is ds getting enough food?
« on: October 08, 2005, 18:47:56 pm »
hi everyone,

i tried posting on the bottle-feeding boards but no responses yet. could anyone help me out?

micah is almost 6mo and i've been weaning him onto formula and solids. he's been on solids for about a month, formula for the past several weeks. anyway our schedule

6:30-7:00  wake and bf
8:00 fruits and veggies, 2oz total
9:00 nap for 1.5-2hrs
11:00 5-6 oz. bottle
12:00 fruits and veggies, around 2 oz. total
1:30-2:00 nap for 45min-1.5hrs (you know how it goes)
3-3:30  3-5 oz. bottle
 4ish - catnap if necessary
6:30 - 5-6 oz bottle
7:00 bed
 one nighttime BF

my main question is about that 3:00 feed.
 :?: he doesn't seem hungry so i don't know whether to offer the bottle later?
 :?: if i do then does that mean he won't take as much for his bedtime bottle? 
 :?: when do i know when it's time to add the third solids meal?

thanks!
