Stories, puzzles, mini trampoline, singing, stickers, playdough, photo albums, blocks, sorting toys, eat, nurse, nap, repeat.

I guess the big question is are you home alone with the baby who can have your undivided attention or are there other kids or are you working from home as well.

I was blessed to be a SAHM when my kids were small and there were many days we didn't leave the apartment (when I had only one-much harder with an older child as well.) But, I didn't work and I didn't accomplish much other than entertaining the baby.
I miss those days.

My 1 yr olds schedule is something like this

7:30 wake up
7:30-9 not really sure - she gets changed and watches my older kids as they get ready for school... she wonders around, gets into trouble, they play around with her....sometime during that time she gets a bottle and one of the kids usually offers her some of the breakfast their eating....
9-9:30 - gets dressed and sits down for a proper breakfast
9:30-10:30 - I take out some toys for her and spent alittle time playing with her. Then I try to spend some time catching up on the news online.... she either continues playing herself, gets into trouble (emtys cabinets and ect....) or come to sit near me and demands more attention
10:30-12:30 nap time
12:30-1 lunchtime
1-2 we go out. Every single day, even when cold. It's good for both of us. One day we do food shopping, another day regular errands, another day we get together with another one yr old, somtimes I take her to the park and etc....
2-3 we do chores around the house and she "helps" me. Like she'll hand me the laundry to put in the machine or bangs around pots while I cook...
3 and on my older kids start coming home so the rest of her day basically follows whatever they do....

My son is 13 mo

8;30 he wakes up starts mamash screaming right away
I change him and give him warm milk in a bottle
Then he plays with his toys till breakfast is ready (a slice of bread smeared with peanut butter and chopped bananas)
After eating he plays again
Then I give him a snack (crackers)
12:30-1pm he takes a nap
1:40-2 he wakes up and I do the same thing change diaper but no bottle
I basically just let him play and crawl around basically lol.
Oh and at 5 he takes another nap and again he plays and crawls around.

Sometimes I take him to the park and put him on the swings and we’re there till he starts looking bored then we go home or to the store if we need to get something

At this age they don’t need much but they do need to be near you and feel loved and cared for throughout the day.

think whether it will help you to have a schedule
can be detailed or loose

breakfast

we liked to get out for a morning activity: walk, park or both

lunch

nap

indoor activity or short outdoor activity/errands

supper

wind down/book reading/bath evening routine

bedtime

can help to team up with some like minded friends/women in the same routine
