Routine advice pls - 11 month old

[Glitter1]

Happy valentines day ladies! Just wanted some advice on my 11 month olds current daily routine....

6.30am wakes for milk - 7oz formula and then falls asleep again so obv not his actually 'ready for the day' wake up
8am wakes for the day
9am breakfast
10.30 6oz and nap
12pm wakes
12.30/1pm lunch
3.30 6oz and nap
5.45 Usually I then need to wake him as he oversleeps
6.15 dinner
7.30 bath, bottle 7oz
8pm fast asleep in bed

Do you think I should treat the 6.30 wake as a night waking and let him fall back asleep without the feed? Or maybe he will grow out if it himself? And any ideas why he oversleeps so much in the afternoon? I have tried to keep him up longer in the morning but he still always seems to need 2 naps!

Any input would be appreciated ))

I am seriously stalking here. My son wakes any time between 4:45 and 5:15. It is obviously a night waking because he only makes it until 7:00 at the latest before he nods back off again. But we have tried pretty much everything that we can think of to try and get him back off to sleep. Any davice would be appreicated! 4:45 is pretty hard going!

I think it's fine to feed him at 6:30am, even if it's like a night waking for him. If he has his last bottle at 7:30pm, he's going 11 hours without eating. That's quite a long time, for a baby or an adult.

In terms of the naps, it's very normal to have 2 at 11 months. Most kids transition to just one nap between 15 and 18 months. My LO also takes a very long nap in the afternoon (although hers is earlier since she wakes earlier - 12:30pm-2:30pm or so). I think if he's sleeping well at night, there's no reason to mess with it. Some kids just need more sleep than others.

Hi chickenlegs! How old is your LO?

Noelle, you are right. It is quite a long time without food.
