Looking for schedule /nap advice for 12 month old 🙏
Just turned 1 last week.
she is starting nursery in a few weeks . She was on 2 naps , but nursery has 1 group nap (12-2)
They will accommodate any baby’s nap times , but I know my daughter and she will not sleep in a loud busy environment so decided to start the transition to 1 nap to match nursery’s .
She’s doing surprisingly well. I am now confused on schedule for food/milk.
She is having a mix of cows and formula , as she’s only just come off breastfeeding . And weaning to just cows .
Our current schedule is
7- wake
730 – breakfast
10- snack
11:20 – bottle
1145 – nap
1:30/2pm wake
2 – lunch
4- snack and half bottle
5 – dinner
630- bottle
7pm – bed
I feel like lunch is leaning too late ? What do you all do , an early lunch ?
Feel like the afternoon I’m trying to cram to much in .
How do you all schedule it ? Is it better to do lunch before nap ? And then bottle when she wakes ?
I know she should be starting to not have bottle but it’s taken a year for her to accept it . I’m a bit confused on best way , should I reduce bottles ?
Any help would be so grateful 🙏🙏❤️

Sorry morning bottle at 10 after small snack?
She will most likely have lunch at crèche at 11/1130 before nap time .
12 months here
7 bottle of milk
8:30 ish maybe 9 breakfast
Then she plays till 10/10:30 and has a yogurt and then nap time
She naps from 10:30 ish till midday
Then lunch midday
Snack about 2ish
Second nap is usually during school run time
Awake for 4 ish
Snack then
Dinner is 5:30 ish
Bottle for bed at 7pm
So my little boy is 2 now but we also started nursery on 2 naps at 11 months old even though the nursery schedule was 1 nap and honestly he surprised me and did sleep even though I didn’t think he would either. Eventually we swapped to 1 nap around 14 months when he was ready
I had the same issue with trying to fit bottles in and lunch being too late so I ended up dropping the before lunch bottle and we had lunch before nap which aligns with nursery. We then dropped the morning bottle a few months later and then changed from bed bottle to supper (usually cereal) and cup xx
I persume Nursery will do lunch 11.30? If so could you replace 11.20 bottle with lunch at home to be in line with them then snack would be after nap then tea sometime between 4 and 5?
