What is your LO's feeding schedule like?
How many bottles/sippy cup and when?
How many solid food meals/when?
What time is the first and last feeding of the day?
I feel like I'm behind with my DD...she was late liking ANY purees and is slowing starting to eat finger foods. She'll be one next month and I'm afraid she won't be replacing any bottle with meals. Thanks so much!!
Re: Moms of 11 month-olds...
8am bottle
9am breakfast
10:30am bottle
Nap from 10:30 - ? (anywhere from 1-3 hours)
1:30pm lunch
2:30pm bottle
5:30pm bottle (nap 30min-1 hr)
6:30pm dinner
8:30pm last bottle
So that's 5 bottles per day (7 oz each). Lately he's been finishing off the last bottle and wants more...so he's been drinking 10 oz right before bed! He eats finger foods only for meals...and we give him a sippy cup of ice water with each meal. He drinks from the sippy well. I'm going to try and replace his afternoon bottle with a sippy of milk/formula in a couple weeks when we start transitioning to whole milk.
Wake: 6:30am
BF: 7:00 am
Solids (breakfast): 7:30 am
Solids (lunch): 11:30 am
BF: 1:00 pm
Snack - cheerios: 3 pm
Solids (dinner): 5:30 pm
1-2 oz of prune juice in sippy cup with dinner (for constipation issues)
BF: 6:30 pm
Sippy cup of water offered with breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner. We will be dropping the 1 pm BF session in a couple of days. I worry about hydration because I don't feel like she drinks a lot of water at all. Hopefully this will increase as BF sessions decrease.
8 am - 8oz bottle
9 am - 2.5oz puree
9:30 am - nap anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour
noon - 8oz bottle
1 pm - 2.5oz puree
sometimes a nap sometime in here for less than an hour but not always
4 pm - 8oz bottle
6:30 pm - 2.5oz puree
7:15 pm - anywhere from 1-8oz bottle; usually 3-4oz.
8:30 - bed
9:30 ish: Breakfast (solids - usually a banana cut up and some Cheerios. I've also started giving him a sippy cup of milk.)
12: Lunch (solids - maybe a grilled cheese sandwich and mandarin oranges) with some water.
3: Sippy of formula/milk (we're in the transition right now, next week it will be all milk), then nap.
4ish: Snack (baby Goldfish crackers or mini-Nilla wafers)
6: Dinner (whatever we eat. If he can't eat what we're eating for some reason I'll give him the Gerber Graduates ravioli meals.)
8: Sippy of formula/milk, then bed.
How many bottles/sippy cup and when? EBF 4x/day
How many solid food meals/when? 3 meals, around 8:30, 12:30, and 5:30 and some snacks here and there
What time is the first and last feeding of the day? 6 am and 7 pm
4 bottles/day, 6oz each.
6am- wake/bottle
7am- cheerios or puffs
9am- bottle - nap
10am- yogurt or cheese bites, etc.
12ish- bottle - then nap
3ish- snack- puffs/cheerios or fruit
4-5pm- bottle
6:30 - dinner - a good amount of food - finger foods + rice cereal mixed with veggie or fruit puree.
7:30 bed.
4 6 oz bottles at approximately: 7, 11, 3, and 6
3 solid meals at approximately: 10, 1, and 4:30. A sippy cup with water at each meal but he just takes one or two sips with each meal. Meals still include purees (fruit mixed w/oatmeal in the am, veggie mixed with cereal in the afternoon, and a YoBaby yogurt for "dinner"). DS had an aversion to textures and didn't start tolerating finger foods until 10 mo so we're a little slow with the introduction of those. I try to give him finger foods in addition to puffs/cheerios every day. He loves bread so I've been spreading cream cheese on wheat bread and he'll eat some of that. I've tried a grilled cheese and he'll eat a few bites of that as well. I've given plain cheese as a snack and he likes saltines.
I feel like we're behind too but it is what it is! GL!
