How do you fit all bottles and meals in ???

MAMA O · Jan 24th, 2012, 10:07 AM

Im going to start weaning soon.
I like to keep my lo in a schedule as that works best for our family. I am fine with the schedule he is on at the moment but I really struggle to imagine how to fit in all the meals and bottles.
I think he is wanting/ready to go 7-7 but I just dont know how to fit in his bottles and solid meals. Does anyone follow a schedule of sleeping from 7-7 and if so what times do you give your lo bottles and solids ? Any help really welcome.

My little boy will have a bottle on waking (normally 7-8am) then I wait 2 hours before giving him breakfast, he normally has bottles every 4-5 hours.

I would leave a 2 hour gap between bottles and food, as I found any earlier and he'd be sick

You may find LO will drop a bottle, usually a night feed one

chezziepie · Jan 24th, 2012, 15:09 PM

were doing it differently mianly because they have so little at first

7am bottle 7-80z

10am bottle 4-5oz

11am 3 spoons baby rice ( this is all he had

) and offered water from sippy cup he had about an oz

1pm 5oz

4pm 7-8oz

7pm 7-8 oz

10pm top up normally an oz as he has a sore throat and he sttn tilll 7am.

When he's up and running in a few days i'm going to move his food to 11.30 and give him lunch so to speak so pureed food

My LO willnot take bottle in the morning, so it's breakfast first:

08:00 breakfast (fruits + porridge)
10:00 (if awake) milk (6-5 oz)
14:00 milk (6 oz)
15:30 food (veg)
19:00 milk (7.5 oz)
02:00 milk (6 oz)

We started with breakfast first then we moved pretty quickly onto 3 meals

7am - 7oz

9am- breakfast - porridge/weatabix/fruit

11-12- 5/6oz

1-2pm - lunch - pureed veg/fruit/bread

3pm- sometimes 5/6oz depending on naps

5- tea time

6- bath

6.30 - 7oz

7pm - bed time =]

8am - 7oz bottle
9:30 - fruit purée
12:00 - 6oz bottle
1:30 - vegetable purée and fruit purée
4:00 - 6oz bottle
6:00 - vegetable purée, fruit purée, banana oatmeal
7:00 - 8 oz bottle
7:30- bedtime

After she eats I let her play with some toys on her high chair. So it seems like we spend forever at the kitchen table!

This is what we do but I haven't given her breakfast yet. I might try her next week

I do feel like I am feeding my boy all the time.

7am - boob
8am - breakfast
11.30 - boob
14.00 - lunch and sometimes boob top up
16.30 - 8oz bottle - we are reducing boob feeds ready for child care
19.00 - bath, boob and bed

That's rough times, all depends on what time he gets up and how he naps.

We stopped feeding in the night at about 4 months but he was still having boob 6 times a day - that really felt like constant feeding!
