12 Month old schedules

[mummyintheunknown]

Anyone care to share their 12 month old schedules and if you changed anything in the toddler years?

My DD routine goes like this, has remained unchanged since 10.5months...
Have no idea if it's good or not.. would like more time in the evenings with Hubby but hey!

Up 8.30/9am
Breastfeed
10 breakfast
Playtime
10.30/11 milk/snack
Lunch
12.30/1 Nap - varies between 90 mins to 2 hours
Playtime/ songs

5.30/6 dinner
630/7 bath
Books wind down
Bedtime routine 8
Bed 8.30/9

Up anytime from 5am to 6:30am
Milk on waking
Breakfast 8am
Nap 9am till 10am

Dinner between 11:30 - 12pm

My DS will be 12 months in a few weeks.

So 2 naps?

Do you go on babies cues or do you feed to sleep?

At 12 months I had a routine of:

7am wake if not already awake
Breakfast
School run (I have 3 older children)
9am milk feed then cot nap (with dummy)
11am wake if not already awake
12pm lunch
1pm milk feed then cot nap (with dummy)
3pm wake if not already awake
School run
5.30pm family dinner
8pm milk then bed - by 12m had recently started sleeping through

if you changed anything in the toddler years?

We kept two naps until about 20-22 months old, it gradually changed from 9-11 and 1-3 to 9-10.30 and 1-3, then 9.15-10 (woken up) and 12-3pm. Then initially one nap days were 11am to 2 or 3pm. Then eventually by 22 months old it settled on:

7am woken if not already awake
Breakfast
School run
Play group or whatever
11am dinner
12pm cot nap (with dummy)
3pm woken if not already awake
Milk/snack upon waking
School run
5.30pm dinner
7-8pm bed (depending on how tired)

Gradually this changed to 1pm-3pm nap. Then 1pm-2.30pm, then 1pm-2pm. Nap dropped completely between 4y3m and 4y6m, ready for starting full time school. DD is currently 4y10m.

Forgot this bit:

would like more time in the evenings with Hubby but hey!

Haha. Welcome to parenthood.

Imagine a world where (my typical Wednesday evening, no significant differences to any other evening)...

5.30pm family meal so that..
6pm - 7pm Dad can take DS9 to football training. Meanwhile...
6.45pm - Mum drops DD15 at football training, talking DD4 in the car
7.15pm - Dad takes DS13 to Scouts, while Mum does DD4 reading and bedtime and gets DS9 in shower/bath
8pm - Mum picks DD15 up from football and deposits at swimming training while Dad manages DS9 reading and bedtime.
9.30pm - Mum or Dad (whoever had the motivation) brings DD15 home from swimming, swinging by Scouts on the way to pick DS13 up.
9.40pm - toast for the ever-hungry teenagers
10pm - teenagers in bed
10.30pm - doorway check to ensure lights off and phones out of bedrooms.

Yeah.

Enjoy these toddler years with 8pm/9pm bedtime and no evening activities to manage. It's only a fleeting period of time you get that luxury.

Yeah i just go on his tired cues. But he's always ready by 9am for his nap but I'm guessing this will change soon when he drops it. Iv not fed to sleep since he was about 5 months he just stopped this by him self. He likes to be cuddled/rocked to sleep though.
