schedule advice please
ok, please bear with me- this post may be confusing.
db is 5 months old EBF, - right now she sleeps from 6:30-7 AM (gets up at 5 AM to nurse). During the day, db eats at 7:30,10,1,4, and 6
has been doing naps at 8:30,11:30 and 3. she has been majorly fighting the second two naps - i think i need to move to 2 naps. what time should i be putting her down? was think og doing 9 and 1. not sure what ot do about nursing - dont want to cut one out, her wight gain was not wonderful at last check up.
also going to start cereal in a couple of week - when would you do it? also - before or after nursing?
thanks for any advice

Re: schedule advice please
I think btw 9 / 9:30 for the first and then about 1 / 2 for the second sounds about right. In terms of the nursing I'm not sure in terms of when or cutting one out. When I nursed my three I never really watched the clock, just did it on demand and followed their lead. As for cereal, I didn't start it until after the 6 months and then only tried once a day. My son wasn't interested in solids until after 7 months. My second dd wouldn't take cereal unless I mixed it with some sort of fruit. Hope this helps.

Re: schedule advice please
Oh sorry, forgot....I would nurse first and then offer some cereal. I offered cereal usually in the morning.

I EBF also...at that age, my DD would sleep until 6-6:30 am, then nurse...she then took a bottle of BM at 9:30, nap at 10ish, nursed at 12:30, nap around 1:30ish, nursed at 3:00, then nursed again around 5:00 and 8:00...we added cereal around 5 months..I gave it 2x a day (breakfast and dinner times) sort of between feedings...Our schedule was based on the book "Secrets of the Baby Whisperer" by Tracey Hogg...I found it to be a great resource for our family

Re: schedule advice please
I would do:
7am - wake up
7:30am - feed baby, followed by activity
8:30am - nap 2-4 hours
11:00am - 12:30pm feed lunch, followed by activity
1:00pm - nap again, 2-4 hours
eta. If you're starting cereal in a few weeks, I would switch the naps over asap so you know the cereal isn't throwing her off.
Also I would put her down for a nap after she's been fed & played with.
