6m Routine
« on: August 05, 2011, 04:55:49 am »
My DD is now 6m old and has started eating solids 3xs a day as well as nursing after feedings. What type of schedule is normal for a 6m old while eating solids? I am very unsure! My milk supply has also been decreasing ever since I started pumping now that I work, which is a major concern for me!  ???

My DD schedule:
5am  - BF
S
7am  - BF
S
A 8am
10am - Solids then BF (or 4oz bottle, though that amount is decreasing  :( )
S (12-1)
1pm  - Solids then BF (or 4oz bottle, though that amount is decreasing  :( )
S (3-4)
4pm  - BF
7pm  - Solids then BF
10pm - BF

This has been her schedule for a long time now and I feel like it needs adjusting, just not sure what all to do

Thanks

Hi, does this help?

http://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=68458.0

Personally I gave solids an hour after a BF and followed the 4 hour routine. We did have a DF and a NF at that age too.

Is 10am your breakfast and 7pm your dinner?

Personally routines didn't work for us with BF till our LO was 10 months!  I got myself tied up in a knot with the BW which I have a lot of time for but I found that very few books really had all that much experience of BF mothers, especially past 6 months. 

I reckon you do what works for you and not worry too much unless it's affecting her mood, her sleep or you.

My LO is almost 6 1/2 months too and our routine is the same, but we start our day an hour later!
