This post gives sample schedule Babywise schedules for the seventh month. The seventh month of baby’s life comprises weeks 27-31. Baby is six months old moving to 7 months old. These are Babywise 6 and 7 Month Old Sample Schedules.

Babywise Baby Seven Month Overview

During the seventh month, you can aim for and expect the following:

Baby will likely be ready to start solid foods. Consult with your doctor.
Baby will have 2-3 naps per day. Baby might be ready to move to two naps. Some are not ready for two naps until older. Average age for moving to two naps is 8 months.
Have 4-5 liquid feedings in a day. This is in addition to the solid foods.
Naps will be 1.5-2.5 hours each. The third nap can be short (about 45 minutes).
Baby should sleep 10-12 hours at night. Sleep might be solid or it might include a dreamfeed.
Independent play will be 15-30 minutes in length once baby can sit independently.
Discipline will be needed if it hasn’t been already. Discipline means to guide and correct, not to hurt.

6 month old boy

We have *just* transitioned from 5 meals/day to 4, dropping the early morning meal before I leave for work. Now I pump there instead. I sought Val’s advice a few months ago before my transition back to work, and she was spot on. That early morning “dreamfeed” starting affecting his naps a week before he turned 6 months. She’s a BW genius 😉

My sister nannies for us, so the activities vary, but this is the report I usually get when I call home while pumping. Naps and meals are very regular.

5:30 mom pumps
7:30-8 wake, play in crib if up before 8
8:00 Bottle (breast milk)
8:30 Mat time/tummy time/practice sitting up
9:00 Nap #1
12:00 Bottle (usually formula)

1:00 formula bottle

2:30/2:45 nap
4:00 bm bottle -sometimes mixed with 2oz of formula
4:20 play in playroom, practice sitting – 5:30 daddy comes home and we either all go for a run or Daddy takes them while I stay home to pump, do laundry, wash bottles and have some “me” time.
7:00 6.5/7.5 oz bottles, just started baby food (sweet potatoes, green beans, and carrots)
then we have bath, songs/stories
7:45/8 Bed
10pm I pump and then wake up again at 3am to pump.

I’m really trying to keep up with them as much as I can. we have also been playing with the four hour schedule. The above schedule is if I manipulate it. Sometimes they go a little over. Tonight we gave them a bottle at 4:15, then green beans at 6 then a four oz. bottle at 6:30 then Bed. I feel like I run out of wake time activities. I just got babywise II and see that I need to do Independent play. We set up our pack and play this weekend so I plan to start using it tomorrow 🙂

6 month old girl

My daughter is 6 months old, on a 3 1/2 hour schedule, and NOT a big eater at all! She could easily go 4 hours without eating and be totally fine, but I’m not sure I can lengthen her awake time or naps at this point in time. When I say she is not a big eater, at some meals she only eats 3-4oz and is perfectly happy until her next feeding! I tried introducing rice cereal last week. On the first day, she willingly opened her mouth it eat it and she hasn’t eaten it/opened her mouth since. I’ve decided to take a break for a few days with the solids and will start back with green veggies next week! Her schedule now is:

6:30-7:00am – eat 6.5 oz
7:00-8:30am – play
8:30-10:00am – sleep
10:00-10:30am – eat 6 oz
10:30-12:00pm – play
12:00-1:30pm – sleep

4-6 months

Since 4 months (he will be 6 months this week) we have been working on transitioning to 3.5-hour schedule. After a few days of the longer schedule, he wakes up early from naps and we end up doing the 3-hour schedule above, so for the last little while we’ve just done the longer schedule 2-3 days a week which allows me to decide which days rather than him. Hopefully we’ll do this all the time soon!6am Nurse, then some playtime
7:15 Nap
9:30 Nurse, tummy time, playtime
11:00 Nap
1:00pm Nurse, tummy time, playtime (or errands)
2:30 Nap
4:30 Nurse, play time, family time
6:00 (sometimes a little later) Nap
(Sometimes he doesn’t take the 4th nap, but most of the time he needs it.)
7:30 Nurse
Bedtime routine
Bed by 8:15At nearly 6 months old, his waketimes are still 90 minutes and he still needs 4 naps. Most of the time his nighttime sleep is only 9 hours and I would like to move to 10 hours, but so far that hasn’t happened.
