Hi there,
My Lo is 7 months next week and started solids at 6 months. We are just about to add second solids meal. Below is our current schedule
6.30/7am - wake
7.15/7.30 ish - BF
9.30 - BF top up pre nap
9.45- nap
11.15 - wake
11.30 - BF
12 - solids - meat and veggies
1.30-BF top up pre nap
1.45 - nap
3.15 -wake
5pm - Expressed bottle 100-120ml and offer breast (going to daycare in a few months hence bottle)
6.30 - top up pre bed
6.45-7pm bed
No night wakings or feeds.
Her routine has just changed in the last week as her A time has increased, not sure we are 100 percent there with it but getting consistent 2x 1.5 hr naps and approx 11-12 hrs at night. Prior to the routine change she was BF at 4.30pm expressed bottle at 5.30pm and pre BT top up at 6.30.
Ful of milk = great night sleeping!
I know people will prob think she has a lot of milk feeds. We trialled dropping one but it led to a nit waking due to hunger so it was quickly added back in.
So thoughts for adding dinner are either
4.30 - expressed bottle
5pm - solids
5.30 - finish expressed bottle is taken less than norm or offer BF
6.30 - pre BT BF
Or
5 - expressed bottle
5.30 - solids
6.30 - pre BT BF
Would 5.30 solids be a bit late for a 6.45/7pm BT?
Any other suggestions welcome
