Hope this belongs here and not in the bottle forums
My DD is 11 months adjusted (13 actual) and is moving toward one nap a day so we are changing her routine to fit this transition. Also we just recently flipped her lunch/dinner solids and bottles as recommended on this forum (and it's worked great, no reflux problems). As a consequence, I'm confused as to what to do about her bottles. Her current routine is below:
6:45 w/u and meds
7:30 bottle (7 oz, always drinks this one)
8:30 breakfast (finger food cereal/fruit or 3 oz baby oatmeal made w/ water & 2 oz fruit)
9:30-10:15 nap
11:30 solids lunch (1 oz meat, 3 oz veggie)
1:00 bottle (drinks about ~4oz of this now)
1:30- 4:30 nap
4:30 snack (1/2 yogurt with 2 oz fruit)
6:30 dinner (1 oz meat, 3 oz veggie)
7:00 dessert (other 1/2 yogurt with 1 oz fruit, vitamins)
8:00 bottle (drinks about ~4 oz if we push it)
8:30 asleep
She is MSPI so we are sticking to the Nutramigen Toddler formula until she's 2, do not give her anything made with cow's milk, and give her coconut yogurt. We tried a cow's milk trial about a month ago with disastrous results.
She's not too great at using the sippies yet. She prefers the take n' toss hard spout ones and will drink 1/2 to 1 oz of water per meal in it. So my questions are 1) when do I know to drop the lunch/bt bottle? 2) do I move the lunch/bt bottle to a sippy of formula during those meals, or just stick to water? 3) If I do move the formula to a sippy during lunch, should I worry if she drink only an ounce? That won't get her the calcium she needs, or the adequate fluid intake. Will it eventually go up as she gets better with the sippy? 4) If I do take away her lunch/bt bottles and switch to sippy of formula, should I also offer a sippy of formula with her afternoon snack? We've only used water in the sippy; not sure if she will like formula from it more or less than the water.
As she is nap transitioning as well I don't want to put too much on her, but she's dropped her lunch/night bottle intake almost in half for each and I just don't know when to drop them altogether. Thanks for reading!
