I have not been paying attention at to how often I feed DS and he just recently starting eating solids so I am wondering what kind of schedule I should be working towards
8:30ish - breakfast (oatmeal or rice cereal & fruit)
9:30ish - bottle (usually about 4 oz)
usually a short nap in around 10
11:30ish - lunch (a veggie and cereal, above)
12:30 - bottle (4 -6 oz)
usually a "long" nap ( 1 1/2 hours is terrific, usually less)
3:30ish - snack (cheerios)
4:00ish - botle (about 4 oz)
6:00 - dinner (mostly finger foods - fruit, veggie, meat, carb - possibly some cereal & a puree if he's pretty hungry), water or juice
7:30ish - bottle (8 oz)
Some days he doesn't drink all those bottles, or as much from each one. Other days they are all 6+ ouncers. I let him have as much or as little as he wants. He seems like just lately we are working to drop one of them. On weekends, it's usually on 4 bottles.
Re: what is your 11mth olds eating/ nursing schedule?
We are something like this although it is flexable.....
5am 6 ounce bottle
8 am wake up 4 to 6 ounce bottle
9am breakfast (oatmeal or oatmeal and fruit)
11:30 4 to 6 ounce bottle then nap (if i am luncky)
1:30 juice and lunch (a meat, veggie, and fruit)
4:30 4 ounce bottle
6:30 dinner, whatever we are having plus a veggie
7:30 I attempt a 6 ounce bottle although is dropping this feeding which is why we are up at 5 am
7 am-ish 6 ounce bottle
