schedule is wacked.......
« on: August 04, 2006, 11:25:19 am »
DD is almost 6 1/2 months old, and we started on 3 meals a day a few days ago. This is the current schedule...  ( we are on 2 naps now since shes fighting her 1/2 hour morning nap for the last week)
 
6:30-7 up and bottle (maybe 4 or 5 ounces)
1/2 hour later try to finish her bottle,which she doesnt.
8:30-1 jar fruit
9:30-nap
11:30-bottle-7 ounces
12:30-lunch-1 jar of veggie
1:30-nap
3:30-bottle, maybe 4 ounces
5:00-1 jar veggie and 1/2 fruit
6:30-bottle maybe 4 or 5 ounces
7 bed

She had a d/f at 9, but has started to refuse it a few days ago, which means she wakes at 12:30-1:30 for a bottle instead of 3ish or so. She doesnt drink a big morning bottle, so should i start cutting out the night bottle? she may drink 4 or 5 at the night bottle also...im totally confused with her schedule...and this is on a good day that this happens! usually its just wacky with her ounces....HELP!

I'm sure a monitor will help, but I'm wondering if that DF is too early? 10-11 might work better b/c she'll eat more and last the rest of the night. Just the first idea that popped into my head!

Also, once you start solids some of the bottles may get smaller as she isn't as hungry for them, or prefers the other food.

I have always given her a d/f around 9, im trying to phase this out since shes refusing it and fighting with me to eat it....???also should i try to dilute the 1-3 feeding so she phases this out too?? she acts like she wants it but doesnt drink much at all....
