Thank you everyone for all of your sample schedules! I have put them into the post. Thanks!
I have a question about milk and breakfast time. I am trying to sync my 12 month old with his older sisters who are in elementary school. We all wake at 6:30am. He nurses a hungry nurse (which I hope to make into an 8oz bottle or sippie of milk soon!) and then he's not ready or hungry for breakfast when the girls eat breakfast. Instead he gets hungry when we are taking the girls to school. The trip to and from school takes about an hour so when he gets hungry for breakfast that ends up being another nursing session as it's not easy to eat solids in the train (we live in the city).
I know with my other girls we did milk first then an hour later breakfast solids but does it work as well to switch that and do family breakfast then a bottle afterwards? That may seem like a really dumb question but I'm not sure how to fit everything in in the mornings and maybe i'm a little brain dead.
But I'm wondering which is more important, the breakfast foods or the milk?
Thank you so much for your help!
Becky
Becky, I think I would do breakfast and then milk. At 12 months, I actually gave it at basically the same time, so you could do that. I would probably do family breakfast, then bottle during the drive if it is close enough to breakfast time.
Help me Val! I've read every sample schedule I can get my hands on for a 1-nap baby, and we don't seem to fit any of them. My daughter is 13.5 months and 2 weeks ago dropped to 1 nap. I feel very sure she made this drop on her own and we're at 1 nap for good; there was no transition time or effort on my part; she just stopped sleeping at the 2nd nap (which had been about 4-5:30pm) cold turkey.
She goes to bed about 9pm, wakes around 8am (I know a late bedtime is frowned upon, but the late bedtime means a later waketime and since I'm pregnant with #2 and sleep best in the morning, I haven't wanted to push up bedtime and therefore waketime). She gets sleepy by 11:30 or 12pm most days, so I am for no later than a 12:30 start time to the nap; sometimes it begins as early as 11:30am. She usually only takes 10ish minutes to fall asleep, but raaaaarely makes it past 90 minutes of naptime (sometimes only 60 minutes). She then wakes up cranky and becomes woefully cranky around 5pm each day. Twice I've tried putting her down for a short 2nd nap to make it to the late bedtime to no avail. Today I left her for 2 hours after she woke to make sure she wasn't going to fall back to sleep- no luck. She simply won't nap a second time, so we're just stuck with a cranky baby all evening. Three times since starting a 1-nap routine has she had a 2.5+ hour nap, so I know she's capable, but those days weren't aberrant from the rest so I don't know why they were randomly good ones.
I know we haven't been doing 1 nap for all that long yet, but I feel certain she can't get by on just 1.5 hours of daytime sleep, right? And I'm going crazy. How on earth do I get a consistent 2+ hour nap? Do I stretch pre-nap wake time? Put her to bed super early (like 7:30? I don't see her making it to 8am with an early bedtime, and won't an earlier wake time require an earlier nap start time and perpetuate the need to go to bed earlier, then wake earlier, so we can never establish a schedule?) Do I just wait it out and pray that after another week or two she adjusts and takes a longer nap?
Sunk Costs,
So on a one nap schedule, you should have at least a two hour nap, but most will sleep around 3, some even four hours.
My guess is she needs to go down for her first nap a little earlier than she is going down and then still have another nap. Since sh is waking at 8, she should be able to make it until at least noon if she is really ready for a one nap a day thing.
Most babies her age who are ready for not always having a second nap do the one nap some days, two other days. It is a weaning process rather than a dropping.
At this point, if she isn't napping well still, I would look into an earlier nap with adding a second nap in, also. Good luck!
My daughter is almost 19 months old and has been on one nap for a while now. I can't get her to nap for more than 2 hours. She wakes up by 2:30 maybe 2:45 no matter what time I put her down so she can never make it to her bedtime of 7:30 without getting overtired. I need help tweaking her schedule. How do I get to a longer naptime?

We have adjusted to fit what works best with out LO. Obviously, every baby is different and may require more or less nap time then ours but this has worked wonders for us. He is up with us when we have to get ready for work and his schedule is perfect for our afternoon of getting home from work, cooking dinner and having quality time with him before we all go to bed for the night.
I swear by baby wise and have recommended it to all of my parent friends.

thetam, have you tried an earlier nap time?
Also, is there something happening at that time that could be waking baby up? A certain noise? The way the sun hits his room?
Sorry, "her" room
