Sample Toddler Schedules: 1-3 Years Old

Are you looking for schedule ideas for your toddler? This post is FULL of sample schedules for toddlers age 12-36 months old!

Toddler happily looking into the distance

This post contains sample schedules for toddlers. These schedules were used by real Babywise babies.

When you have a baby, schedules change frequently. This is especially true before you are on a four-hour schedule.

Something I love about once you get to the four-hour schedule is that your schedule doesn’t change a lot after that.

Once your child reaches a year old, changes are even less frequent.

There are changes, but it isn’t weekly like it was in the young baby months and newborn days.

There are big changes ahead, like dropping to one nap a day, but you will find your schedule changes calm down.

Sample Toddler Schedules

I have listed the schedules of my children by month. These are the schedules we used from 1 year old until three years old.

For more details on ages, see The Pre-Toddler Summary Index (ages 12-18 Months) and the Toddler Summary Index (ages 18-36 Months).

12 Month Old Schedules

Your 12 month old should be eating 3-4 times a day, taking 2 naps, and sleeping 10-12 hours at night.

I still did 4 liquid feedings a day once my kids turned a year.

We weaned from the breast at a year, but neither Brayden nor Kaitlyn would drink more than 6 ounces per meal, and I knew they should have about 24 ounces of milk in a day.

>>>Read: Best Toys for PreToddler: 12-18 Months

Kaitlyn would sporadically drink 8 ounces at some meals, then less than 2 at others. She was less predictable in what she drank.

McKenna basically refused to drink milk. Schedules may not change often, but your toddler will still keep you on your toes! If you are in a similar situation, see What To Do When Your Child Hates Milk: Adding Dairy to the Diet.

BRAYDEN
7:15: Wake, drink milk, eat breakfast
9:30: nap
11:30: Wake, drink milk, eat lunch
2:00: nap
4:00: Wake, drink milk
8:00: drink milk, eat dinner
8:30: in bed

KAITLYN
7:30: Wake, drink milk, eat breakfast
Between: the time here includes bath, getting ready, and solo playtime each day. It also many times includes sibling playtime.
9:30: nap
11:30: wake, drink milk, eat lunch
Between: the time here includes free time and often sibling playtime. As the weather is getting nicer, we also spend a lot of time outside at this time.
1:30-1:45: nap
3:45-4:00: wake, drink milk
4:00ish: solo playtime
4:40: the activities for this time of day vary from day to day. We run errands at this time when needed. We to to the library. We will go on family walks. We will go outside and play. We have free time inside.
5:30: dinner. Kaitlyn is moving from Babyfood and pretty much only eats what we are eating.
7:00: drink milk and then I try to get some babyfood in her, though she usually only has a couple of bites. This is just my last effort to try to control the food going in directly 🙂 I feel this step phasing out. After food, she gets ready for bed and we read a story.
7:45: she is in bed.

MCKENNA
8:30 AM–wake, eat (prunes or peaches/apricots and oatmeal, milk, yogurt). This is when we do a bath (four days a week) and independent playtime. We then do sibling playtime.
10:30 AM–nap.
12:30 PM–wake, nurse, solids (green veggie and applesauce. Sometimes mix with blueberries or cherries. Milk. Finger foods–including cheese). She then “helps” me put Brayden in rest time (which just means telling him to go) and Kaitlyn down for her nap. We then do blanket time followed by free play with me in the same room.
2:30 PM–nap
4:30 PM–wake, milk, solids (yellow veggie and bananas or pears). Then time with Daddy.
5:30ish PM–dinner with family. Finger foods and what we are having. Then time with family.
7:15-7:30 PM–nurse, PJs, story, prayers, bed.

BRINLEY
8:45–nurse with solids (fruit, cereal, yogurt, finger foods). Independent Playtime happens in this block.10:30-11:00–nap starts
12:45-1:00–wake up, bottle with solids (veggie, fruit, other foods we are eating)
2:30-3:00–nap starts
5:00–wake up, bottle with solids (veggie, fruit, dinner)
7:30–bottle, then bedtime. In bed by 8:00-8:30.

13 Month Old Schedules

This month will continue as the previous. 3-4 feedings a day. 2 naps. 10-12 hours of sleep.

