottle
7:15 - 7:30 - Wind down time (soft music, dim lights, story)
7:30 - Bedtime

Of course there's lots of playing between naps/bottles - exersaucer, jumperoo, tummy and roley poley time, mommy making goofy faces, etc.

5pm - play
6pm - bathtime/jammies
6:30pm - 7 oz bottle/cereal/solid

it's been along time.... um...
6 or 630 wake
BF every 3 hrs after that. 9, 12, 3, 6 ... hmmm. naps were 60-90 min and I would wake them up. I did solids at 6pm. cereal and veggies. 1 jar split between the 2 of them. and 1/3 cup cereal split between the 2. bedtime was 7pm? I had to do CIO so they would sleep 12 hrs. HTH

 

Ok we finally have a schedule...

6:15am wake
7:15am bottle (6oz)
8:00am cereal with fruit
8:45am nap
11:00am bottle (6oz)
12ish veggies and fruit
1pm nap
3:15pm bottle (4oz-6oz) depends on how much they want
5pm veggies and fruit
5:30pm bottle (4oz)
6pm bed time

In between we do a lot of floor time, exersaucer, sometimes we go out if the weather is good.

 

We have a schedule that may flex daily:

7:30 wake up
8:00 nurse/play
8:30 cereal with fruit
8:45 play
10:00 nap
11:00 nurse/play
2:00 nurse/nap
3:00 play
4:30 cereal with veggie
4:45 bottle
6:00 (if they can make it that long)bed

They usually sleep until 2am, then wake and eat and back to sleep and it starts all over again. Teething, growth spurts, and just plain cranky days throw it all off and all I do is nurse those days.

 

I do not have any sort of schedule here...just go off the cues of my girls. With them being the smallest...about the scheduling they have is when we go somewhere to pick someone up. And...I will say that I try...key word...try to get upstairs around 9ish to start to head to bed.

 

This is roughly ours, everything can vary though depending on when they get up or if they are hungry earlier or later.

7:00 wake, nurse
8:00 solids
8:45 nap
10:00 nurse
11:30 nap
1:00 nurse
2:30 nap
4:00 nurse
5:00 solids
6:00 baths
6:30 nurse, bed

They usually wake up around 3am to nurse.

 

6 month schedule:
6 or 6:30- Wake
7:00- Bottle
7:30- Oatmeal with fruit or veg.
7:30-9:00- Play
9:00- Morning Nap
10:30- Wake and Play
11:00- Bottle
11:15- Play
1:00- Nap (usually a shorter nap)
2:00- Play
3:00- Bottle
3:15- Play
5:00- Oatmeal with fruit or veg.
6:00 Bath
7:00- Bottle and Bed

 

It's been a while for us, but let me see if I can remember...

7:30 - wake/bottle
8:00 - play
9:00 - cereal/fruit
10:00 - nap
11:30 - bottle/veggies
12:00 - play
1:30 - nap
3:30 - bottle
4:00 - play
6:30 - stage 2 dinner & fruit
7:00 - walker/swing/jumperoo time
8:00 - bath
8:30 - bottle/bed

Anymore 6 month schedules to share?

 

Here is the schedule for my B/G twins:

7:30 Wake
8:00 8oz bottle (cereal for my daughter, she has reflux)
9:30 Breakfast - 1 jar each stage 2 fruit or cereal & water or fruit juice
10:30 - 11:30 Nap
12:00 Lunch - 1 jar each stage 2 vegetables and 5oz bottle
12:30 - 2:00 Play
2:00 - 3:30 Nap
4:00pm Dinner - 1 jar each stage 2 plus shared jar stage 2 fruit and 5 oz bottle
5:00 - 6:30 Play then bath
7:00 8oz bottle w/cereal
7:30 Bed

 

Our schedule at 6 months:
My girls nurse on demand, so times vary, depending if/when they had solids. We just recently introduced solids so we're still working out the new routine.

6:30 AM - Wake/Nurse/Play
8:00 AM - Nurse down to nap (I don't always nurse at this time)
8:30 AM - 10:00 AM Naptime (sometimes they sleep to 11)
10:00 AM - Nurse or Breakfast (avocado/sweet potato/brown rice/yogurt) / Play
12p.m. - 1:30 PM - Naptime
1:30 - Nurse/Play
3:30 - Naptime
4:30 - Nurse or Dinner (avocado/sweet potato/brown rice/yogurt)/Play
5:00 - Wind down time (stroller walk)
5:45 - Bath
6:00 - Nurse
6:30 - Bedtime

One sleeps through the night. The other wakes around 10PM about 4 nights a week to nurse, then sleeps through.

