dinner set 6 people image

Right now my little 6 month old baby is taking 3-4 naps a day and going to bed at around 11:00pm-8:00am at night time.. I would really like to get his naps down to two longer naps in the morning and in the afternoon.. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?
Answer
First I would start by putting him/her to bed earlier, and set a routine. My son is 7 months, and this is how his day goes. (most days)
7:30-wake up, get diaper changed, play in bed with me and daddy
8:00-eat breakfast
8:30-10:30 play (tummy time down on the floor, or in his saucer, or johnny jumper)
10:30- go in his room read a book
10:45-12:30- nap
12:30 lunch
1:00-3:00 he plays in his high chair and johnny jumper (depending on what room I'm in) while I get house work done. And while I am talking to him.
3:00-4:00 he takes a short nap on the sofa
4:00-5:30 he plays with his brothers and sister, or daddy while I make dinner.
5:30 we eat dinner
6:30 he gets a bath
7:00 cuddle time with some one (we always fight over who gets to do this part)
8:00 bed time
It may take a week or two to get a routine down but do what ever works best for you. Change things slowly, and he will adjust to your schedule that you make for him. Good Luck

After the wedding dinner,do you serve food during the dance?
Ms. Toothf
Our wedding will be held at 11AM, followed by a dinner at 12:30PM.(Same venue) I was planning the dance/Reception to start about 2 PM-6PM(Is that good timing?) Should I be serving finger foods or something during this time?
Oh, and how much food would I plan for? There are 125 people coming to the wedding, but I realize some people will leave early. And what time should the food come out?
Answer
I think you may want to re-do parts of this, because it's a very long day with too many gaps and it's even worse when it's all under the same roof. Since most ceremonies are under half an hour, why the hour gap between end of ceremony and meal? I'm sure photos are part of this, but what do you expect your guests to do for that hour? With evening weddings, sometimes they'll set out cocktails and light snacks, but this early in the day you wouldn't want to do that right before lunch. So that's my first question. Can you tighten that up at all?
Then you have another gap - an hour and a half for lunch. It doesn't take 90 minutes to eat a meal. If you could push the wedding closer to 12, cut out some of these gaps, and then serve lunch at 1:30, for example, this would be a much more sensible timeline.
And after that, you really don't need additional food. People could start dancing at the same time (2 PM) and if you really think some might stay until 5 or 6, you could have some appetizers put out around 4 or so. Just be aware that people tend to "linger" less at daytime weddings.
Your overall plan is fine. You just need to tighten the timeline up.
