Read more about this in the Importance of Exercise and Stimulation for Sleep.ĭiscipline Foundations for Your Baby INDEPENDENT PLAYTIME Up until this point, the world was stimulating enough just as it was, but by this point, your baby knows the world around her quite well and she needs to have things mixed up some. When the brain is mentally tired, it needs sleep to recover and to process what was learned.ĩ-10 month olds need older, more mature toys. When the body is physically tired, it needs sleep to recover. For most babies in this age range, increasing physical and mental stimulation gets baby sleeping well again. See the Cornerstone for Good Naps for a handy chart that will tell you the range for waketime length for all ages.īefore you try different waketime lengths, I highly recommend you try to increase your exercise and/or stimulation levels. Your average 10-12 month old will have 120-180 minutes of waketime length. Your typical 8-9 month old will have 120-150 minutes of waketime length. You might need to shorten a nap and/or extend waketime length. If your baby hits this regression, it does not mean it is time to drop to one nap. There is a sleep regression for many babies around ten months old. Most babies will be at two naps a day, though some will still have that short third nap.
Keep the same feeding principles you established way back in the newborn months. A 9 month old can go 3-4 hours between feedings.
#6 MONTH OLD DAILY ROUTINE FULL#
Just like full feedings were important for a newborn, they are important for a 9 month old. If you are feeding your baby a liquid feeding and then 1-2 hours later doing a solid feeding, you are feeding your 9 month old more often than you fed your newborn. Keep in mind that the solid foods should come right after your liquid feeding. A logical place would be after the afternoon nap to hold baby over so baby can eat dinner with the family. You might have a snack at some point in the day. Two of my kids did third and two did fourth. Pick the one that works best with your schedule. Breakfast should be your first feeding and lunch should be your second feeding.ĭinner can be either your third feeding or your fourth. This will be a breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Your baby should be having solid foods three times a day by this age. If you are formula feeding or pumping and feeding through a bottle, your baby might be able to do three liquid feedings a day. If you are breastfeeding, I highly recommend you stick with four liquid feedings a day, also. I stick with 4 until beyond one year old. Some people go to 3 liquid feedings a day.
