1 year olds who drink cows milk -post your feeding shedule

I am not sure how to plan a schedule of milk and meals, and will be transitioning soon. since i have to pack a day's worth for daycare, I'd love to know what exactly I should be packing. I currently pack three 8 oz bottles of formula and two "meals" -breakfast upon arrival and lunch.

  • Wake up at 6 a.m. and give her 6 oz. of milk

    Breakfast immediately after - bananas, cheerios, etc.

    10 a.m. - milk in a sippy

    11/11:30 - lunch

    2/3 p.m. - snack and sippy of milk

    6 p.m. - dinner and water to drink

    8 p.m. - bottle of milk and bed

    During the in-between times I have a sippy of water that she drinks from here and there.

  • DD is off the bottle and doesn't have any before or after bed, so we just give it to her throughout the day along with lots of other dairy throughout the day.

    7am breakfast

    9 snack

    930 nap

    12pm lunch

    1pm nap

    3pm snack

    5/530 dinner

  • She has two milk bottles per day (6-8oz) one in the morning and one at bedtime. Regular meals through the day with sippy cups of just water or half juice and water.
  • She doesn't get milk with her meals, she gets water. She has two 8oz bottles of milk, in the morning and at bedtime.
  • Roughly this:

    6:30/7ish-- up, 5 oz. milk and a banana.  She used to also eat 4 oz. of yogurt, but is starting to refuse (anything spoon-fed), so I may up that milk.

    9-10ish--nap

    10ish-- some cheerios for snack

    12ish-- lunch, with another 5 oz. of milk (lunch is usually pb on a tortilla or chicken, with some fruit and some veggie)

    1:30ish--nap

    3:30ish--some cheese for snack

    6ish-- dinner (whatever we have) with another 5 oz. milk.

    Bedtime is 6:30/7ish.

    She has a sippy of water available all day, and drinks about 5ish oz. of water throughout the day.  Now that she's refusing anything by spoon (which was 4 oz. of dairy in the yogurt), I may add an ounce of milk to each feeding, so she gets enough dairy. 

  • We've done the same thing since she turned one:

    Wake up (6:15) - 7 oz, breakfast an hour later

    Before nap (12:15) - 7 oz, lunch right before

    Before bed - (7:15) - 7 oz, dinner right before

    She also gets about 3 snacks a day.

  • I think after this weekend we're down to just one bottle a day, first thing in the morning.

    wake up - 7-8 oz. milk in bottle.

    mid-morning - sippy of milk

    lunch - water and/or whatever's left of snack sippy of milk

    mid-afternoon - snack and sippy of milk

    dinner - water & whatever's left of milk from afternoon snack.

     

    the pedi said he needed anywhere from 16-20 oz. of milk (or "dairy," i guess), so that just about covers it.
