Routine for 8 month old

3 replies

shish · 12/02/2007 10:15

My ds will be 8 months old at the end of this week. I just wondered what routine others have. Mine at the moment is:

8ish - Wake
9am - Breakfast. Usually 1 weetabix with fruit and full fat milk
15-20 so mins later - 2oz milk
12.30pm - Lunch followed by fruit/ yoghurt
2.30pm - 4-5oz milk
5.45-6pm - Dinner followed by fruit
9.15ish - Bedtime milk - 6-7oz

Sometime has a small snack such as cheese or biscuit during the day.

Having said this his milk and food consumption has nearly haved over the last 6 days - We think he may be teething?? Can this put babies off sucking on the bottle??

8am wake and milk
9am breakfast
9.30am nap 30 mins
10am milk offered, sometimes has a bit, sometimes doesn't

11.30am lunch
12.30 pm nap 30mins-1hr

2pm milk and maybe snack

3pm another nap if tired 30mins

5pm tea

6pm last milk and bed

(plus milk in night if she wakes, usually no more than once, often not at all)

Yes absolutely teething will put them off milk and food I've found, my 8 mo now has 5 teeth and each time one has come through I have noticed a definite drop in appetite - mind you it has been combined this last 6 weeks with a variety of coughs & colds which I also don't think helps! A tummy full of not can be very filling!

Anyway my DS routine (when he is with me 3 days a week and not with CM or GP's) is:

6am wake 7ox bottle then straight back down until 7am
7.30am breakfast usually mnashed fruit or weetabix or scrambled egg
9am nap for 1 hour to 1 and a half hours
10am 7 oz bottle
12 noon - lunch plus water
12.30 - nap - up to 2 hrs, but usually one and a half
2pm 7oz bottle offered but he is cutting right back on this one, usually takes only 3oz plus a snack
5pm tea plus water
6pm bath, 7oz bottle and bed

Sleeps solidly all night for 12-13 hrs
