That's great, thanks very much to the both of you. I think it may well be worth a shot. She usually won't take more than 7oz, hough to be fair, it is a while since i tried. We had a time where her bottles varied between 5-8oz depending on the feed (when we went really from breast to bottle at 6m) to settling happily at 7oz per feed.
I guess i've been nervous to drop the '11am' bottle incase she wakes in the night hungry given she's not a big eater - equally, she may not be eating as much because she is still on 4 bottles
Oh what fun!
I suppose what I am trying to work out is whether I am fussing over nothing - if she happy on 4 bottles and not as much re: solids, should I rock the boat? Equally, I don't want her to be so reliant on her milk that it becomes a problem down the track - does that make sense? Am I just fretting over nothing? What do you think?
My DD's A time is around 3.5h. She wakes from her 1st nap between 11/11.15 and has her 2nd nap between 2.30&2.45pm depending on WU from her night's sleep.
So would this kind of thing seem about right?
7am- 7oz
8.30am - breakfast
Nap 1 9.30/45-11/11.15
11.45 - lunch
2pm - 7oz (or perhaps try 8?)
Nap 2 - 2.30/45-4pm
Dinner - 4.30
7pm - 7oz (or perhaps try 8?)
The other thing I am acutely aware of is that I have the 2-1 transition coming up, so from a practical level, it would be helpful not to have the 11am bottle to worry about.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks xx
