Hi
My twin girls are just one week shy of 10 months. They are on three solids meals a day and three bottles of formula a day. Here is my schedule:
8am wake up and bottle (9 ounce bottle)\
9am-9:30am solids breakfast (finger food is cheese, fruit chunks or veggie pieces, or egg yolk and toast and sometimes if I'm lucky i can get them to take a few spoonfuls of cereal although they have really been turned off of cereal since they were 8 months old)
10:30 begin to wind down for nap...they are usually fall asleep around 11am and sleep til about 12: 15
12:30ish-1:15 Lunch (yoghurt with avocado or another fruit)
2pm Bottle (9 ounce)
2:30 wind down for nap. They usually fall asleep around 3pm and sleep unitl aournd 4:15
4:30 - 5:15 Dinner - usually veggies with meat sometimes they'll take cereal (corn cereal) too
7pm Bottle (9 ounces + ...the last few weeks they've drained their bottles and kept sucking so i now am giving them each approximately 12 ounces now at this feed)
7:30 wind down for sleep...asleep by around 8-8:30pm
---
Its strange that the last couple of weeks they are completely draiingin their bedtime bottle and wanting more. I end up having to make another half bottle for each of them after they drain the first one. Should I be concerned that their formula intake is increasing? Should I introduce snacks in the day? If so, when??...my day with them seems pretty jam packed (it can take up to 30-40 mintues for each solid feed). Also, does everyone feed their snacks to the babies in their high chair (i've read that is what you are supposed to do), but it seems to me they will be spending their whole day sitting in the high chair then.
Thanks for your advice.
