13 Month Baby Schedule

I stopped nursing BG right after her 1st birthday - and I feel so freeeee!! Seriously though, it was a great journey but I am happy to be DONE! Besides raising this tiny human for the rest of her life, nursing was the biggest sacrifice I have ever made.

Our schedule shifted a bit after nursing ended but it is working for all of us. We use 360 sippy cups for water and milk during the day, but are still giving a milk bottle in the morning and at night. I ALWAYS put milk in a green cup and water in a blue cup so BG quickly learned which was which and chooses to drink what she's in the mood for. (I do try to push milk at snack times because she tends to drink more water throughout the day.)

13 month schedule:

7:30 wake up

7:45 4oz bottle of milk

8:30 eat breakfast

10:00 nap (this is usually 1.5 hours)

12:00 snack

1:15 eat lunch

3:15 nap

4:30 wake up from nap (I usually have to wake BG up)

4:45 snack

5:30 eat dinner

6:30 wind down in nursery (listen to lullabies, put on jammies, read books)

6:45 6oz bottle of milk

After the bottle, we spend 2 - 3 minutes doing something else (per the recommendation of the sleep consultant to not associate eating with sleeping) - we read books or look at photos on the wall or dance around the room. Then we give paci, turn on sleep machine, turn off the lights, and put BG in her crib.
