Early Risers Schedules

If you're a mama of an early riser (I'm talking between 430-530 am) what's your daily routine look like? I'm trying to see if our schedule is in the norm. Thanks!


DS is 11 months:

Wake up on average 5 am
Nurse
Around 7 have some Cheerios

930 bottle
945-10 nap until 1245-1:15
Around 145-2 have lunch
Play
4 o'clock bottle
Around 545-6 have dinner
7 start bath/books/bottle
745-8 bed

Re: Early Risers Schedules

My 15 month old is an early riser...I have 3 other children so his schedule may be different because of that.

He usually wakes between 5-6 (most often between 5 and 530) Hes also still a big bottle drinker! Still drinks 4 a day (but hes on almond milk, so the fat content isn't high, so Im ok with it!)

Bottle upon waking.
Breakfast around 8.
Botttle around 9:30
Nap 9:30-11
Lunch
Bottle
Nap again usually around 3
Dinner around 6
Bed 7:15-730

***Some days he goes in for a nap about an hour after he wakes...like today! But during the week, this is the schedule we use.

Re: Early Risers Schedules

dd is 11 months and wakes anywhere from 445-6, and has for a long time. but 99% of the time, she takes a bottle and goes back down.
I have huge nap issues with her, and many have suggested to either keep her up... or not give her the bottle that early/make her cio - but those things aren't beneficial to her so our schedule is:

445-6am usually a 10oz bottle
back to sleep until 730 (on average)
breakfast at 9am
nap around 1130. if it's 30min I try another late afternoon nap. if it's 90min, this will be her only nap.
lunch around 1230-130, depending on nap length
bottle at 3pm
dinner around 5-530, depending on if she takes a late afternoon nap
bedtime 645-715, again dependant on late afternoon nap
