My almost 10 month old hasn't been finishing her bottles she has taken 4 bottles a day since like 4-5 months. A few times when I would offer her a 11am bottle after her first am nap she would drink like 1-2oz then want to play and wouldn't finish it until like noon. So I think she is ready for 3 bottles a day. Anyone else's baby take 3 bottles a day and if so I'd love to get an idea of your schedule.
Also I've always fed her the bottle first then waiting an hour or close to offer solids. Now that she is approaching one soon I'd like to flip flop and offer solids first. Since she will have one less bottle a day now and has two naps I figure it would look like below. I put (ish) because times can vary from 15-45min depending.
7 ish Wake breakfast
9 ish Bottle 1st nap following
11 ish small snack (or lunch haven't decided)
12-12:30 lunch (or small snack)
2ish bottle 2nd nap
5ish dinner
7ish bottle then bed
Or if I stayed the same order as we currently do with one less bottle our day would be
7ish wake bottle
8ish breakfast
9ish nap
11ish snack (replace )bottle
12ish lunch
2ish nap
3:30-4ish bottle
5-5:30 dinner
7-7:30 bottle
Anyone have a similar day? Has anyone switched the order from bottle/bm to solids first?
Re: 4 to 3 bottles and flip flopping bottle to solids first
We mostly do your second outline, except now I give her milk maybe an hour after her lunch, and then after her afternoon nap she has a snack and some water.
I BF, so it works for me to nurse first thing in the morning because then I can lie in bed a bit longer. LO generally wakes between 6 and 630am to nurse.
