I was wondering if you ladies will share with me the schedule that your baby is/was on when they were 8 months old. I really want to have a schedule to follow for my daughter.

Please include...

-Time when woke/wakes up
-Nap times
-Bedtime

Also...
-What food are/were they eating
-how much
-how often

and whatever else you ladies think of...

Thanks

Well, my son is 7 months, 3 weeks, so close enough...

he gets up about 8am, then he plays for a bit, eats usually around nine or so, then plays more, lunch at about 12ish, then he usually nurses a bit and takes a nap for about an hour, then he's up and plays until about six when it's dinner time, and he goes to bed at nine at night.   He usually wakes up about one for another drink. 

Durring the day he eats one jar of baby food each meal, sometimes rice cerial in the mornings. 
As for what food, go one at a time, make sure the baby's not alergic, and wait at least four days between new foods to make sure there's no reaction. 

Usually he needs a bath after dinner, sometimes after lunch too...  
Some babies need to eat less food more often, and some babies need to sleep more often, it all depends... eventuley you'll find a schedual that works for you and your daughter will find one.

I'm a bit worried, I start college back up next month, and it's going to mess with the schedual bad....

my son is 21 months now but then he was:
awake by 7
ate breakfast at about 7:30- i gave him grits or oatmeal and a bottle with ricecereal with a spoonful or two of baby food jar (usually apple or something)
took a nap at 10 til about 11 (occasionally 12)
ate lunch after his nap- i gave him things like bread, 2nd stage sometimes 3rd depending on how chunky it was of the baby food in the jars and juice
took another nap at 2 slept for about an hour or so

dinner by 5 which was usually baby food dinners that i could either smush up or soft enough for him to pick up and eat on his own such as greenbeans, mashed potatoes. his meats i got from the baby food since he couldnt chew that yet
and he was in bed by 8

i got lucky though he put his self on that schedule since like a week after i brought him home he let me know when he was tired or hungry.  but it worked for me

My daughter will be 8 months in 2 days. She usually wakes up around 8 in the morning. She takes a nap around 11 or 12 and will sleep for 3 hours (I think she is growing). I usually put her to bed around 9 at night. Lately she has been going to bed at 8-9. She sleeps through the night.
Right now she is teething so she isn't eating normal. Usually she has some rice cereal in the morning along with a 4 ounce bottle. Then at nap time she will have a 6 ounce bottle. When she wakes up she will have another bottle with some veggies (She always eats the whole thing of veggies).  Around 6 she will have more veggies or meat along with another bottle. I give her a 6 ounce bottle right before I put her to bed.
Lately my little girl has been crawling up a storm and wearing herself out. She didn't quite make nap time at 11. I had to put her down for a nap a bit after 10:30this morning.

Here's a generalized schedule that I have for my daughter:

7 a.m.: wake up and play
8 a.m.: breakfast (we're transitioning her to table food right now, so she may eat something different everyday.
8:30-10 a.m.: playtime
10 a.m.: bottle 4 oz
10:30 a.m.: nap
12-12:30: wake up and lunch
2 p.m.: bottle
2:30 p.m.: hopefully a nap
4:00 p.m.: snack
6:00 p.m.: dinner
7:00 p.m.: walk outside
7:30 p.m.: bath
8:00 p.m.: bottle
8:30-9 p.m.: bed

-Nap times: usually a 20 minute nap around 10:30am and another half hour nap around 2pm
-Bedtime: she went to bed around 7:30pm

Also...
-What food are/were they eating: she ate a lot of table foods like rice, mashed potatoes and i was starting to introduce a small amount of meat
-how much: she would eat a good amount.. probably 2 big jars of baby food worth of potatos and rice
-how often she ate table foods 3 times a day and snacks 2 times a day.. and about 3 daytime/ morning bottles.


At 8 months old Atari also had 3 top teeth and 3 bottom teeth and she chewed her food really well.
