what's your routine?

[happygilmore]

I'm due to start blw in around 3 weeks or so, and am interested to hear others' routines for their DC. Have read the book and found it really useful, so looking forward to exploring food with my DD :)

With DD (7mo)

7am Wake up
8am Breakfast (maybe some mini shredded wheat or some toast)
10/11am Milk and nap
1.00/1.30pm Lunch (today was pitta, salad and falafel)
2pm Milk
5pm Tea (tonight it's steak and baby corn for DD and steak, corn on the cob and jacket potato for me and DH) then sometimes milk, however the 2pm and 5pm feeds are merging into one feed about 3.30pm
7pm Bath, bottle, bed
11pm Bottle
3am Bottle

All very rough timings, be prepared for the mess. I put an old curtain under DDs chair to catch the entiremeal dropped bits. Very good fun.

We are due to reach 6months in early Dec, and hope to start BLW just around the time that I go back to work, so will watch with interest so I know what to expect...! (And how much I will need to express!)

With DD (8 months):

7-7.30 ish - wake up, BF
8-8.30 ish - breakfast
9.30-11 ish - nap
11 ish - snack if she's awake and seems peckish
12ish - lunch
2-2.30 ish - BF
2.30 - 4ish - nap
4ish - snack if she's awake and seems peckish
5ish - tea
6.30 (the only one that's not "ish"!) - BF

Until a couple of days ago was also doing a BF at 11, have just dropped that one and she doesn't seem bothered.

But to start with it wasn't nearly so organised, have fun with BLW!

My DS (9 months) started sleeping much better in the day once he was on solids. Our routine is now...

7:30 wake up & milk
8:30 breakfast half a slice of toast
10:30 milk
10:45 nap
12:30 wake up
1:00 lunch
3:30 nap
4:15 wake up
4.30 milk
6.00 dinner
7.15 bath
7.45 milk
8.00 bed

The 2 daytime milk feeds are about 5oz and the morning and night ones are about 7oz.
