9 Month Schedule

Babies schedules change about every three months- 0-3 (sleep, eat, poop), 3-6 (4 naps), 6-9 (3 naps), and now 9-12 we are down to two naps. I thought I would share our 9 month schedule, although I wish it was a little different, it works.

My sweet boy!! Attacking the camera (probably at 5am :) )

5:00am 

Jackson is awake GRR. He has to stay in his crib until 6... we are trying to get him to sleep until 6. And no he isn't hungry at 5 trust me. Half the time he isn't hungry at 6.

6:00am

Eat Breakfast

1/4 waffle (dairy, soy, egg free), fruit, and 6 oz formula

6:30-8:00am

Play, crawl around the house or play in the pack n play while we get ready for work

8:00ish

Nap. 

I have tried to push this to 9 but it just doesn't work. He starts melting down at 8.

9:30 

He is up! Time to play

10:00 

Eat Lunch

1 slice of turkey lunch meat (organic no soy), fruit, veggie, 6 oz milk

10:30-12:30ish

Play, Swim Lessons or My Gym, Running Errands

12:30ish

Nap.

Again we have tried to push this back but it just depends on the day. By 1:00 he is usually in melt down mode. Sleeps for 30 minutes to 1 hour and a half

2:00

Snack

"Smoothie" Puree fruit in a pouch, teething biscuit, 6 oz formula

2:30-5:00

Play time, go for a walk, go to the park, run errands, etc.

5:00 

Dinner

Puree chicken, sweet potatoes, rice, fruit, water

6:00 

Bottle 6 oz milk and start the bedtime routine (bath, story, lights out, insert crying)

6:30-7ish

Bed time 

And NO if we push bedtime later he does NOT sleep later. Actually we figured if he gets in bed by 6:30 he usually sleeps the best. The ped said he should be sleeping 12 hours!!!! Ugh. Maybe when he's 16?

Ideally I would like him to wake at 6, nap at 9 and 1 but it is what it is. Besides the 5am wakeup call it's been working really well. I have attempted to take pictures as a "day in the life post" but I always forget! hahaha I'm not quite sure how people do it. I get in our routine and poof the thought it gone.
