Help with schedule please

[Sarabob]

Hi all

We had some great advice last week after a week of serious tummy bug ! So thanks.

I'm struggleing to fit everything in a day can you help me with the math!

Currently weaning 3 meals a day. He needs an hour between milk and solids to fully eat a meal. First week of exclusively bottle feeding can't get enough in him, have resorted to 6-8 oz bottles every 3hrs still wakes up at 11 and 3 and is super hard to settle back in bed.
Also he is inbetween the 2-3hr awake time morning he can barely handle 2hr but after his lu ch time nap he isn't tired till gone 3hr!
He sleeps for 1hr then 2hr then 1hr naps.

We therefore don't have a schedule as it differs so much each day.
What do you guys suggest?

How old is your LO honey?

Sounds like a lot of milk - why did you go back to 3hrly feeds?  Was it because of illness?

I would start by working on pushing those bottles out again, and then you can do this as a general plan for the day:

WU and bottle feed
Solids an hour later
*Nap 1*
Bottle at WU from nap
Solids an hour later
*Nap 2*
Bottle at WU from nap
Solids a hour later
*CN in here if you still have one*
Bottle at BT

Don't worry so much about the exact times between bottles - it's not like when they're newborn and need regular feeds.  It's very common at this age for feeds earlier in the day to be more spread out and then things to cluster towards the end of the day.  As an example at 6-7 months my DD had BF at 6.30/7, 11.30, 3.30/4 and 6.30/7 with solids in between (though didn't do three meals until 7m)

Are you having some help with the NWs?
