I BF straight from the tap, and am now starting the weaning process. I don't really know how often DD gets fed. I feed her whenever she reaches for my shirt. Now that I am trying to replace feedings, I need to come up with a schedule of some sort.
What is your feeding schedule?
Re: How often does LO get fed?
I BF straight from the tap too, and I'm slowly dropping feedings. We are down to 6 a day right now. I'm really confused about which one to drop next because I'm paranoid she won't eat/drink enough to replace it.... but here's our current schedule:
6:30-7ish (Wakeup): Nurse
8:15ish: Solids breakfast with BM in sippy (she barely drinks any)
9:45ish: Nurse then nap
11:45ish: Nurse
12:30: Solids lunch with water in sippy (or the milk left from breakfast)
2ish: Nurse then nap
4ish: Nurse
5:15ish: Solids dinner with BM in sippy (she takes maybe 2-3 oz)
7:00: Nurse then bed
So she's still basically nursing every 2-3 hours during the day. No nursing over night anymore.
LO has four 8oz bottles a day - around 7:00, 10:30, 2:30, and 6:00. He eats solid food 3 times a day - around 8:15, 12:00, and 6:15.
I am planning to talk with my pedi at his 1 year appt about how to go about giving his less milk and eliminating the bottle. He used to eat a lot more solids, but these days he mostly throws them.
Right now we do milk and then 30-60 minutes later he has his solids (except for dinner). Pretty soon we'll be flipping this (solids first, then milk) but right now his schedule is:
6:30AM - 7AM: Wake up and BF
8AM: Breakfast solids
11AM: BF (or bottle if I'm at work)
12PM: Lunch solids with water in sippy
3PM: BF (or bottle if I'm at work)
5:30PM: Dinner solids with water in sippy
7:30PM: BF and then bedtime
