What time do you put your one year old to bed? MIne is asleep by 6:30 every night. He is up at 5:30, naps from 8:30-10:30 then again from 1:30 to 3, 3:30. IS this too much??? He is so easy going that I am not sure if he is tired or is just going with the flow! Also, my daughter is 4, how quickly you forget things! WHat are there meal schedules, menus???
doesn't sound like too much to me, although I think I would make the bed time an hour or so later so that I didn't have to get up at 5:30....LOL - but if that works for you - Rock It!!
I have all this information on my website and you may find it very helpful to read through

I could copy and paste it all here, but it is a LOT of info
That sounds about right! I was putting my one year old down at 7-7:30pm so he's up at 6-6:30. He just turned two and has already dropped his second nap so enjoy the good naps while you can :)
As for food, I do breakfast, morning snack, lunch, naptime, afternoon snack, dinner and bed. Your baby would probably nap after breakfast. Just keep offering balanced meals and you'll be fine!
My 15month old son has almost the exact same schedule. I just went to the ped on Tues and asked her if he was sleeping too much and she said absolutely not! Babies this age are so busy exploring that the more rest the better! She said to consider myself lucky!
As for my 4 yr old. I have a picky picky picky eater, so menus are very difficult. My ped told me to keep trying to introduce new foods and make ask him to taste, lick, whatever I can get him to do without making it unpleasant. If he likes something enough to swallow it, add two of that thing the next time and so on. (ie, if he actually eats a blueberry, feed him two the next time with his meal). I also make him an amazing grass kids drink every morning and give him a liquid multi in his juice later in the day. But hopefully you dont have those eating issues! I time the meals for both my kids between the naps (my 4yr old still takes an afternoon nap thankfully). Breakfast 7:30a, Lunch 11:30a, Dinner 5:30p all are approximate and change sometimes due to our days adventures/errands!
I have a 1 and 3 yo, they both go to bed at 8ish...the 1 year old a little before and the 3 year a little after. The 1 year old wakes between 6-6:30 and the 3 yo wakes between 7-7:30. The 1 yo naps from 1-3ish, sometimes with a morning nap on the way to our morning activity, and the 3 yo doesn't really nap anymore. They both eat their meals at 8:30ish; 12-12:30ish, and 6 with a morning, afternoon, and bedtime snack as well.
That is a great sleep schedule. You're blessed.
When my daughter was one year she was a 7-7 sleeper with a nap around 9:30 to 10:30 and then from 1 -3.
