the brown family

Charlotte is now 5 1/2 months old so we decided to start her on a little cereal. She had begun to seem more hungry throughout the day and woke up some at night so we felt those were signs she was ready. She loved it and is already finishing her "meal" of cereal now.



Charlotte's schedule - 5 1/2 months

~ This is really more of a routine as it really can vary depending on the days and what we have going on but this is the average day for Miss Charlotte!

6:30-7:00 Wakes up around this time (though Daylight savings time really messed this up). I breastfeed her immediately (I think around 6 - 8 oz). Then we go downstairs and I eat breakfast while she plays. Then I give her cereal mixed with breastmilk. After this she plays some more on her playmat.

9:00 Morning Nap

10:00 She sometimes sleeps longer but normally she is up by then and we go for a walk.

11:00 Breastfeed (6-8 oz)

11:15 Playtime (watches me do household things, etc)

12:00 Watches a babyfaith video while I eat lunch

12:30 / 1:00 Between these times she goes down for her Afternoon Nap

2:30 / 3:00 Breastfeed (6-8 oz) Afterwards we run any errands

4:00 For the most part she still takes a little nap late in the afternoon unless she sleeps for at least 2 hours during her first afternoon nap. I won't let her sleep past 5:00.

5:00 Playtime

6:00 Breastfeed (6-8 oz) then Cereal mixed with Breastmilk

6:30 Bathtime / Bedtime routine

7:00 Goes to sleep!
