Bedtime right after bottle.
They sleep through the night.

 

let me just preface this by saying that I am really bad at scheduales and ours can vary a LOT during the day but this is the general idea.

6am wake up - if they have slept all night, then they want a bottle right away. if they have woken up to eat, then they wont take a bottle for about an hour. they are very inconsistent sleepers.
8am - breakfast in the form of cereal/yogurt/cottage cheese. whatever sounds good
9-9:30ish - 7 oz bottle
10am - nap (Nate is a cat napper and will only sleep about 30 mins, Gabe might sleep 1-2 hours)
12pm - lunch. Cereal, applesauce, cottage cheese w/7oz bottle
1-2pm go down for another nap
4pm - 7oz bottle
6pm - dinner
6:30 - bathtime
7pm - 7oz bottle & nate goes to sleep
8pm - gabe goes to sleep


how the heck are you getting all these late wake up calls?? this 530-6am wake up is killing me!!

 

530-630 wake and 7-8oz. bottle
830 nap (30 min to 1.5 hours)
10-1030 4-6 oz fruit or oatmeal/fruit and 6-7 oz bottle
1230 nap (30 min to 2 hours)
2-300 (depends on nap...) 7-8 oz bottle
430 catnap (30 min)
530-630 4 oz. veggie each and 2 oz. fruit each and 4-8 oz bottle
630-7 bed

would love the wake up to be a bit later- but night time is so good- I won't push it!!

I am new to this site and have been having difficulty with the boys sleeping through the night. I thought if someone looked at their schedule they might see something that could be modified.

6:30a.m. wake up/ morning milk
8:30-9:00 breakfast
9:00-10:00 playtime
10:00-11:00/11:30ish nap (length can vary)with milk before nap
12:30 lunch
1:30-3:00 or so: nap with milk before nap
5:30 milk
5:45-6:30 playtime
6:30-7:00 dinner
7:30ish bath
8:00 bottle and bed

nightime varies with them getting up 4-8 times....(have been through a cold, shots and bottom front teeth recently) I am trying the CIO method....HARD!!!

 

We finally have a solid schedule I can count on!

6:30 wake up/nurse
8:15 nurse
8:30 - 10:00 nap
10:30 grain based meal + fruit & veg
12:00 nurse
12:30 - 2:00 nap
2:30 yogurt based meal + fruit & veg
4:00 - nurse
6:15 - nurse
6:30 - bed

They both sleep in their own cribs in their own bedrooms, no pacifier, no swaddle. S sleeps through the night every night without a peep. C wakes up 2-3 times a week at 4:30AM to nurse.

Our girls are nurse-aholics. They expecially nurse in the evening. There have been nights where they start nursing at 6 and are latched on until 9:30 (YES- nursing the entire time). Our girls really don't nap unless we are in the car.

That is our schedule

 

Wake around 6.45-7.00 am
Solids at 8 am
Nap at 9 am (1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours)
Bottle 5 oz
Solids at 12.30 pm
Small bottle at 12.45 pm
Nap at 1 pm (1 1/2 - 2 hours)
Bottle 5 oz
Solids at 5 pm
Bath at 5.15 pm
Bottle 6 oz at 5.30 pm
Bed 6.00 pm
Wake around 5.30 - 6.00 am (7 oz bottle) and back to bed / sleep until 7-ish.

 

6am - wake up
7am - bottle
Playtime *
8am - solids
Playtime *
9am - nap (30mins for one, 1hr for the other) - yup, they don't nap the same
10am - bottle
Playtime *
12noon - nap (30mins for one, 45min-1hr for the other)
1pm - bottle
Playtime *
2pm - solids
3:30pm - nap
4pm - bottle
Playtime *
6:30pm - bottle
7pm - bedtime

We will be adding a 3rd solids meal in their day pretty soon (probably around 5:30pm)? Not sure.

* Playtime covers every activity other than eating or sleeping

 

I always try to post their schedule halfway into the month to get the best overall picture. I think they are in the middle of switching from 3 naps to 2 but we'll see. Anyways, this is how things are going:

630ish Wake (usually 630-645, sometimes 7)
7:00 Nurse
8:00 Cereal and fruit (jarred or homemade puree)
8:30ish Nap (this will go from 1 to 2 hours)
10:00 Nurse
11:30ish Vegetable
12:30 Nap (length all depends)
1:30ish Nurse
If needed, 3:45 or 4:00 Nap
4:45 Nurse
5:30 Vegetable, sometimes with meat (stage 2 food), fruit for dessert, usually applesauce
6:00 Tubtime
6:30 Nurse
Off to bed!

