Please share your feeding routines.....

with me!



I have just started giving LO a couple of bottles a day and because she seems to go longer between feeds on formula I feel like I could drop one but at the moment I am squeezing an extra one in before bed.



This is mine:



8am Milk

9am Breakfast

11am Milk

11.30 Lunch

2pm Milk

5pm Dinner

5.30pm Milk

7.30pm Milk

Thanks ladies x

  • Hiya, ours is as follows;



    8am - breakfast (porridge made with some of her milk) followed by remainder of the milk



    12pm - lunch



    3pm - milk



    5.30pm - dinner



    8pm - milk



    I've only recently dropped to 3 bottles as M was not really taking much of the other so wasn't hungry for it x
  • I give Dexter his milk and food at the same time so its:



    8:30

    12:30

    4:30

    Then a bottle at 8:30 bedtime.



    I'm starting to think about getting him to drop a milk feed soon because we're moving onto lumps and finger food but not sure which one? Would like to keep the bedtime one going for as long as possible really he's already dropped the night time one...maybe the 12:30 or 4:30? I think it'll take a while either way he's a real greedy guts!
  • We are not doing anywhere near that well yet



    We have



    4.30 - milk

    8.00 - Breakfast and milk

    12.00 - Milk

    15.00 - Lunch/tea and milk

    18:00 - milk

    19-45 - bedtime feed



    Although sometimes, like today we got pushed forward a little bit so by the time it gets to tea it will be more like 4pm



    Because she has started having longer lunchtime naps her "lunch" got pushed back to between 3-4pm so is really more like tea time.



    I actually came on here to ask when people started to introduce 3 meals a day. I think Biba is ready as she is wolfing down her other meals at the moment and thought about reintroducing lunch around 12.30 however she has her nap at 1pm and didnt know if she would be too tired to have solids then or whether it was good for them to have a sleep so soon after having solids?



    I tried to ask my HV today but was turned away from clinic as they had no time for us, so i wondered if any of you lovely ladies could help as always? xx

    11am 6oz and veg

    3am 6oz

    6pm rice and fruit

    7pm 8oz



    Hes dropped his early hrs of the mrn feed in the last few weeks.

  • this has been intersting to read...!!



    Tyler has...



    8am - 7oz + wee bit baby porridge

    12pm - 7 oz

    3pm - 7 oz + heinz breakfast cereal

    6pm - 7 oz

    9pm - 7oz



    he doesnt always finish the full bottle, sometimes leaves an ounce or so and im finding in the last week he only has about half of his 9pm bottle. how much food do all your lo's take?? I am only giving T about 5 or 6 teaspoons at the moment and he sometimes only eats about half. I feel like a bad mummy for using the dried heinz food tho so ive bought some sweet potato and some apples to puree tomorrow image xx
