Caleb's Daily Schedule

I thought to jot these down for future reference, before I forget anymore. It seems that people tend to forget lots. Especially with all the newness of being a new parent, each day is taken as it comes, and put behind us when it's over.

I am very glad and appreciative of pipi's easy going nature, accepting changes and implementations readily. Not all children are like him. He makes us look good at parenting.

As of now, his schedule is as below, and has been for at least 2 months (see how easy it is to forget things?):

• pipi wakes up between 6am - 7am
• breakfast between 7.30am - 8am
• bath between 8.30am - 9.30am
• morning tea break of milk
• nap between 9.30am - 11.30am
• lunch starts between 11.45am - 12.15pm
• afternoon tea break of milk and snacks such as fruit/cheese/yogurt/toddler snacks, around 2pm - 2.30pm
• nap between 2.30pm - 4.30pm
• Dinner around 5pm plus
• Night routine start around 7.30pm, milk at around 8pm.
• Lights out around 8.15pm - 8.30pm

In the past before this, I just gave him water before his morning nap, as he was still supplementing his dinner with milk. After he increased his food intake, we removed the dinner milk and added a morning tea.

Now, I'm thinking of reducing his milk intake, to allow him more stomach room for solids. He's taking about 650ml of milk still, and research has indicated that 1 year old kids should drink about 350ml - 450ml of milk daily, and to supplement that with dairy products such as cheese, yogurt or milk shakes for calcium intake.
