I also think it would help us to see a typical day laid out in EAS format
Also, when you say she is drinking only half the age average amount how do you know this? Average varies greatly in BF babies and anything from 19oz to 30oz a day can be normal.
As I mentioned, we don’t have steady routine, but this is how it looks last few days:
Around 5:30am she is awake, but playing/standing (I’m sleeping):
6am – E – BF (she snaked and didn’t go back to sleep)
6:30am – A – we get out of the bed, she is playing while I make breakfast
7:30/8am – E – solids (today she eat 8 spoons! she eat what we did – pureed: corn groat, cooked beetroot, banana, chia seed; yesterday she had pear – pureed and finger food, but didn’t eat it at all) + BF
8:30am – A – little more playing with brother and then we take son into a nursery, do some shopping at market. Usually she falls asleep in buggy.
9:30am – S – buggy (1-1,5h) – she is evidently tired, so even if we stay at home and try to have activity time – she is whining and only wants to be cried, so I put her to sleep
11:30am – E – solids (yesterday she had chicken soap with millet, carrot and chicken meat – I gave her carrot and meat as finger food, an tried to trick her to take few spoons of pureed mixture; day before she had race and zucchini (3 bites), day before few 3 bites of cucumber and 2 bites of homemade bread) + BF
12am – A – playing
(Sometimes 1:30 – E – BF to sleep)
2pm – S (1-1,5h) – she falls asleep in grandmas hands in 5minutes, and slept in crib
3:30 – E – BF
4pm – A – we pick up son in nursery and then go to playground (she is very active; is climbing, crawling, like to interact with other children)
5:30/6pm – E – BF (we are still in playground and she is sleepy and whining)
(Sometimes 5:45/6:15pm – S – 30min)
7pm- E – BF
7.30 – AS – bath, book, sleep
11pm – E – BF
3am – E – BF
4.30 – E – BF
Can you tell me what should be her routine at 9 month?
Also, when you say she is drinking only half the age average amount how do you know this? Are you expressing and giving it in a bottle or just guessing based on how long she feeds for or something? Average varies greatly in BF babies and anything from 19oz to 30oz a day can be normal.
- She (as my son) – is bf only for 4-6 min from day one; he had minor reflux
- She have no interest in taking both side
- I did some yield, and if I assume that that is 2/3 of amount she can bf – this is too little. I did it yesterday again to provide this info – i pumped 120ml (4oz), but she took only 95ml (3oz)
