Routine for an 7-8 Month old

Would anyone care to share their little ones routine. I'm planning a holiday for a few months time and would like to know what sort of routine I'd need to arrange around. Thanks

Hiya, mine is 9 months but pretty similar as his awake times are still the same.

07:00: get up, get toddler up, chill in bed as a family for 10-15 minutes. Get everyone up and dressed including ourselves.

07:45/08:00: breakfast

08:30: independent play if possible
09:15: get milk ready, rooms ready, 2 books, milk & first nap at 09:30 for about 1h15.

10:30, wake up and we then usually go out for 1.5h.

12:00: make lunch/ have lunch.

13:15: same nap routine and nap for about 1.5-2h hours.

3pm wake, snack for toddler & snack for baby // just some fruit / meaty puffs etc

Play time after until at about 5pm, then it's dinner time but his dad takes over for me to have half an hour to myself.

Bath time starts at about 06:15 - my babe is really tired by then but he needs to be stretched as too old for 3 naps/ wouldn't even entertain the idea of going down.

We go to to singing Monday and Friday mornings? Toddler goes to nursery 3x a week. I have quite a few mum friends so when the weather isn't good, we go to each other's houses in the morning or the afternoons quite a bit. The weather hasn't been great but can imagine that once it gets warmer we go out in the afternoon again.

I hope this helps.

My LOs routine went totally out of the window with weaning + moving into their own room at 6-7months, but at 7.5months, it broadly looks like this:

07.30/08.00 Wake up, BF, get DD dressed
09.00 Breakfast
09.30 Playtime or in bouncer/jumperoo whilst i get ready
10.00 Nap
11.00 Bottle feed
11.30-13.00 Playtime, walk, baby groups, errands etc
13.00 Nap
14.00 Lunch (am planning on swapping this and the 11.00 bottle soon as she is starting nursery in April and lunch there is at 11.30)
14.30-16.00 Playtime, baby classes etc
16.00 Nap (awake by 5pm latest)
17.30 Tea
18.15 Bath, into PJs, story, quiet play,
18.45ish Bedtime bottle
19.00-19.30 Bed
22.00ish Usually wakes for a bottle. Mostly then sleeps through although the last couple of weeks she has been a challenge at night 😴😴😴

But those times can go up to an hour either way depending on how she has been in the night or if she has a longer nap etc.
