6 month old feeding schedule-please share
« on: May 06, 2008, 19:58:36 pm »
Hi
My DD is 6 moths old and was on 4 hr. easy schedule. But lately she is not drinking enough milk. She seems more interested in solid than bottle of formula. While having her bottle, after 1-2 oz. she turns her head away and also tries to pull her body away. Also she doesn’t eat continuously. She drinks a little and take her mouth out of the bottle again suck a little and do the same thing…Do you think I need to change the nipple to faster flow? Right now she is on natural flow dr.browns bottles.

Also, would you please share your feeding/eating schedule of your LO at 6month and which flow of nipple you are/were using? I am trying to get back on track…

Thanks

Wouldn't hurt to try a faster flow.  DD used Dr. Browns and she was on a fast flowing nipple at 4/5 mos. 

You can check out some sample routines here.

I would definitely consider chaging to a faster flow teat.  We were on the fastest flow by the time my DD was 3 months old  :o

Up unitl the age of 1 your lo's milk is their main source of nutrician, and their solid foods are only just small tasters.

Our DD is 6 months and our day looks a bit like this:-

7:30 - Bottle - 8oz

1:30 - Bottle - 8oz
12:30 - Lunch

3:30 - Bottle - 8oz
4:30 - Dinner

7:00 - Bottle - 8oz
