Quick Question:
I'm wondering what to do about the end of day routine for my 7.5 mo old. His A time is 3.5 hrs.
Here's his current EAS
7am WU/ BF
8am Solids
10:30am S (1.5-2hrs)
Noon BF
1pm Solids
3:30 S (1-1.5hr)
5pm BF
6pm Solids (Porridge with Formula)
7pm Night routine+ Formula
7:30pm asleep
(no DF)
So, at the end of the day, I'm finding that my LO is not interested in the final bottle of the day. In fact, he's finicky about any of the BF and nurses for 5-10min tops. I am wondering if I am trying to get too many things down between his last nap and his bed time. As to the Porridge he gets, I don't give him as much as the serving size suggests, but he gobbles down every bite I give, even if its 5min after he just Breastfed.
I recently switched the last BF to a bottle of Formula, as I am dropping the DF currently. Until recently, he would gulp down 8oz of Formula at the DF. I assumed he took this much because he didn't get much Breastmilk from me at the end of the day. So, I decided to do a bottle instead and drop the DF. That way, I'm off the hook and my husband still gets to do his one feeding.
