How to fit it all in?!

My little boy is just about to turn 8 months and I'm struggling to fit everything into day and still have time to leave the house/go to classes. He still has 3 naps, 2 meals and 6 milk feeds. How would you change our routine to fit the third meal in? Should I just wait for him to drop the 3rd nap before doing 3 meals? 5/6ish - bottle 6oz 7 - wake up and boob 8 - breakfast 9.15 - nap (40mins - 1.5hours) 10.30 - bottle 6oz 12.30 - nap (1-2 hours) 2 - bottle 6oz or boob 2.30 - lunch 4.30 - nap 30-40mins 5.30 - bottle 6oz 7.30 - bottle 6oz 8 - bed

You could try lunch at 12 and then dinner either at 4 or just after the nap? We also do breakfast at 8 with a nap and bottle after around the same time as you, then do lunch at 12, bottle at 1, bottle at 4 and then dinner at 5/5:30 with final bottle at 7:30 :) x

@Bobbie Wilson do you still fit in 3 naps or dropped to 2? I feel like everything takes such a long time all we do is drink milk, eat, post meal clean ups and rocking to sleep!

Yea we still have 3 and he definitely doesn't just sleep on his own 😂 I get that! It's just a revolving cycle all day 😂

My LO is 7.5 months and ours is roughly 6.45 am wake up 7am Boob 8.15/30 breakfast 9.45/10 Nap 1 (40 mins-1hour) 11.15 Boob 12.15 Lunch 2pm Nap 2 (40 mins- 1 hour) 3.30 Boob 4.30 Dinner 6 Bath 6.30 Bottle Asleep between 6 30 and 7. That's on a good day though 😅 I find morning groups around 9.30 or 10 for 30/45 mins work and I try and get a Nap in the pram or car on the way there so I leave with time for a walk or drive plus 30 mins Nap time. Afternoon groups are a bit difficult depending on the am sleep as it shifts the Nap back or forward. But around 1pm is normally doable. We sometimes need a 4pm Nap for 20 mins but it takes me longer to get him to nap than he actually naps so I trying to move him to 2!
