Trouble with last feed of day only????
« on: August 11, 2008, 13:53:38 pm »
Hi,
Hoping you can help me again with another quick question.  My son is almost 8 months old.  He's been slowly eating more solids and I've been offering the same amount of milk in each bottle since he was 6 months old.  However, he's refusing the last bottle of the day.  Any idea why or what to do to change that so he'll take more milk before bed?  Here is his routine:

8 month old

Wake up at 6:30AM
E 7AM  (bottle, 7-8 ounces)
A
S 9:30AM - 11AM

E 11AM (bottle, 7-8 ounces)
E 12PM (solids - 1 jar of veggies or fruit)
A
S 1:30PM - 3:30PM

E 3:30PM (bottle, 7-8 ounces)
A
E 5PM (solids - 1 jar of veggies or veggies with meat)
A
E 6:45PM (bottle, 7-8 ounces)
S 7:15PM

It's the last bottle at 6:45PM that he is refusing for the past 3 days.  He's only taking 2-3 ounces.  Last night I did a "pseudo dream feed" at 9:30PM and he drank all 7 ounces!

What should I do to get him to eat more?  Thanks for any advice!

Perhaps move dinner a little earlier? Or split the bottle and give half before bath and the other after. Is he getting to distracted perhaps?
