Hi there, just checking in if I'm on track here with my ten month old son, he is on the 95-100th percentile for height and weight so he's a hungry little guy. He does great on solids and gets three meals a day plus four bottles. I do:
730 Bottle
9:00 Breakfast
12:00 Bottle
1:00 Lunch
Midday Bottle between 3 or 4
Dinner around 5:30
Bedtime bottle
Bed between 7 and 730
I know that with my twin daughters I weaned them off their bottles at 11 months and just went to sippy cups and then switched to cows milk at one year.
But they drank a lot less and it was easier to wean them, so I'm not sure what to do with a big baby boy? He drinks around 24 oz of formula plus three good home prepared meals (he's around 27 pounds). He takes a sippy cup fine with water during meals I'm guessing I should just go for it and replace the lunch time bottle with a sippy cup? I've tried to drop the 12:00 bottle altogether but it seems that he really wants the same amount after his lunch anyway.He gets a variety of foods now so I think he's getting a good balance of nutrition. I would really like to wean at least one bottle so he doesn't get too dependent on it for too long. Thanks Moms.
