My LG is still not in a routine despite my efforts and she is 8mo. I have recently returned to work so am desperate to get her into a good routine especially as my older child starts school in sept. The main issue is she will only nap for 30 min at a time & still wakes up twice at night for feeds. She also wakes quite early but I don't mind that too much as I'm usually up with my older child at a similar time as he has always been an early riser too. I really want to get her into a good routine that benefits and fits around us as a family. Ideal routine would be
6.30 wake and bottle
7.30 breakfast
9am nap 2 hours
11am bottle
12.30 lunch
1.45 nap 1 hour
3pm bottle (school pick up)
5pm dinner
6pm bath
6.30 bottle and bed
Is this realistic? She seems to be wanting a nap sooner than 9am but I have to leave the house for school/work at 8.15 so unless she sleeps in the car for 30 mins this time just isn't ideal. Would I be better off trying to get her to bed later / hence a later wake up? But also need her to nap before I leave for school pick up at 2.45😩 how do I work around this please help
