12 m old routine
« on: August 21, 2006, 15:40:37 pm »
Hi,
My son Ewan is one tomorrow (time flies!) and still wakes for a bottle during the night, he still prefers milk to anything else
His routine is along the lines of
8am - 8oz bottle and breakfast (weetabix, shreddies,readybrek, fromage frais - anything like that )
11am - snack of some sort and drink of water/juice
1-2pm - Lunch - toast and marmite, yogurt, finger foods or something bigger if he will take it, very often will take 3 months fulls and then refuse any more and 8oz bottle
4 - snack
6- tea - usually cooked meal and 8oz bottle
7-7:30 bath (not every day) change clothes and bed.

Will then usually wake around 11-12 often gets him back to sleep without a bottle, some times will sometimes wont!
Then it varies that he can wake usually once around 3 am (time varies) and he has another 8oz bottle i've tried giving him only water but he has cottoned on to that! and will just scream - so i just tend to give him a bottle and he will go straight back to sleep.

Have only had a handful of full nights sleep!! (actually feel worse when i've had a full nights sleep!)

He generally will eat anything, but will often refuse it after a couple of mouth fulls - very irritating!!

What do you think?

Your LO needs more solids during the day I think. I highly suspect your DS is hungry at night and thats whats waking him. If he's anything like my DD start giving more table foods and less mush, she will not take mush except at brakefast.
My DD will be one one Friday (time sure does fly) here's what she eats.

8am brakefast Cereal and mixed fruit/juice or water
9 milk 8-10oz
10 Small snack crackers + cheese, or cookies/ juice or water
11:30 Lunck Mixed veggies and fruit and often some pasta or fruit chunks
12 nap (she sleeps 2-3 hours)
3 snack/juice or water
5pm Supper, whatever we're having
6:30 milk 8-10oz
7pm bedtime.

This is my take on this anyway. HTH

I agree with Kimberley perhaps cut out that bottle at lunchtime bottle and then you might find he will eat more. This is our day:

7.30am - Breakfast cereal mixed with milk,slice of toast and 7oz milk
10am - Snack rest of milk slice of cheese
11.30am - Lunch: Either sandwich,125g tin spagetti/bake beans,soup,scrambled egg. 120g yoghurt. Water
12pm - Sleep 2-3hrs
3pm - Snack fruit stick with water
5pm - Dinner what we are having about 1/4-1/2cup worth. Then fruit&custard or jelly about 100g. 7oz milk
6.15pm - Bath,rest of milk
7pm - Get ready for bed
7.15/7.30pm - Asleep for the night.
