10 month old feeding schedule

jlh123

Please post your feeding schedule for your ten month old to include bottles, solids, snacks, etc.  I keep thinking I should drop the 4:30 bottle.  Here's mine.  My babies were born 2 months premature and my daughter is just getting the hang of puffs and cheerios, my son is off to table food.  I'm trying to move him along but it's hard to prepare different meals for them.

7:30am breakfast which includes cereal and a fruit puree for daughter and my son may have some but he also gets some cut up fruit or toast *They also have 2 ounces of bottle with their medicine.  They don't want a whole bottle in the morning so we stopped trying finally.

9:30am bottle 7 ounces then nap wake around 10:30or 11 if all goes well (haha don't I wish)

noonish lunch consisting of a veggie or a combo.  My son also gets some sort of table food of fruit, chicken maybe, cheese, pita bread/hummus to name a few.

1:30 or 7 ounce bottle then nap, wake around 2:30 or 3 if all goes well

4:30 or 5 is a 7 ounce bottle which sometimes they don't take much but are fussy for a bottle.  Should I change this to a snack?

5:45ish dinner

7:30ish, give or take 15 minutes is bedtime bottle then down for STTN until 6:30am or so.

I think mine is pretty similar.  Here's what we do:  wake up between 6:30-7:30 and have a bottle and fruit puree with oatmeal/cereal.

Nap (hopefully) from about 10-11:30 or 12.  Lunch around 12 or 12:30 consists of a bottle, and a protein and veggie like some cheese, chicken, carrots, etc.  Whatever we have.

Snack time is anywhere between 2-3:30...their afternoon naps are super inconsistent so it just depends here.  For a snack, they'll have something like Cheerios, puffs, maybe fruit if I have time to cut it up...stuff like that and water from their sippies.

Dinner  is around 5 or 5:30 and is a bottle and usually what we're having unless it's a dish with eggs (which we eat a lot) so I keep frozen mini patties of burger, turkey, chicken...and they sometimes have yolks.

Then they have their last bottle close to 7 and are in bed before 8.  

I think switching that 4:30 bottle to a snack sounds like a good idea.  If they're hungry fussy, they might just need a little something to get them through until dinner.

Henry isn't quite 10 months, but that sounds very similar to his feeding schedule with a few exceptions.

During the work week I send 3, 6oz bottles to daycare.

At 8 he gets breakfast; cereal + fruit.

His 9am bottle is 4 oz because 2 oz of that bottle goes into his morning cereal; same thing with the 1:30 bottle as some of that BM goes into his lunch.

Nap 9:30 - 11

Lunch is usually the same thing as breakfast (cereal + fruit)

1:15 bottle, 4 oz

Nap 1:30 - 3:30

4:30 bottle which is 6 oz

Dinner is around 6. He gets more cereal, a protien (usually chicken; sometimes pureed, sometimes bite sized chunks of chix breast) and a veggie. I also usually give him some finger foods here (puffs, mum mums, cut up fruit, shredded cz, etc.) 

At bedtime (7:45) I nurse, so I don't know how much he is getting.

On the weekends, since he is with me, I usually give him more finger foods with his lunch and breakfast. For example, this weekend we had pancakes for the first time for breakfast.

I wouldn't think you need to take that 4:30/5ish bottle to a snack, but maybe make it 4 or 5 oz instead of 7. Or if they are eating dinner well, leave it as is.
