Lizzie’s Schedule: 8 months

When Lizzie was first born I was searching high and low for example schedules for our day. I crave routine and those first few months were so hard for me to have unpredictable eating times, nap times and play times! Truthfully, we didn’t get a solid routine down in the day until about 6 or 7 months. Partly because we were moving, and lived with my parents for a couple months!

This is our rough schedule for Lizzie as she turned 8 months today - I’m sure this will change right as we nail this one haha. Don’t compare if your baby doesn’t have this schedule, this is what works for us right now! I am not perfect at the solids game - in fact, I forget to feed her solids more often than not. I don’t put pressure on myself because I know she is getting plenty of nutrients from breastmilk. And her naps sometimes start earlier, sometimes later depending the day - again this is just a rough schedule for you to model if you are needing some guidance!

Wake: 7/7:30AM

Milk: 7:30AM

Solids: 8:30/9AM

Nap 1: 9/9:30AM

Wake and Milk: 10:30/11AM

Solids: 12:30PM

Nap 2: 1:00/1:30PM

Wake and Milk: 2/2:30PM

Nap 3 (optional): 4/4:30PM

Solids 5:30PM

Bedtime and Milk: 6/6:30PM

Sometimes Lizzie only has 2 naps a day, and others she has 3. It just depends on her wake times that day and how long her naps are! So I like to call that 3rd nap a flex nap :)

Hope this helps!
