For those who feed solids twice a day...

Do you do breakfast and dinner? Lunch and dinner? Trying to figure out what will work best with my LO's schedule, she is not a big eater.

Thanks!

When we were doing two meals a day it would be a late breakfast (after her first nap), and dinner (right before bed). I found that she didn't have too much of an interest in food early in the morning. Now we're up to three meals a day, and she's more interested in her food in the morning.

We just started 3x, but when we did 2, the daycare would feed him once and we would feed him dinner. I asked the DC to give him his food about 30m after his first bottle, but said they could give it to him whenever was convenient really (this was basically because he sleeps like crap at DC, and I didn't want his solids interfering with naptime, if he was tired).

We do breakfast and a meal around 2-3 (linner? dunch?). If she eats any later I noticed it causes her a lot of gas at night.

We do something similar with 2 solid meals/day. We tell the daycare to feed him breakfast anytime between 8 and 10am (not interfering with naps b/c he hardly sleeps at daycare). Then we feed him again at 5:00/5:30pm (1/2 way between his last 2 bottles of the day).

On the weekends, I give DS breakfast, lunch and dinner. During the week when he is at day care, he gets lunch and then I feed him dinner. (DS goes part time, so he doesn't get there until noon - 12:30)

This is what I do as well.

It's lupper in our home.

We try and give a "breakfast" sometime before noon and then "dinner" around the 4-5-6 bottle. However it works out. We are pretty relaxed about it all though.

We do breakfast around 8:30/9am and dinner around 6pm. We occasionally do lunch around noon but not very often. If we eat in front of him he has to have something so I try to eat lunch while he is napping unless I am prepared to feed him. We do BLW so he mainly eats what I'm having anyway.

Our DCP feeds DD lunch (with a bottle afterwards) and we feed her dinner after we pick her up. She's still not too thrilled with solids yet, so they're more of a snack for her right now rather than a full meal.

Thanks everyone, this totally helps and reminds me not to be so uptight!
