@Cass this is really helpful! How soon after waking up do you do breakfast??
Oh good! We are usually eating breakfast an hour after he wakes up.
Lately our schedule looks like: 7 am wake up / morning snack & water 8 am breakfast 10 am yogurt pouch 11:30 am lunch 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm 8 oz bottle / nap 2:00 pm - second lunch 4:00 pm - fruit/veggie pouch 6:00 pm - dinner 7:30 pm - 8 oz bottle / bed time If he really wants a bottle throughout the day, we will give him a small one. We usually do this when we are in the car or a situation he wants more comfort. We do water in his bottle for night wake ups after we brush his teeth - sometimes milk if he’s having a hard night. He was slow to eating solids. We started offering at 6 months but he wasn’t really swallowing anything until 12 months. Now at 15 months, he’s really taking off and eating all the time which seems to have him asking for bottles less. It was all in his own time!
My LB is the same way, he was slow to solids and just wanted milk. One thing we do is offer him little munchies and water first thing in the morning while we are all waking up and preparing breakfast. Usually it’s a mix of cheerios and freeze dried yogurt bites. We don’t do our first bottle until late morning after breakfast. We are trying to wean him off this bottle. I just started offering him a yogurt pouch instead of the bottle.
