![]() Many things about the schedule were the same. I was able to be less involved during sibling playtime, but I still didn’t leave them alone together. She never ate enough to negatively affect her appetite for her dinner. When she did drop that third nap, I bathed the kids together in the morning after Kaitlyn finished breakfast.Īlso, we had her sit in her highchair with us at dinner time and eat finger foods. 7:30 PM–Kaitlyn was typically in bed by this point.Īs Kaitlyn got older, she slowly extended waketime and eventually dropped her third nap.We then got her into her pajamas and put her to bed. 7:00 PM–Kaitlyn usually got up on her own.At this point, my husband was home from work and we did various activities. 4:30 PM- Brayden woke (we woke him up).She then had independent playtime and some time with Mommy. 1:00 PM–Both children went down for a nap.I stayed in the room with them while they “played” together. 12:15 PMish–We all went to Brayden’s room for some sibling playtime.Kaitlyn would have some finger foods while we ate.

To compensate, I had Brayden go to independent playtime a half hour later so he could be in there a half-hour later. Once Kaitlyn hit 6 weeks old, she was strong enough to sit in the reclined stroller, so we all took a walk after the 10 AM feeding.īy the time Kaitlyn was 6 months old, she was nursing at 11 AM rather than 10:30. This schedule stayed quite constant over several months.Īt one point, Kaitlyn moved her 10 AM feeding back to 10:30, which had no affect on Brayden’s schedule. 8:30 PM–Nurse then back to bed for Kaitlyn.My husband and I took turns reading his bedtime stories to him so he would get some one-on-one time with each of us every other night. ![]() 8:00 PM- Brayden was in bed by this time.7:30 PM–Kaitlyn was down for a “nap” or bed or whatever you want to call it. ![]() She then spent some time with Daddy and her brother, but we did have to be careful that she didn’t get overstimulated.
