Hello! Ds is 3.5 months and is on a solid 4 hrs easy. Here's our current schedule (aprox.)
Up at 6:00
Eat 1 tlbs. cereal with 2 tlbs. formula, 1 tlbs. fruit (I've been giving him his normal 8oz. bottle with this, but lately he will only take about 2oz. in the morning.)
A until 7:30-8:00
S battle the 45 min nap monster until 9:30 or 10:00
E about 4 oz. (Again, used to be 8oz, now this is all he will take)
A until 11:30-12:00
S battle the 45 min nap monster (AGAIN!) until 1:30-2:00
E about 4-6 oz.
A until 3:30-4:00
S This is the one nap he usually takes!
E Same as breakfast
A until 7:30-8:00
S Bedtime
E Dream feed at 10:00 (will usually take full 8oz)
Sleeps all night!!
Okay, my question is, now that he is starting on foods, he doesn't seem to be wanting the bottles at 10:00 and 2:00. For the most part I can get him to take it, but he plays around with it a lot. Ideally, I would like his feeding times to be as follows:
6:00-7:00 am cereal, fruit, and bottle
11:00-12:00 veg. and bottle
4:00-5:00 dinner (still cereal and fruit bottle until he's ready for more veg. and protien)
10:00 dream feed
Is this to long for a 3.5 month old to go without eating? He's always been a good eater (already 16 lbs and 26 in long!!) so I think he could go longer inbetween. Just wanted some advice/opinions.
