My son is older now, but when he was 1 he woke at around 8:30 for the day and went to bed around 9-9:30pm. We're not strict about exact times.

He only started napping during the day at 9 months, so never did 2 naps/day. He took a nap from 1-4pm (still does!)

He would BF around 3x/day if I remember right. At 11mos he was BF 4x/day but I think he had dropped a feed by a year. By the time he was 14mos he was down to 2 feeds/day and self-weaned just before 19 months.

I fed him solids 4-5x/day. 3 meals and 2 snacks. He ate way better when he was a year than he does now!

At 13 months Megan dropped to 1nap which is early I think to drop it and slept 7-7 and napped 12-2. She had 3meals and 2snacks at that age. She switched from formula to cows milk at 12 months.

callum goes to bed between 7-8 and usually wakes between 6-7. he doesnt sleep through though and only has done once about a month ago thats when i dropped his night bottles! he only has 1 bottle now for bedtime he dropped the morning one first then we just started giving them when he moaned for one which he didnt often do. he does eat a lot of solids though and i am yet to find something he doesnt like! his naps depend on where he is. at nursery he tends to have 2 45min naps at about 10.30 and 2.30. at home his naps are longer and he usually has his first one much earlier.

These replies are all very helpful! So thanks!


My lo usually wakes up around 9-9.30 and goes to bed at 8-8.30
She has been up to now havin 2 naps at around 11.30 and 3.30 but shes startin to fight me with the 2nd one which makes me think she no longer needs it!

Today she woke up from first nap at 12.15 and didnt nap more than 2 mins at half3 and managed to stay awake until 7pm then i put her to bed for the night! Am i right in thinkin she no longer needs the 2nd nap esp as shes been fightin for the last week!

Also in regards to food until she started messin around today there is not enough hours in the day to feed her 3 meals and 2 snacks! She normally has breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner.

But she really doesnt eat much! How can i get her to eat more? Reducing breastfeeds? Because she has one when she wakes ... And then a feed before and after her 2 naps and then one at bedtym.. She stil wakes in the night a few times too!

Hi, twelve hours asleep, 12 hours up sounds about right with one or two 1-2hrs nap in between.
My LO whos 14 months and at FT nursery,
gets up at 7:00-7:30 depending on what sort of nights sleep shes had.

She gets her brekkie at 8:30 upon arrival at nursery,
she eats toast and cereal, there is a mid morning snack of rice cakes at 10:00 and a full home cooked meal at 11:30 (from roast dinners to sausage bakes, and fruity curries!) for lunch with pudding.

She naps for 1-2 hours at 12-12:30 and then gets her afternoon tea at 3:30.
Afternoon tea is sandwiches,cheese, fruit, ricecakes, veggies etc.

We get home about 5:20 and she has her dinner at 6:15 she eats spagetti hoops, beans, fish fingers or chicken nuggetts and then a fromage frais.

she will then be active until 7:30 until 8pm and then usually sleep right round.

I dont BF anymore so cant help with that question

DD would wake anytime between 8 and 9am
She would have either one or two naps: if one - 2-4pm ish, if two - 11-12 and 2-3ish
She had three breastfeeds
She would have three meals or various amounts (she's not a big eater at all so some days she would actually go without lunch or dinner) and snacks of fruit
