Examples of 12/13 mos. old eating/drinking schedules?!

[dmills]

Could I please get a few examples of schedules?  I am confused...Once you wean them from their bottles and put them on whole milk, do you offer milk in a sippy first thing in the morning and then breakfast an hour or so later like before or do you combine everything.  Snacks and at bedtime too?!

We didn't switch to whole milk until 15 months as ds had a milk allergy, but we basically kept along wtih his normal formula schedule.

Wake up - milk
breakfast
milk
lunch
milk
nap
milk(sometimes 2 before dinner)
dinner
milk before bed

Of course, my ds drinks a ton of milk, but he really loves it!

We go to the doctor tomorrow for dd's one year checkup so I will be interested to see what she has to say.  I have seen info in numerous places that after one year, they should only have 16-20 oz of milk.

Here's our schedule:

7 - breakfast with juice/water mix
9-10 - snack with 8 oz milk
11-12 - lunch with water
2-3 - snack with 8 oz milk
6 - dinner with water

The AAP says 16-24 ounces, so you would be ok to add another 8 ounce glass.

BUT - these are simply guidelines.  You know what is right for you lo.
If you lo wants more milk, and is still eating enough "real food", give them more milk.

If they are cutting back on real food and drinking more, I'd limit their milk so that they get enough nutrients from their food.  Does that make sense?

You can also count things like yogurt, cheese, pudding, etc. as "milk" products.

And as long as they are under 2, IMHO, I wouldn't limit too much at all!  If they want milk, give them milk (assuming they're not "drinking their meals"), if they want a snack, give them a snack!  Under 2, they need about 1300 calories a day, and half of that should be from fat. 
Obviously we want our snacks and meals to be healthy, I'm not talking about giving the child cookies whenever they want! :shock:


HTH!

Here is my ds' schedule - he'll be 14 months on Saturday.  I still BF him twice a day, but he doesn't drink that much then, and he doesn't really like milk, so I'm trying to give him yogurt and cheese every day so he gets enough calcium. 

8:00 am - breakfast with milk
10:30 am - snack with milk (more like second breakfast)
BF and nap
1:30 pm - lunch with milk
3:30/4 pm - snack with water
6:00 pm - dinner with milk
7:45 pm - BF, then bed

6 am - bottle with milk
7 am - breakfast
10 am - snack with water or juice
11:30 am - lunch with milk
12 pm - nap
3 pm - snack with water or juice
5 pm - dinner with milk
7 pm - bottle with milk

He gets about 7-8 oz of milk in the morning between the bottle and cereal. And another 4-7oz in the evening from the bottle. He is still working on the sippy cup and takes between 2-4oz per meal.

We stopped with the daytime bottles and now thinking about getting rid of the other two.