 

6:30am - bottle
7:45ish - nap
10:00am - bottle and cereal
11ish - nap
1:00pm - bottle
3ish - nap
4:00pm - bottle/cereal
6:00pm - bedtime

 

630/700am wake/nurse
800am solids (i.e. rice cereal with fruit)
900am nurse then nap
1030/1100pm wake/nurse
1130-1230pm go out
100pm nurse then nap
200/300 wake then nurse
300-500 go out or stay and play
430/5ishpm may take a third nap while out or home
500 nurse
600pm solids (i.e. vegetable)
630/700 read/bath/prayers
700/730 bed

They are getting a little better with sleep at night. They are doing a pretty good initial stretch from 700ish to 1130/1200am then up maybe one or two times more (sometimes 3 but less often). Improvement!!!!!

 

The boys are just a few days shy of 6 months. To me it's helpful to see the schedules sort of split into the parts of the day: morning, afternoon, evening:

5:30-6am Wake, nurse, place back in cribs
7:30 Wake and play
8:30 Nurse, cereal & banana
9:30-11:00 Nap

11:00 Nurse
11:30-1:30pm Go out (visit friends, mall, park etc.)
2:00 Nurse and nap
4:00 "the witching hour" stroller or car ride

5:00 Nurse and solids (veg)
6:00 Play with dh and bath
6:30 Bottle
7:00 Bed

 

We are at 6.5 months and this is what a "typical" day usually is:

645-7:00 Wake
7:00ish Nurse
Playtime
8:00 Cereal and a Fruit (sometimes just fruit)
Playtime (usually in the exersaucer and jumperoo)
9:00 Nap
10:00ish Wake
10:30 Nurse
Playtime
12:00ish Nap
1:30 Nurse
Playtime or an Outing
3:30ish short nap
4:30 Nurse
Going to do a second solid after this, a veggie
Sometimes go to the park after the nursing/solids and lay on a blanket with toys, nice way to end the day
6:00 or 6:15 Tubtime (bath, lotion, jammies)
Nurse and in bed by 645-7:00

Usually wake once around 130-230 to nurse, then back to sleep.

Sometimes they start to wake around 6:00 but I try not to get them out of the crib until around 650 or so ... but then there are times that they decide 5:45 is a great time to start the day. I just wing it every day!!! Thier morning nap is "typically" the longest, about an hour, and the other 2 naps can be anything from 20 minutes to an hour, but are usually about a half-hour or so. They also get a about 3 ounces of 1/2 juice and 1/2 water every day or every other day, the doc said it helps with constipation.

 

7:30a Bottle 6-8oz
playtime
8:30a Cereal and fruit
9:300a Nap
11:30a Bottle 8oz
sometimes quick nap
12:30p Veggies & Fruit
1:30p playtime
3:00p nap
4:00p bottle 8oz
4:30p playtime
5:00p Veggies & fruit
6:00p bottle
7:00p bedtime

 

This is just a rough estimate:

~4-5am night waking, BF
6-7am awake, BF, put back down to sleep if fussy
8-8:30 wake whichever is still sleeping, BF
9:30-10 morning nap
11:30-noon BF, solids
1-2pm afternoon nap
3-4 BF, try to keep them from waking older DC
5-6 sometimes an extra nap, time to be out of the house, usually another time to BF
6:30-8:30 nighttime bottle, down for the night

Although I do not have a by the clock schedule, the routine is: they wake up, I change diaper, nurse them, let them play till they start to fuss, then put them down to sleep. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. I have them in different bedrooms and don't force them to stay on the same schedule. With an older child, it doesn't benefit me as much to keep their sleep times the same. My life is actually easier when they're "off" from each other.

 

My guys are almost 6 months and my day looks something like this:

6:00 wake (used to be 7:00...going to try an earlier bedtime to see if I can get them to sleep longer...)
6:30 bottle (7 or 8 ounces)
play

8:30 nap
10:00 wake - cereal and fruit (just started fruit)
11:00ish - bottle (7 or 8 ounces)
play, take a walk, etc.

1:00 nap
2:00 wake, bottle
play

4:30 cat nap
5:00 cereal (going to start a veggie here soon)
6:00 bath, massage
6:30 bottle
7:00 bed

 

My babies are about 5 3/4 months, but have been on this schedule since about 14 weeks and I suspect they will be on this schedule thru 6 mo.
