Correct routine for a 9mo, anyone?

[rr16]

Can anyone please tell me basic outlines of a routine for me to follow with my 9mo ds.

What times should I feed him a meal and when to give him his bottle.

It seems my timing is all wrong for meal times and he either doesn't want to eat / drink his bottle!!!

Really appreciate any help

I don't really understand the question.

My DD2 is 9 months old. I feed her when she wakes up, then give her some porridge.

She naps for a couple of hours after her lunch and gets tired BY 12.30 (as in, she will be lying on her tray if it gets much past 12.20 and she's not in bed), so I try to give her her lunch around quarter to.

Then I give her a bottle when she wakes up from her nap.

Then I give her her dinner around 5pm. That is just when she and DD1 have their dinner. Seems a good time, since we're normally home by then and also early enough before bathtime.

My DD is 9mths and a few weeks ago was a total nightmare in terms of getting her to take her bottle, or food unless it was super smooth and ideally sweet, but I now put that down to teething rather than routine as she is now back to normal, so it could be that?

Anyway, here's our routine if it's any use:

7.00 - wake, followed by cuddle in our bed, then nappy change
7.30 ish - bottle (180ml)
8.00 ish - readybrek with fruit followed by toast
9.15ish - nap (anywhere between 20mins and 1hr!)
10.30ish - snack (have just postd a Q in waning section about this as I haven't got it right!!)
11.45ish - lunch (eg. chicken casserole followed by fruit and yogurt)
12.15 - nap (anywhere from 1-2hrs)
2.45ish - milk (180ml)
4.30ish - nap in buggy (no more than 20mins)
5.15ish - dinner (veg puree)
6.20ish - bath
6.30ish - milk (240ml), then story
7.00 - bed

I need to check typos before I post - I mean I posted a Q in the weaning section, not waning!

I don't think there is a "correct routine" for a 9mo

There might be a correct routine for the parent but imo lo's just want to have their needs met when they occur.

That is the order they seek...when they are hungry there is milk, when they want to play there are toys, when they want comfor there are arms...etc etc

For some this may fall in to a pattern. For others not. And this will change with time/teething/development etc

My almost 9mo has a similar routine to lisba. Except no morning snack and no third nap.

7am bottle
9am breakfast
9.30 nap (1.5 to 2 hours)
12 lunch
2ish bottle
2ish Nap (2 hours)
5 tea
7 Bottle and bed
