Food/bottles

What’s everyone’s routine look like with feeding their little ones? I’ve just decided to drop one of her bottles today and try her with 3 meals and 3 bottles as she’s leaving more and more milk but demolishes her two meals everyday!

We do bf on waking, then breakfast. Bf late morning which usually leads to a nap. Lunch, bf mid afternoon, then nap,,bottle late afternoon, dinner bf and bottle b4 bed. Sometimes it's different and there are 3 naps but she's definitely not as milk mad as before. The bf are shorter and generally unless she's tired (or it's overnight) she's not asking, I'm offering. She's leaving bits of her 2 bottles often too, so thinking of juggling timings of those. Feels like she's always eating or drinking now food is in the mix

I give bottles at 6, 9, 12, 3 and 6 and sometimes a top up after bathtime if he's left lots. With solid food, we do breakfast at 7:30, a snack at about 11:30 and dinner around 5. He's leaving bits and pieces of bottles but instead of dropping a feed, I think I might reduce the amount of milk per bottle rather than the amount of bottles, when we're ready for that!

Bottles usually 4-5am, 11, 3 and bedtime. Breakfast usually 07:30iah, lunch 12ish and dinner 5ish

You need to make sure she is still having a minimum of 21oz of milk per day. My girl has 160ml milk when she wakes up around 7 Breakfast an hour later. Bottle around 11 after her nap 160ml Then lunch about an hour later Nap Bottle around 3-3.30 150-160ml Dinner around 5 Bottle 6.30/7 210ml Bed around 7.15

Thanks everyone I changed it up and she actually drank all her milk for once! We did 6.30/7am milk bfast 9ish 12lunch 1.30 milk 5ish dinner 7ish milk her naps and bedtime sleep are all over the place at the moment she tends to only have one long nap after bfast and then I’m lucky if I get her to have 20mins in the afternoon to see her through till bedtime and then her nighttime sleep is awful at the min but hoping a change in routine might help! She’s always been a nightmare with her milk we stopped breastfeeding a few months ago as she protested so much as she likes to be sat up looking at everything and does not want to chill so the moment I try to get her to relax and drink milk she kicks off 🙃 the complete opposite of my older daughter who loved having a good snuggle whilst she fed 😅
