10 month old DD is not really in a formal routine (well, one that works). Day starts with breastfeed in our bed, anytime from 6.30 to 7.30 for 40 minutes, sometimes more, after which I get her up for the day. Breakfast at nine. She will nap anytime from 11am to 2.30 pm, for anything from 35 ? 90 minutes!! She sometimes she need a nap and its lunch time, recipe for disaster. Do I need to be more structured? A friend has suggested regular nap times at the same time each day. I have no idea when this ought to be as I only try to put her down if she shows signs of tiredness (ie., after she has rubbed her eyes a few times, then I change her nappy and get her upstairs for a short story) Will this work? Even now when I try and put her down for a nap, she cries and I know she is tired as she is rubbing her eyes! Please, where do I start, what is a reasonable waking / feeding / sleeping routine for a ten month old? (soon to be with childminder two days a week!!) Thanks for listening!
