EASY while reducing BFs
« on: May 17, 2006, 19:45:15 pm »
My DS just turned 10 months old and I am trying to go from 4 BFs to 3.  I would love to see some of your schedules, and hear how it went for  you.  DS is not interested in taking EBM from a cup, so I figured I would not cut out BOTH mid-day feeds just yet.  Here is our current schedule:
7AM-wake and BF
8:15-cereal and fruit
10-nap (1 hour)
11:15 BF
12:30- vege and fruit
2:00 nap (1-1.5 hours)
3:30 BF
5:30 dinner (solids w/ water or diluted juice)
7:30 bath, then books and BF
8 ish bed

HI there,
I remember this phase! I stuggled with which feed to drop etc....but after posting here, I learned (and it was true) that the 11am feeding. In your case.11:15 or so.
I shall try to remember what we did......
7am--bottle
8am-cereal, fruit
8:30--9-am sleep for about 1.5 hours
when he woke, Id give him a snack..he would eat crackers..cheese...cheerios etc...yogurt...just soemthing to tide him over
and then @ about 12 or so he'd have lunch.......
Hope this helps.

Thanks sjeb!  That is actually what I did today, and it worked pretty well.  He seemed hungry for his lunch, so I wanted to be sure I didn't need to do anything else.  But of course with all the extra trouble he has managed to find now that he is so mobile..I guess that would increase his hunger ::)
