Routine for 7 month old?

[henryhsmum]

Hi

I'm new here and have a DS 7 months. I need help with his routine as I feel he shouldn't still be on 5 bottles and should be having lunch earlier. His curent routine is roughly:

6.45-7: Wakes
7-7.15: Cereal, then bottle (about 5oz)
9.45/10am-10.15-/0.30: Nap
10.30am: Bottle feed (about 6oz)
1.30pm: Solids and water + bottle (about 4oz)
5pm: Solids, water + bottle (about 5oz)
7.45-8pm: Bottle (7oz)

The milk intakes are averages as I basically offer him 7ozs at every feed and he just takes what he wants

How should I change the routine so his 5th bottle gets cut and his lunch time comes forward to about 12-12.30?  Which bottle should I drop if any and how do i go about making the transition from his old routine to a new one?

TIA

How about this 4 bottle routine:
6.45-7: Wakes
7-7.15: Cereal, then bottle (about 5oz)
9.45/10am-10.15-/0.30: Nap
11.30/12 noon: Bottle feed (about 6oz)
4pm: bottle (about 5oz)
4.30/5pm: Solids, water
7.45-8pm: Bottle (7oz)




After a few months this is the routine for 3 bottle (anain approx timings) your cue to drop to 3 bottles is that your LO starts to refuse the 2nd bottle at 11:30/12noon

6.45-7: Wakes
7-7.15: Cereal, then bottle (about 5oz)
9.45/10am-10.15-/0.30: Nap
12 noon: lunch an water
1.30/2pm: bottle (about ?oz)
4.30/5pm: Solids, water
7.45-8pm: Bottle (7oz)

Hi

This looks good - presumably I feed him lunch at 11.30/12noon on the 4 bottle routine as I can't see lunch marked anywhere?

Yes, sorry!
I personally give bottle first then solids.
