9 months- Need help with schedule
« on: December 09, 2005, 02:12:29 am »
DS is sleeping well now and on a good schedule but has started to want less formula and I'm having a hard time adjusting his schedule so he's getting atleast 24oz a day, is current schedule is below and he's really not showing an intreast in the 11am bottle but I can't figure out how to give him more during the day without having his feedings so close together...any suggestions??

630am- Wake
7am- 8oz bottle
8am- Oatmeal, Fruit and Toast
9am to 1030 or 11am- Nap
11am- 6 oz bottle (does not want this, will maybe drink 4oz)
12pm-Lunch
130pm or 2pm till 300pm or 330pm- Nap
3pm or so- 6oz bottle
530pm- Dinner
630p-8oz bottle
7pm-Bed

personally, i would just drop the 11am bottle and give him lunch around 11/11:30.  we had the same issue with the 3pm bottle and dropped it almost 2 weeks ago.  the rec in australia for this age is minimum 600-800 ml which is 21-28oz which your lo fits into.  if you drop the 4 oz at 11 you might find he takes 8oz at 3pm What we also did was offer extra in the bedtime bottle and some days she will take 8 oz and others 10 or more oz (she has always fed best at bedtime feed - knows to stock up)

you can also put formula into his foods at solid meals and also offer some in a cup with his solids lunch and you should have more than enough!  HTH
