does this routine look ok for 9 month old??
« on: February 24, 2012, 14:00:34 pm »
M's routine will be changing slightly as she goes from 4-3 bottles. Does this look ok?

A - 6-6.30am
Milk (7oz) - 7am
Bfast - 8am
Nap
Snack around 11am if short nap
Lunch - 11.45/12pm - finger foods
Milk (7oz) - around 1.30pm but flexible due to nap timings.
Nap
Tea - 5pm - more of a hot meal/puree.
Milk (8oz) - 6.30pm ish.

I am not sure how much milk she will want at 1.30pm so the only other thing i could do is give her milk around 11.30am and then do lunch later like 1pm ish before her second nap - might work better as I still want her to have all her milk if poss.

What do you think?

Hi think you will get more eyes in Bottle Feedings as really this is a milk question, so moving for you. Hope this is ok x

That routine looks just like the routine DD was on from about 8.5 months. If she will take an 8oz bottle at bedtime it's worth trying 8 or 9oz bottles in the day so she can take as much as possible.

ok thanks Laura. Do you think to try the milk before the nap then rather than milk and then lunch?

That's what we did, lunch first and then milk before nap to space the bottles out a bit - just watch you don't start a feed to sleep habit!
