Hi,
My lo is 7 1/2 months old and his routine is:-
7am Wake and breast feed
8am Breakfast (cereal and toast)
11am Bottle (5oz)
12pm Lunch (savoury + dessert + few nibbles of finger food)
3pm Bottle (3oz)
4pm Tea (Savoury + desert + few nibbles finger of food)
6.30pm Bottle (6oz)
7pm Bed
I've put the amounts he actually seems to take. I dropped his dream feed a few days ago because he hasn't been taking enough milk during the day and thought this might encourage him. It didn't seem to work! (My HV didn't seem to concerned when I discussed it with her this mornign because he's eating solids well - but I still think he's too young to be taking less than 18-21oz a day)
On another thread someone suggested dropping a bottle during the day, but I am concerned that because I breastfeed first thing in the morning, I can't be sure how much he s taking.
Should I drop the morning or the afternoon bottle, if I'm going to? And should I leave it a bit longer as I've only just dropped the dream feed? (The one good effect is that dropping the dream feed seems to have helped him to sleep through the night!)
Many thanks!
Mama
