Routine for 1 year old

[Chans11]

Hi, just seeing if people can share their routines with a 1 year old, we have a wake up of 6am usually and first nap between 9-10am but everything else is just all over the place. Thinking I need to start having more of a strict routine in place but also hard as in nursery 2/3 times a week aswel!

thanks

While mine were doing two naps I used the 2/3/4 schedule (2 hours awake time, sleep, 3 hours awake, sleep, 4 hours awake, bed) but by 1 I think they were only having one nap after lunch most days.

If they’re at nursery I’d find out the usual nursery schedule and then see if you can follow something similar in terms of sleep and meal times.
I also found that we were all happier if we had a plan and went somewhere each morning, or it would be 10:30 and no one dressed, then once everyone is dressed it’s practically lunchtime then nap time then in winter it’s dark. It wasn’t always a big thing, library, or park, maybe a toddler class once a week then pop to the shop on the way home etc.