You might think your pre-toddler is ready to drop to one nap a day. Not quite! See this post for more on that: Dropping the Morning Nap Transition Time

MCKENNA
8:30 AM–wake, eat (prunes or peaches/apricots mixed with yogurt, oatmeal, milk). This is when we do a bath (four days a week) and independent playtime.
10:30 AM–nap.
12:30 PM–wake, lunch. She then “helps” me put Brayden in rest time (which just means telling him to go) and Kaitlyn down for her nap. We then do blanket time followed by free play with me in the same room and/or outside play.
2:30 PM–nap
4:30-5:00 PM–wake, milk, solids (yellow veggie and bananas or pears). Then time with Daddy.
5:30ish PM–dinner with family. Finger foods and what we are having. Then time with family, which is typically outside these days.
7:30 PM–PJs, story, prayers, bed.

14 Month Old Schedules

This is the age your pre-toddler might be able to drop to one nap a day, but not all kiddos are yet.

You are looking at 3-4 feedings a day, 1-2 naps a day, and 10-12 hours of sleep.

Between 12 and 14 months, Brayden moved away from eating baby food and more toward eating exactly what we were eating.

Around 14 months, the transition was basically complete and he was eating dinner with us.

I would try to get some baby food in him just because he seemed to eat more that way, but he was growing up and not that interested. I maintained the 4 milk feedings for the time being.

With Kaitlyn, she was done with babyfood all together closer to 13 months. This wasn’t surprising since she never really liked it anyway.

She also didn’t drink a solid 6 ounces at each meal. Some she drank more than others, and it wasn’t consistent from day to day which meals she would drink more.

Because of that, I offered her 8 ounces at each meal. Some she drank 8, some 2. I didn’t really worry about it.

15 Month Old Schedules

At 15 months old, your pre-toddler will have 3-4 feedings, 1-2 naps, and sleep 10-12 hours at night. You want to do more than just “make it through the day,” but rather have goals for doing more. See More Than Making it Through the Day: 15-18 Months.

16 Month Old Schedule

At 16 months old, your pre-toddler will have 3-4 feedings each day, 1-2 naps each day, and 10-12 hours at night. As toddlers drop to one nap a day, there is a chance night sleep will get longer.

17 Month Old Schedules

More and more pre-toddlers will be moving to one nap a day, though some will still have two. You will have 3-4 feedings a day. Most will be at 3 with a possible snack. You will have 10-12 hours of sleep at night, but again, you might have longer nights (13 hours or so) if your kiddo is at one nap a day and needs more sleep.

This is the age Brayden dropped his morning nap. He might have been ready earlier, but I waited until this age for two reasons.

Reason one is that I was in my first trimester with Kaitlyn until he was about 17 months and needed the extra break in the day.

Another is that the time change happened right after he hit 17 months. We dropped the nap the Saturday before the time change.

Brayden had always been able to handle a full dropping of a nap cold turkey. He took about a week to take a longer afternoon nap (instead of just 2 hours). Here is what the schedule was once he took the longer nap.

BRAYDEN
7:15: eat breakfast (milk included)
11:30: eat lunch (milk included)
1:00: nap
4:00: wake
5:30ish: Dinner (milk included)
7:00: drink milk (I would give him whatever milk he hadn’t had for the day to equal 24 ounces)
7:30: in bed

KAITLYN
Kaitlyn is now just 17 months old, and still takes 2 naps a day. She is getting closer to dropping that nap, but is not quite ready. Here is her schedule:

7:30: wake up and eat breakfast. This usually consists of milk, fruit, yogurt, and some dry cereal.
9:45: nap
11:30: wake up and eat lunch. This includes whatever Brayden and I are eating.
2:00: nap
4:00-4:30: wake up
5/5:30: dinner with the family. She eats whatever we are eating.
Random: a couple of days a week, she will ask for more milk between dinner and bedtime. I give it to her when she asks for it, but I no longer offer a 4th liquid feeding.
7:45: in bed

18 Month Old Schedules

Most toddlers will have dropped to one nap a day by now. Most will also be at three feedings with a possible snack. You will have 10-12 hours of sleep at night. If you are looking for toy ideas, see The Best Toys for 18 Month Olds.

3 Year Old Schedules

BRAYDEN
Brayden’s schedule has shifted a bit right around age three. I liked the kids to nap at the same time, so I usually let him stay up until Kaitlyn’s naptime.

I also started getting them up at the same time in the morning, and somehow got him to go to her schedule instead of her to his.

7:30: eat breakfast (milk included)
12:00: eat lunch (milk included)
1:45: nap
4:30-5:00: wake up
5:30: dinner (milk included)
8:00: in bed