They still wake up to nurse around 230-430 in the morning, and lately have been waking up more often. Not sure what to do about that. If the morning nap is a longer one, and the afternoon nap is longer, where they end up waking up about 3, then I don't do any more naps for the day. If the morning and early afternoon naps are shorter, they can't go until bedtime without a 3rd nap in there but I don't let them sleep past 4:45. Nursing is vaguely every 3 hours, sometimes goes to 4 hours depending on naps and solids. Solids are a mix of fresh steamed and pureed fruits and veggies, and jarred Stage 2, and cereals. They love squash, sweet potatoes, and sweet stuff, like applesauce and pears.
Playtime, they still love the exersaucer and Jumperoos. They can both sit up very well now and are attempting to crawl - Chase can combat crawl and Con I think would be crawling already if it weren't for his cast, but he pulls himself around. They love to play outside, love "roughhouse" playing, and gum on absolutely everything. No teeth yet!!! They also have renewed interest in their activity mats as they try to pull up on the toys. They love PeekaBoo and still love to be held, carried, danced with, lots of love and kisses!!!!!!!

 

Well Schedule is something I aspire to. Thought I'd put our "schedule" into the hopper so that one day some other mother aspiring to a schedule will know she's not alone!

6:30AM -- Wake Up (can vary from 5:00AM to 7:00 AM depending on the constellation of moon and stars...)
Immediately BF and change each child
Play in exersaucer/jumperoo
Drink coffee (that's for me)
8:00 AM - eat -- strive for 3 jars (Earth's Best stage 2 size) split between the two
Change clothes into day clothes
8:30 AM - 9:00 AM -- Nap
--Nap lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
--Things get out of sync because they don't nap for the same lengths of time, despite going down within 20 minutes of each other usually.
--Then repeat the play-eat-nap scenario while keeping an eye on the wakefulness clock.
--Both kids get pretty tired at 2 hour mark so I put them back down for a nap. This may mean 4 naps in one day, depending on the duration of the nap.
5:00 EAT -- 3 jars split between two children -- homemade apples, pears, and sweet potatoes were tonight's offering
5:30 bathe
6:00 sleep
Wake up 2-4 times during the night (trying not to respond between 11P and 3A)

Everyday is a new adventure!

Sotto

Edited to add that I BF the children throughout the day, on demand. On rare occasion they get a bottle of EBF, usually when I am not at home.

 

Things are just starting to fall into place at our house, but it certainly isn't perfect! Here is what some days look like (and what I hope for EVERY day)!

7:00 - Wake for the day
7:15 - Fruits (two Stage 2 between them)
7:30 - Play time
9:00 - Bottles (7-8 ounces each)
9:15 - Nap time (1-2 hours)
10:00/11:00 - Play time
12:00 - Bottles (7-8 ounces)
12:00/1:00 - Nap time (1-2 hours)
2:00 - Play time
3:00 - Bottles (7-8 ounces)
4:00 - Nap time (short cat nap)
5:00 - Veggies (two Stage 2 between them)
5:15 - Play time (help mom make dinner in kitchen)
6:30 - Bath
7:00 - Bottle (7-8 ounces) and bed!

 

Here's what we try to do, TRY is the operative word!

0700 - wake up, nurse tandem
0800- solids, share a stage 2 fruit or veggie, or something I've mashed up
0900 - nap (nurse prior, but each on their own, the other is in the swing while I"m nursing one)
1000-1030 - wake up, sometimes nurse again, sometimes not
1030-1230, 1300- play, usually on the floor, read books, watch out the window
1230-1300 - go down for another nap (nurse again before)
1400-1430 -- wake up, play, go for a walk if we're feeling like it, errands, nurse
1700 - solids again, share a stage 2 or again something I've mashed
(there might be another nap between the second nap and solids, sometimes is, sometimes isn't, sometimes it needs to be while I'm driving around!)
1800-1900 - bath, play with Daddy, nurse, to bed not much later than 1900

Up two to three times at night to nurse (sometimes tandem, sometimes alone).

So, that's the ideal goal, doesn't always work, but that's what we aspire to..
