Routine...5 months.
in Baby
Hi girls,
I have been weaning my little one for a few weeks, and I am just wondering for those who have 5 month old little ones, what are your routines with regards to food and milk??
Spoke to my health visitor and she said I should offer food an hour after his milk feed, is this what you are all doing?
What time to they have breakfast, lunch and tea, along with milk bottles?
Sorry, I am having a real worry that maybe I am offering my little one too much too often.
Many thanks in advance.

By 7 months my first LO was having: milk feed on waking, breakfast at 7.30ish, milk feed mid-morning, lunch at 12, milk feed mid-avo, dinner at 5pm, milk before bed. I would hope something similar emerges with this LO.
I think if your LO eats/drinks everything offered, then you're prob offering exactly what he wants! )
7am milk
830 breakfast
9milk (sleep)
1030am bit of banana and water
12 lunch
1230 milk (sleep)
3pm snack again
4 dinner with water
6wee snack
7milk and bed
the snacks used to be my other breastfeeds but my hv told me he was feeding far to often off me and to give him a wee something at his snacks he would maybe eat one good sized strawberry or a rice cake or a wee bit of banana (strawberry size) just enough to keep the hunger away and he has his cup with water whenever he wants x
here is my routine...
6.30 ish milk
8- breakfast
sleep
10.30 milk
12ish lunch then sleep
2-30milk
quick sleep
4.30/5 tea
7pm milk bed
Whilst being away with my mum she said I feed him far too much which completely through my confidence. It made me quite upset as he is a big boy, (19 lb!!)
So thanks for your advice girls x
