Just that really, began weaning a few weeks ago and want to start a good routine with my DS. He’s in his own routine as such that he will sleep every 2 hours and bottle every 3/4hours. But the time’s of the day just depends on when he wakes up.

What times does he wake usually? Could you pick a time and try to wake him if he sleeps past that time?

Usually wakes up at 6-630am has a bottle then goes back to sleep till around 8-830am. Will then have his breakfast and back down for a nap by 10-1030am
However the last two mornings he has been waking at 530 and having a bottle then going back to sleep till 730am and having his breakfast then.
I’ve always just followed his lead x

Tbh, you can decide on any routine you like, and give it a whole bunch of thought and effort and consideration, plan your whole day round it, and i bet you anything you like you'll just end up doing whatever your baby wants to do anyway. That, or you'll stick to your routine and have a miserable day with a baby who is hungry or tired and whinging nonstop.

Mine are the same I just follow baby , she eats when she’s hungry and sleeps when she’s tired but I know her signs and put her into cot when she’s ready. Iv just started weaning also , my day sounds very similar to yours really x

At 7 months my DD’s routine was:-

6/6:30: woke
7: bottle
8: breakfast
9/9:30: nap
11: bottle
12: lunch
1/1:30: nap
3: bottle
4/4:30: dinner (she used to have a catnap here but dropped it so I introduced dinner at almost 8 months)
6-7: bath, bottle & bed

It wasn’t always 100% set in stone as she doesn’t wake at a consistent time but I started trying to delay her first bottle until 7 (as she wasn’t crying for it) and she started sleeping a little later (used to wake at 5/5:30).

If your baby seems happy then I’d just continue to follow his lead. Smile
