As we don't have one for our 8 month old ds and it can lead to feeds/meals being forgotten and then given late, missed (much needed) baths, unpredictable naps etc- general chaos which is usually ok as I'm home with him but now I work from home I actually have to get on and Do Something more than just hover over him, and I need some idea of where to start!

Knowledgable MN mummies, please tell me about your older babies routines, and help me to get organised.

dd1

wakes up about 10.30!
has coco pops for breakfast
disappears into bedroom till lunch
has sandwich
disappears into bedroom till tea
has warm milk drink and then goes to sleep about 1/2 10

she is still my 'older baby' but she is 14...so probably not much help here!
