Share your daily eat/sleep schedule

[fryjack2]

I'm trying to get the boys on a more consistent schedule. Right now, other than naps, I kind of wing it. The day looks somewhat like this:

Between 6-6:30 wake up with a nursing session after diaper change
7:30- they share a banana or 4 ounces of apples or some other fruit
8:30- 5-7 ounces of increased cal formula
9- nap for an hour. well, attempt at an hour. usually its 30-45 minutes
10:30-snack of a couple ounces of veggies
11:30ish- another 5-7 ounces of formula
12:30- lunch of a couple ounces of beans, a couple ounces of veggies
2pm- nap for an hour if im lucky.
3pm- nursing session
4:30- whatever they will have from a 5 ounce bottle
6- dinner of 4-8 ounces of veggies and fruit
7:30- nurse to sleep and whatever they take from a 5 ounce bottle.

I try to alternate food and formula every 2 hours. They have been really crabby lately, so I'm not sure if I'm under feeding them ( although they rarely eat more than 5 ounces at a time) or if its teething. What does your day look like?

This will slightly vary each day. Like, some mornings after he wakes up and has his medicines he will go back down for an hour (he will nurse at this point too). It just depends on his mood. There is also sometimes a 3rd nap between 4 and 6pm. Oh and he doesn't STTN and nurses on average 3 times a night.

gosh some babies get a lot of sleep. In bed 12-13 hours and still taking 1-2 hour naps twice a day?!!

DS still wakes up 4:30 or 5:30 a.m. for a feeding. I EBF and shoot for two solids meals a day, three on a good day. He's not into solids at all, so he doesn't ingest much of what I offer. I work two days and he takes two 4 oz bottles of BM and two solids meals while I'm gone.

~4:30 a.m. nurse
6 or 7 a.m. up for day
7:30 am nurse, fruit and oatmeal
9 am nap
10:30 am nurse
Noon lunch (fruit or veggie
1 pm nurse then nap
4 pm nurse
5:30 dinner (veggie)
7 pm nurse then bed

Well if you're talking about C specifically it isn't a fair comparison considering he's on medicines meant to somewhat sedate him.

Alsoooo the little boy I used to nanny STTN 13ish hours and would take about 3-4 hours worth of naps a day. He was fine, just a good sleeper.
