Up until recently DD 13 months has been in a pretty nice routine:
630 awake
730 breakfast
900 bottle and nap
1000 up and play
1230 lunch
130 bottle and nap
300 up and play
500 dinner
630 bath bottle bed
Sleeps through the night
A few weeks ago naps started to go a bit all over the place, taking forever to fall asleep, resisting afternoon nap all together.
We decided she might be ready to move to 1 nap, and therefore have been doing this for the last week.
So new routine is:
630-7 awake
730 breakfast
8-11 plays
1100 bottle and nap ( as she gets used to new routine we will push this closer to midday)
1230-1 up and plays ( she never ever sleeps longer than 1hr30 in her cot)
130 lunch
200-430out and about
430 dinner
600 bath bottle bed
Doesn't sleep through the night and is hungry at 430 so has a bottle.
Having a bottle a 430 then means she doesn't eat much breakfast, which has a knock on effect all day resulting in another night where she is hungry.
Due to her now only having 1 nap she is skipping a bottle which is where the problem is, but I don't know how to fix it. I offer her lots of food, but she's never been a great eater, hense why she still has 3 bottles a day. She can't really go back to 2 naps as that wasn't working either, so I am at a loss as to what to do. She's my first, so any advise from more experienced mum's appreciated!
