I'm not really one for strict routine but this is Isabelle's general day:

Wakes 5-6am
Change her, play with her, she feeds from me and Jen normally sits in her high chair playing while I sort my others for school.

She naps straight after school run but only for 30 minutes or so.

Breakfast 9.30/10... Just a little bit of baby rice/porridge not really introducing to much before 6 months she's fully breastfed and such a chub already.

She then generally cat naps a couple of
Times throughout the day occasionally a longer sleep.

6-7 bath every other night feed then I take her into my bed she ll feed and fall asleep and transfer to her co sleeper.. That's her done until she wakes in the night for a feed!

Eva is coming up to 7 months. Not a strict routine and we seem to be transitioning from 30ish mins naps every 3 hours to 2 naps a day.
She wakes between 5-6. Bottle, change then we take the dogs for a walk. Usually has a nap when we get back around half 8. Breakfast after and another bottle. Sometimes a nap sometimes not. We normally have an activity around this time-swimming or sensory. Lunch is sometimes early ie 11 ish or late 1ish depends on nap. 3rd bottle about 2ish. Afternoon dog walk most days and sometimes nap. Tea about 4-5. Bath at 6-don't wash hair every time then bottle and bed about 7ish depending on if/when last nap was. Hope that makes sense. Naps are up in the air at the mo. Cereal fir brekkie, still on fruit and veg-was going to intro fish/chicken this week but gastroenteritis put pay to that.

Isla is 7 months old but not much has changed since she was 6 months. I'm not huge on routine but a typical day (when my OH is working a day shift so it is just Isla and I alone all day) would go something like this:

7/7:30 am - wake, breastfeed, diaper change, get dressed

8 am - breakfast (usually toast with nut butter and/or scrambled eggs and maybe some fruit)

8:30 - 9/9:30 am - play time while I clean up the kitchen, feed the dog, etc.

9:30 - 11 - breastfeed then 1.5 hr nap

11 - 11:30 am lunch (raw or lightly steamed veggies, maybe some pasta or toast, or bits of whatever I am eating)

11:30 - 1:30 - Isla goes in the hiking pack and we drive to a trail to take the dog for a walk/hike

1:30 - 2 pm - play

2 - 3:30 pm - breastfeed and 1.5 hr nap

3:30 - 5:30 pm - swimming, or a run with Isla in the jogging stroller, or we go play at the park and have a picnic, or play with toys outside in the yard, or a play date with a friend, etc. Usually some sort of outdoor activity.

5:30 - 6 pm - supper (usually similar to what we had for lunch)

6 - 7 pm - Isla either plays with her toys, or if she is grumpy she goes in the ergo while I vacuum or do the laundry or some other chore around the house.

7 pm - bath, massage, pyjamas on, story, breastfeed

7:30 pm - asleep

There are sometimes other breastfeeds interspersed throughout the day, but those would be the minimum amounts that I would breastfeed her.

Things go a bit differently when she is teething and has 3-4 45 min naps rather than two 1.5 hr naps, but the above above would be an "ideal" typical day. There's a lot more indoor playing on days when it rains, and on those days I feel like I'm going insane!
