We've finally figured out a complete schedule that Jalen seems to really like. I know it seems a little fascist, but babies really do function better on a schedule. If we let Jalen sleep, eat and play whenever he wanted, then we'd have a wild dog on our hands. It took a bit of experimenting to figure it out but it's well worth it and believe it or not, he tends to stick to it pretty consistently. He knows what to expect and it's our job to meet his expectations. Here are the Jalen rules:
8:00 he usually wakes up before 8
8:30 3.5 tablespoons of cereal
9:30 6 ounces of milk (1 hour after cereal)
10:00 NAP (about 1.5 hours)
12:30 4 ounces of fruit or yogurt
1:30 6 ounces of milk (1 hour after food)
2:30 NAP (about 1.5 hours)
4:00 4 ounces of milk
5:00 4 ounces of vegetable
7:00 8 ounces of milk
7:30 bedtime
