Routine at 6 months

3 replies

My DS2 is just turning 6 months and is starting to settle into s couple of bits of routine, but it's all still a bit all over the place. I don't really mind that but I can't really remember how his routine was at first... anyone able to share their routine to help me work out what we should be aiming towards.

Thanks!

DD has only just turned 8 months and I'd like to think we're in a routine.

7am - wake up and have a 8oz bottle
8am - have some breakfast (blw)
10am - nap
11am - have a 6oz bottle
12pm - have some lunch (blw)
1pm - nap
3pm - have a 6oz bottle
5pm - have some tea (blw)
6pm - bath
7pm - have a 8oz bottle, cuddle and bedtime.

We do a lot of play times between naps, bottles and meals. If we go out then this changes, but she still usually has 3 naps and 4 bottles a day.

At six months DD was starting to transition from 3 to 2 naps, so routine could be a bit messy. She could stay awake for 2-3 hours.

She was a cat napper so naps were often only 30-45 mins; this got better when she cut to two naps - one of them would be about 1.5 hours then.

On a good day:

7am wake up, bottle
8am breakfast
9am nap (sometimes on the go if we were going to a baby class)
11am bottle
12 lunch
After lunch: nap
3pm bottle
4pm third nap (on its way out)
5pm tea
6.15 bath
7pm bottle and bed

Great, thanks. I was trying to remember what DS1 did at 6 months ish but couldn't remember, so that's really helpful. Thank you!
