Abby's typical routine:
6am - wake up
7am - eat breakfast (oatmeal & fruit)
9:30 - eat brunch (toast & sweet potatoes)
10:15 - cry in crib
10:45 - fall asleep in crib
11am - cry until removed from crib
11:45 - eat lunch (sweet potatoes & a bottle)
3pm - eat (banana & some fruit)
4:30 - take fifteen minute nap; wake up very angry
6pm - eat dinner (sweet potatoes and adult food)
7:30 - take a bath
8:30 - drink late night bottle
9:15 - go to sleep
3am - wake up - demand bottle
3:15 - go back to sleep
So, if you do the math, she sleeps about 9 hours at night, and about half an hour during the day. This has been her schedule since she was three months old (obviously the food changed). It does not matter what time she goes to bed--she always gets up at the same time. Do you know how hard it is to get anything done when your child does not sleep? We are so exhausted!
