i was feeding DS solids twice a day and our pedi told us to now make his primary source if nutrition be solids so he should be eating solids 3 times a day. this is what our schedule "USED" to be:
wake at 6:30am, drink 7oz formula and right back to bed
wake for good at 8:30am
breakfast at 9:45, 2oz fruit & approx 5oz formula
nap at 12
lunch at 1pm, 7oz formula
dinner at 4pm, 2oz veggies & approx 5oz formula
short nap at 4:30/5-ish
6:30pm...7oz formula
7:00-7:30pm bed
now that i am feeding him approx 3.5oz fruits/veggies/oatmeal three times a day, i feel like i am OVER feeding him. but he is definitely still thirsty/hungry for formula after every meal. i am trying to give him a sippy cup with water as pedi suggested but he doesn't know how to put his head back to drink it yet and doesnt care for water much. adding snacks in the middle of every meal seems like too much!
PLEASE share your feeding/sleeping schedule. i REALLY appreciate it!

We let C cue us on when exactly he wants what but it normally lines up along this routine.

He also has puffs, fresh fruit, and sippy with water throughout the day. I will also suggest trying a sippy with the straw. My son couldn't figure out how to tip a sippy up to get the water either but we tried the straw and he can totally do it now!!
