Itell me your feeding and napping schedule of your toddler? my son just turned 1 yrs old saturday and he goes to bed at 6p.m. If he takes a 2nd nap, he will go to bed at 7p.m. He will sleep usually from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. and play in his crib til 8:30-9 a.m. then he will have a 7 ounce bottle and at 10:30 a .m. a bowl of cereal or oatmeal, eggs or something to that nature...at 11:30 he is down for his nap til 1-1:30 p.m.has another 7 ounce bottle or just a snack...at 3:30-4 he has dinner and before bed, another bottle...is this a typical schedule?

I have a 19 month old. She wakes up at 7am, has her breakfast and some milk in a sippy cup at 8am. She eats lunch at 11:30am, and has some water or juice in a sippy cup. She takes a nap from 12:30-2:30, has a snack ansd some milk in a sippy cip.. She eats dinner at 5:30pm, takes a bath at 7pm, has some more milk ina sippy cup, has her teeth brushed and is asleep by 8pm.

In my oppinion (since you asked for it!) I don't think this is really typical. I'm not certain why you don't get the child up when they wake up instead of having them play in the crib for 2 whole hours, nor why they go to bed around dinner time. Why not put your son to bed at 8 and have him get up at 8? That way the child can eat Breakfast, Play, Eat Lunch, Nap, Play, Eat Dinner, Play and then go to bed. Why are you not feeding him breakfast until 10:30? He needs three meals a day just like us and less milk, he is a toddler now, not a baby!
I'm not knocking you about the bottle, but my experience was that my son didn't master a sippy cup until he had no choice. I just pulled the bottle cold turkey, it will hurt you more than it hurts him, and in a few days he will get that he needs to use the cup.
Good luck.

Sounds like he sleeps alot. My son always got up adround 6 or 7 am and took a 2 hour nap at about 11 to 1 then would be up all day till about 7 or 7:30 at night. He was off the bottle at 12 months exactly.

I don't think it is. My kids usually always had dinner when the rest of the family did. 6 PM seems really early for bed and 3:30 seems too early for dinner.
