Routine for 14 month old

[Slavetominidictator]

I currently co sleep and breast feed (to sleep) dd. She feeds through the night and hasn't learned to self settle yet, because I have always bfed her back to sleep. She is 14 months old and will start nursery for two days a week in a month's time.
She is also a poor eater, presumably because she stocks up on milk at night. None of this is how I planned it, of course, but she was not an easy baby, massive sleep fighter and I did what I could to survive the first year.....
I want to use the Jay Gordon night weaning method to start getting her to sleep through and then work on her going into her cot.
What I want to know is examples of your routines for a baby her age. What would be a reasonable daily schedule for a baby her age, including wake up times, amounts of milk, snack times, meal times, etc? I just want something to vaguely work towards.

Just need her to be able to be fed and helped to sleep at nursery.

Hmmm well mine will be completely different to yours as ds eats like a tank and was formula fed but here goes...

6am wakes up, 5oz full fat cows milk in a bottle (still loves his bottles)
7am breakfast - toast and jam or porridge
8.30/9 - nap of 1.5 hours in cot in the dark (only way he will sleep!)
10.40ish - snack usually fruit and a baby biscuit or something and water in a sippy cup.
Then we go out for a while usually.
12.30/1 lunch - usually omelette, beans and jacket potato and cheese or sandwich and pudding of some sort, water
1.30 - nap
2.30/3 ish wake up
4.30 dinner
5.15ish bath
6pm bedtime

He sleeps through. He will only sleep in his cot though so I have to be back home for naps etc!

Sorry meant to add he has another bottle of cows milk just before bed.

On a nursery day my 15mo ebf ds2 wakes about 7am, has a bf, then goes to nursery for 8am, has breakfast there, mid morning has snack and about 2oz of ebm, has lunch at 12, nap from 1-3 (hopefully!), tea & 2oz ebm at 4, supper at 6, evening bf at 6.30/7. Dream feed about 11pm, often wakes c2-3am for another bf.

On a non nursery day he wakes about 7am, has a bf, breakfast about 7.30/8ish, snack mid morning, lunch at 12, bf before nap at 1, sleeps 1-3ish, snack at 3.30, dinner at 5pm, evening bf about 6.30pm, dream feed about 11pm, often wakes c2-3am for another bf.

I really wish he'd drop the middle of the night feed but no luck so far

Hope that helps.

Mines was bf but stopped at 10 months. He does:
Wake 7ish
Breakfast porridge or weetabix with fruit and water
10-10:30 snack and drink of milk (maybe 100 ml)
12 lunch sandwich or eggs or toasted cheese and fruit water to drink
12:30 sleep 2-3 hours
Afternoon snack and milk when wakes up
Dinner 5 pm whatever is on the menu for the rest of us with water
7pm milk 200 ml
Bath story etc asleep by 8. Usually sleeps through.

7am-wake up, bottle cows milk.
8ish- breakfast- porridge or weetabix with fruit, then toast.
9-9.45- sleep in cot
12- lunch- sandwiches/soup/ pasta,veg,chicken. Or Left overs from our dinner night before. Then fruit.
1-3pm- nap in cot
3pm- drink if cows milk in beaker, snack; raisins/ cheese chunks/ rice cakes etc
5pm- tea- meat and veg type if meal. Then fruit and yogurt.
6.45- bottle of cows milk.
7pm - sleeps through till 7am

Mine dropped morning nap at about 15 ish months, she'll sometimes sleep longer in afternoon now; up to 2.5 hours. But then I wake her so she's tired for bed at 7.

Its probably worth asking your childcare provider what the routine will be like there and look at what time you will have to start your day, whether they provide breakfast etc.

Its probably worth talking to a BFC about daytime feeds and returning to work. She should be able to help you with a plan that will reduce your risk of mastitis and let Lo get used to the new way.

I unintentionally co-slept with bith of mine too. At around 14 months I moved them both into their own rooms, but continued to bf. thy both cut down dramatically once they were in their own rooms. Dd only ever fed for 10 mins anyway so I was happy to carry on for a while.

Not read Dr Jay Gordon but this is good too and if you want a book try this

Thanks so much for these replies. She is currently in the process of moving from two naps to one, so I try to let her have her one nap around 11 or 12. Unfortunately the nursery morning/afternoon transition is at1pm so that's when they get them to nap. So I don't think I can stretch it till 1 at the moment, ie try to mimic the nursery routine.

Jilted, thank you very much for the links. Afraid I've already tried those..... She is a v 'spirited' baby and although I've tried a gentle approach, I have a horrible feeling I'm going to need to be a bit tougher to stop her bfing and cosleeping.... Miserable. Ah well,just need to concentrate on positives for both of us. Thanks again for helpful reply.
