What's your food and milk routine like?
As the question is!
Being nosy more than anything but as I'm still playing around with our routine now i've started on the purees, I was looking for inspiration from your routines...

7:30am wake up
8:30am Breakfast and milk
12:45pm juice, mashed rusk and either fromage frais or fruit puree pot
5:30pm juice, jar of food (hates my cooking!) and puree fruit with baby rice
7:15pm Milk and bed
Ideally I'd love to bring lunch and dinner forward as at the moment it means we're not eating until nearly 7 and then it's a rush for bath and bed!

I'm doing baby led weaning so he is not eating that much but has dropped one feed already, this may be because of weaning him off bf in the day ready for my return to work xx
9.30-11.00 and then any where between 1.30 and 3.30 for an hour xx
Breakfast when we get up (anywhere from 7am to 9.30am) - Porridge with milk (3ozs in breakfast and maybe 1-2 to drink)
11am Bottle (2-3 ozs)
12.30 Lunch - 1 cube of puree or some pasta/couscous etc and a yoghurt, maybe 1-2ozs of her 11am bottle
2pm-3pm nap

In between this he has a nap in the morning and one in the afternoon.
9am 8oz bottle
10am baby porridge
1230pm lunch - 5/6 cubes veg/potato or 1 stage 1 jar, followed by fruit pot or little stars fromage frays
4pm 8oz bottle
6pm dinner - pretty much same as lunch, just different combinations
730pm 8oz bottle and bed
1100 - 1130 8oz bottle.
There have been a couple of nights recently where he fell asleep before 730 bottle, so he's having it at about 1030pm, then that's him for the night.
As I said when dd goes back to school we'll stop the last feed at night -at the minute this routine suits us just nice, as he wakes up maybe around 830 and we have cuddles and chat together -in our bed with dd as well (though dh would have gone to work) before getting up.
Sorry to have waffled on a bit!

5.00 Milk (starts a 12ozs bottle)
5.30 Tea (solids and some more milk)
6.00 bathtime
7.00 bedtime (and rest of milk)
She's really settled in her routine and it has done her naps and night time sleep the world of good but I feel like I'm constantly feeding her! If I want to go anywhere for more than about an hour I have wait until she wakes up at 2pm and even then I've only got about 2 hours to get everything done.... what I could do with is her dropping her morning nap but it doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon.
