Is my baby routine a total wreck?

Question

I’m a SAHM and my daughter is 9.5 months old. I feel her routine is really bad. She sleeps around 11-11:30 pm at night. Wakes up at around 9:30. Would stay up for an hour or hour and a half. If I offer her solids during this time she just refuses them. She’ll take her morning nap and will wake up around 1pm. I offer her food and she takes it bit more easily. Egg yolk/mashed potatoes/bread cream etc. She will then take two more naps till her night time. She eats well through out the day then and also nurses. 
Should I be worried about this routine?

Answer

Is she happy and developing, then no. Are you happy with the routine? Does it work for your family. Then no. That’s she doesn’t take great interest in solids doesn’t matter, as long as she still nurses. 
If you find she is always tired, cranky. Consistently behind on her milestones. Or you just can’t see yourself in this schedule then I would change it. 
But if everyone is happy, why fix what’s not broken? :)

Answer

Getting used to solids - no worry there. I myself am not hungry every day in the same way. On the other hand late bedtime is a ticking bomb. Might be fine now and easily turn into a sleep issue. Babies that go to sleep late, wake up earlier and have a less effective sleep because they go to bed too tired. It's not just how many hours they sleep from night to morning. It's how many hours they are awake when it is dark outside or asleep when it is light. Different hormones are produced at day and night. Recommended bedtime for babies and kids is between 7 and 8pm

Answer

Like the other person said if she’s developing well and is generally happy, then no. I wouldn’t worry. Everyone does it their own way. What works for you wouldn’t work for me, but as long as you like it and she’s happy that’s what matters. My sons 9.5 months and cut out his third nap probably 2 months ago, and I know they go down to two naps around this time, so be prepared for that. You might have to help her transition, it was a rocky couple weeks trying to figure out what worked for us with only 2 naps. My son wakes between 7-8am and has first nap between 9-10am, sleeps about an hour and a half sometimes 2 and then his second nap between 3-4 usually and itsa bit shorter and then bedtime at 7pm every night.

Answer

As long as it works for your family. 
Ours is wake up at 5 where they get a bottle and breakfast an hour later, nap is around 8:30 or 9 until 10 or 10:30. Then they get a bottle and lunch an hour later. Second nap is usually around 2 and they sleep until 4:00. Bedtime is 7:30. I hate that they wake up so early but shifting to a later bedtime doesn’t help so I put them to bed early so I can have a good 2 hours of grown up time.

Answer

If baby’s happy it’s fine. I would say I would miss that baby free time at bed time, which is 8. You will def need to move that up pretty soon.

Answer

If she is happy and developing well - and it fits in with your schedule then I don’t see the issue. 
My baby goes to his grandparents 2 days a week whilst I work so I had to get him in a daytime routine. He goes to sleep 9pm-7am. Bottle then breakfast. Nap at 10-11.30am. Then bottle & lunch. Nap 3-4. Bottle & dinner. Then bottle again at 8. It works for us.

Answer

I agree with the previous 2 comments. But I thought I would just what my daughter's schedule....so she wakes up usually some time between 6-8 and nurses back to sleep till around 10-1. then she's awake till she decided it's nap time around 1 sometimes 2, 3 at the latest and sleeps until 5-530 and then goes to bed at 10. she's been doing great on this schedule and it's perfect for me because she gives me time do relax and do things around the house.
