number of bottles?
« on: August 22, 2009, 11:18:47 am »
Hi my LO is 7 months and 3 weeks old.  here is our easy at the moment.


6 E 7 oz
7 E solids 2 tbs
8:45 S (1.5 h to 2 h)
11 E 6 oz
12 E solids 2 tbs.
1:30 S (2h)
3:30 E 6oz
4:30 E solids same as above
5:30 S 45 min
6:15 bath
7:30 E 7 oz sleep

Mt question is, yesterday his afternoon nap was 45 min long and I tink it's because due to lenghtening his A time, his nap falls during his 3pm bottle and is waking due to hunger.  Is it to early to drop the 11 am bottle and if I do that, what would my easy look like?

Hello!  :)

45 minute naps typically mean UT.  So he could be waking from being UT rather than being hungry.

You could always increase the A time from AM nap to PM nap by just a little and then also push his lunch time a little later!

HTH! :)

I wanted input on my routine now that his is doing 3 hours a time.  He was consistantly only taking 2 or 3 oz at his 11 am bottle so I dropped him to 3 bottles a day.  The only thing is I don't know if I should be giving the bottle before the solides as I want to even out the bottles as even as possible.  As I have it, they are 6 h. apart.

6:30 E bottle 7 oz
8:00 E solides
9:30 nap 2h.
11:30 A
12:00 solides
1:00 or 1:30 bottles 5 oz
2:30 Nap  2 H
4:30 A
5:00 Solides
7:30 bottles 7 oz bed

does this look right or should I be switching the lunch solides with the bottle??

Nee, your routine looks good. 

What we did at that age was have lunch at 11:30 after her morning nap, and then you would have a bigger gap between lunch and afternoon bottle.  We would then do afternoon bottle at around 1:30 - 2:00pm depending on when her nap was.

We also moved dinner to around 4:30ish to make sure she was hungry enough for her bottle.

That's bang-on what our day looked like at 8 months.  I kept the lunch time solids first, rather than after the milk mainly because solids got my DS worked up and hyper - he loved them, and it was really a play time thing.  Doing ti before nap was chaos. However, a bottle shortly before nap got him nice and chilled out and relaxed and calm - a much better mindset (for both of us!) before nap. And, on days when he didn't like his solids I knew that he was still going to go for his nap with a full tummy - which meant when he woke early from his nap I could rule out hunger!
