My ds is 19 weeks and I have just tried him with solids. He manages well for his age and loves what I have given him but routine wise, I'm struggling. Previously we had a day like this:
6.30- 7oz formula
8.30-sleep for 30-60mins
10.00-7oz formula
11.30- sleep for approx 1.5 hrs sometimes 2
1.30- 7oz formula
3.00- sleep 30mins
4.00- 7oz formula
5.00- sleep 30 mins, or sometimes no nap!
6.30- 7oz formula
However, all of these times change slightly everyday because his naps are quite unpredictable! (with many attempts to fix it unsuccessfully!)
He has missed out the 3.30/4pm bottle a few times recently due to a long lunchtime nap meaning that he eats at 2pm and then able to go until 6pm for the bedtime feed but for the 3 earlier bottles, 3.5hrs is the longest he will go between. So, since he missed this feed of his own accord really i thought that this would be the best time to give a solid feed. So, in order not to cut his milk I am trying 8oz at 6.30am, 1.30pm and 6pm with a few teaspoons of veg/fruit and a drink of water at about 4pm. Does this seem like a good way to do things? The 8oz didn't help him go any longer than 7oz did but it has only been a few days!
Any suggestions or advice to tweak would be great.... But please don't suggest a nap change to fit... He will do exactly what he wants with a general A time Of 2hrs. Sorry if long and rambling!!!
