    Who Has A 9-11 Month Old Baby Of Their Own?

    I usually do not pay much attention to what kind of schedule or routine parents have at home unless it works DIRECTLY against their time here (or the other way around) but I am wondering if any mommies can tell me, what is a normal food/sleep routine for a baby that age throughout the evening from say about 5:30 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. the next morning?

    What do they generally eat for dinner? Last feeding of the night? How many times per night do they wake up to be fed? If at all? What time do they get up in the morning? What do they eat for breakfast and when?

    I know that not everyone is the same but I am hoping that I can get a general idea if enough mommies with 9-11 month olds reply

    My son is 15 months. At that age (and same for now) he was in bed by 7pm . At 5 he was either waking grom his third nap or atarting dinner close to 6pm . We did baby led solids/weaning, breast&bottle fed, and used On Becoming Babywise. He is a great sleeper and eater and generally well rounded , with a tiny bit of spoiling since mommy is home with him all day and he has 3 much older school aged siblings that dote on him :-) .

    He is also used to being in s group setting aince I started back with childcare when he was 3.5 months . Right now I have a 15month, 16month , and 9.5 month old . I porposely sought out other dckids xlose to his age with the long term plan that when they are all older I will teach them pre-school together and do circle time, etc... if any of them are still with me after age 3 . Oh and the 9.5 month old is on two naps here at my house. I give him breakfast &lunch in addition to his bottles every 3-4 hours. He drinks 6-7ounces.
    When My son was that age he also drank 6-7oz from a bottle or the breast.

    Oops forgot to include hos schedule at that age.
    Up till around 12 months he did wake 1-2x fr MOTN nursing and I allowed it because I wanted to maintane my milk supply and also felt he deserved that extra time with me since he had to share me dring normal waking hours. He has since slept through the night.

    Wake: 6-7am nurse,
    breakfast 8am
    NAP 9/9:30-10:30/11:00
    11:00 nurse,
    11:30 lunch
    12:00-1 free play
    NAP 1:00/1:30- 3:/3:30
    3:30 snack /bottle
    5-6pm dinner
    6:30/7pm bath
    In bed by 7:30
    (All Feeding times/nursings nt included above. )
    Now that he is 15 months he is able to do 2 one hour naps at the same times or 1 long single nap. He is transitioning to ONE afternoon nap and on some days will be unable to sleep at all at 1/2pm if he has a morning nap. My 15&16 month
    Child are toddlers are going through the same thing with naps. So I'm slowly transitioning them all to do a 11:30/12:00-3 long mid day nap by the time they are 18-20 months.

      Also wanted to add:

      Between 10-12 months my son was eating everything we eat . We did baby led weaning starting at 6months. He got fresh and cooked fruits&veggies and moved on to more solid foods after that. I dont believe in feeding purees only from the start. But I do it with the child care babies if the parents want me to. I dont require BLW for my clients be ause as a parent I understand how sensitive moms are about how their kids are fed.

      Also I did elimination communication with my son , cloth diapering and he is still breast fed. It is extremely difficult to do the alternative parenting styles with caring for 2 other full time babies. I have to make time to pump during nap time and/or outsde my working hours now, to maintain my milk supply since he is sleeping through thr night (and eats regular foods so well) and Im just too tired to get up at night after working all day .

        My son is about 10.5 months.

        By 5:30 pm both of his naps should be out of the way. It's pretty much just play time until dinner. He's been walking since about 9 months, so he plays...and plays...and plays...and gets out toys...and makes big messes

        He eats dinner around 8:30 pm. He used to eat a jar of stage 2 baby food (either a fruit or a veggie, depending on what he had for lunch) mixed with rice cereal, but now he pretty much just eats table food.

        He has a 4 oz bottle of formula after he eats & goes to bed between 9-10 pm. He gets a bath every other night before bed.

        He almost always sleeps thru the night. He may wake up & fuss once or twice but I do not go in his room & get him. Once his music box comes on, he usually soothes himself back to sleep.

        He generally gets up at 7:30 am & is ready for a nap at 10:30 am.

        And then we start all over...eat, play, poop, sleep, eat, play, poop, etc. ::

          I have 9mo of my own. It is 4:45, and he is drinking a 7 oz bottle. He will eat dinner with us about 6-6:30. It is normally a Stage two jar of baby food mixed with cereal. He will have another bottle right before bed around 9. He will wake up about midnight for a 7 oz. bottle. He will wake around 6a.m. for a bottle. At 8:30, he will have a stage two jar of baby food mixed with cereal, and about 4 oz bottle.

          That is pretty much whathappens every day between 4:30 pm - 8:30 a.m.
