My daughter Marnie is 8 months old and a little bit under wieght due to bronchiltus and colds (shes been at nusery a few months while i am at work seems to be picking everything up) I cant seem to get her to have milk and food ven if its not at the same time Marnies current routine is
7:00am 6oz milk
Breakfast 8:30am Porrige or Fruit and Yoghurt
11:00am 1-2oz milk or refuses
Lunch and pudding 12:30am bottle offered nearly always refused
3:00pm 1-2oz milk or refused
Tea and fruit dessert 5:30pm
Bedtime 7:30pm 3oz milk
Night feed 1 10:00pm 5oz

I have tryed giving Marnie water in the night she refuses it and wont settle or just less milk but she just wakes up earlier for her next one.

My little boy (also 8 months) is currently on three large meals a day, with some snacks inbetween meals. He has:
7am: 6oz of milk some of which is mixed in with his porridge so he generally only drinks about 2-3oz as a drink, He'll then have some toast to play with/eat and also some fruit (blueberries/banana etc)
12:30: Lunch with water
4.30/5.00: Dinner with water
6/6.30: 8oz milk
He'll have water inbetween meals and also snacks like rice cakes, breadsticks, fruit, biscuits.
He's never really been that fussed on dairy products though, he won't eat youghurts, I get him to eat cheese occasionally to try and get his dairy intake up. I just upped his food portions to get him to drop the small feeds inbetween meals as I felt like it was a constant cycle of feeding constantly all day.
