6-9 month old - routine

[jomaIone]

Hello parents! I am interested in what your babies are up to day to day. Not for any particular reason other than being a bit nosey and like to compare!! I'll start.

I have an almost 8 month old breastfed baby girl.

0600-0700 Wakes and has a feed.
0700-0800 Play
0800-0900 Breakfast
0900-1000 Nap
1000-1100 Up & dressed for the day
1100 -1200 Feed and lunch
1200-1300 Play time
1300-1400 Nap
1400-1700 Usually out and about, at a baby group, shopping, park etc

Will have another feed and a short nap either in her buggy or on me around 1600

1630-1700
Dinner
1700-1800 Feed and play, wind down
1800-1900
Start bedtime routine depending on last nap time
1930 Bed at the latest.

Usually wakes 2-3 times in the night but can often go 6-7 hours in between wakes. Needs white noise and fed to sleep for all sleeps!! Is rubbish at eating solids, will have a couple of spoons of purees but good at finger foods. Loves water from her sippy cup but won't take formula.

Would love to hear about all your babies!!

My baby is moths and sounds quite similar routine wise. In a weird way I’m glad your weaning sounds as hit and miss as mine and he certainly won’t entertain formula or a bottle at all!
Sleep during the day is very hit and miss for us and depends very much on what we’re doing. If we’re walking the dog he’ll nap in the pushchair but if we’re home then there’s no chance!

7 months not moths!!! No idea what my phone is doing!!

Honestly my dd is 7 months and I'm impressed your day is so structured!
She wakes up anywhere from 7 to half 8. If we're staying home for the day she has breakfast as soon as I've sorted it then goes for a nap an hour to two hours from when she wakes up usually for about an hour. Then she has lunch. Then two hours after that she goes down again for about two hours and then plays until bath and bed at half 6...

If I want to go out mid afternoon I just extend her play time for an your so she sleeps longer before we go out. Or if I'm out in the morning she misses her morning nap and goes down in the afternoon for two hours.

The only consistent thing is bed time we just sort of take the day as it comes.
We're Baby led weaning so only started solids a couple weeks ago so she just has breakfast and lunch. She's just coming out of a regression I hope so waking about 4 times a night and breastfeeding back to sleep.

Mine is quite similar to yours. I have a 7 month old breastfed baby.

6.30 - wakes and I feed him in bed to buy an extra bit of sleep
7.30-8.30 - play with his dad
8.30 - breakfast
9-10 - stories then nap (fed to sleep in my arms)
10-12 - play
12 - lunch
12.30 - into pram and will usually nap on a walk for 1-1.5 hrs
3 - feed then play, probably another short feed at 4.30ish
5.30 - dinner
6.30 - bedtime routine, stories, bath and feed to sleep at around 7

His sleep is really variable but generally bad. Still waking every 2-3 hrs at night for feeds. Have tried very gentle sleep training (putting him in cot awake and staying with him) but he gets hysterical so stopping that now.

Doing BLW and he loves his food - 3 big meals a day.
