Bottle and feeding schedule inc. breakfast etc.
I’m thinking I’m going to soon have to switch to formula feeding my previously breastfed baby but have no idea how many bottles she will need given that she also has breakfast and tea. What do your feeding schedules look like? I.e. timings, size of bottle, time of solid feeds? PLEASE HELP! 🙏🏻

@Hayley thank you for this
Mine has expressed milk and we are still on 1 meal. But I do roughly 3/4am 5oz. 7am 5oz, 10/11, 5oz, 2pm 5oz. 3pm food, 6pm 5oz, 9pm 5oz. I will probably do dinner and lunch and move the food about a bit as she normally naps by 9am
7:30am: 7oz 9:00am: breakfast 11:00am: 7oz 2:00pm: 7oz 5:00pm: 7oz 6:30pm: tea 7:30/8:00pm: 7oz I always offer 7oz and she mostly finishes them all but now she’s started solids she sometimes only takes 5oz from some bottles. As long as they have a minimum of 28oz a day alongside their foods they should be fine 😊
@Beth thank you for this. Does your baby sleep through the night? X

Roughly 4am ~ 5oz 7am ~ 6oz 10 ~ 6oz 1 ~ 6oz 4 ~ 6oz 7 ~ 5oz Some of the 6s may be 5s tho and 2 of the 6s were 7 yesterday. I’ve given solids this am as her wakes were different but I normally offer something like a pita around 12 and a puree around 5.
