my 8.5 month old son currently has 4 bottles per day of 6 oz each, and 3 meals of solids. i'm finding it hard to fit 4 bottles into the day, as well as solids. i've tried to give him more than 6 oz, but he never has more than that in one sitting. would 18 oz per day be enough at this point? i feel like he isn't eating enough solids lately as he is full from me stuffing him full of formula, lol. i know the formula is more beneficial, so i'm tempted to cut down on solids? here is our easy:
W 6:00am
E 6:15am 6 oz formula
E 7:30am solids
S 9:15am - 10:25am
E 10:30am, 6oz
E 11:30am solids
E 1:30pm, 6oz
S 1:45pm - 3:00
E 3:30pm solids
E 4:00pm, 6oz
E 6:00pm, top up of formula
S 6:15 or 6:30
I try to feed him as much as he will eat just before bed - normally 3 oz or so.
