Food routine

Hi, I'm interested in seeing how much there little ones eat in a day as well as there milk. Im feeling like I'm all over the shop 🤦‍♀️ my little one is waking up and having a bottle at night again but doesn't seem to be eating much in the day. He's still on 4 bottles of 7 ounces a day but iv tried cutting that down as the heath visitor said that's too much and to up his food but he just gets so grizzly as he won't take more snacks 🤦‍♀️

I EBF and my LO have milk 4-5 times in a 24-hour period. He mostly sleeps through (well, not atm due to 10 months sleep regression) during the day he has 3 meals breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and he mostly eats what we are having. I do not offer any snacks between the meals - their tummies are still small - and milk is still an important part of their diet until they are one.

My LB - wakes around 6/6.30 He will have a 7oz bottle - nap around 8.30 for 40-60mins then breakfast usually porridge with fruit & maybe a lil bit of toast - nap again around 12 for 40-60mins then have lunch usually 1/2 a pouch or a little bit of what we had the night before, a yogurt or fruit pouch and some melty crisps - we still offer a 7oz bottle after lunch around 2/2.30 - sometimes he takes it all & others he takes 1oz just depends. - nap again around 3.30/4 for 40-60mins this nap is becoming hit & miss tho but i just go with the flow - dinner at 5pm a pouch/some of what im making, custard or yogurt and some melty crisps etc -6/6.30pm 7oz bottle & down for bed 7/7.30pm Around 7/8m he was still on 4x 8oz bottles (i offered the 4th around 11) and my HV said tbe same about dropping the anount, i dropped to 7oz and he naturally was less interested in the 11am bottle and ended up not needing it, now at 10m i think we might be soon dropping the 2pm one! Its all trial and error❤️❤️

My baby stopped taking his meals He only takes breast milk and its getting me exhausted He stopped taking baby formula at 3months now he is 10months but refuses to eat He can suck from morning till night What should I do or what am I doing wrong Please help me I have bought loads of food for him in the fridge please

Morning wake up bottle 9oz Nap Breakfast Nap Lunch around 1pm/2pm (however when he’s having an off day and doesn’t want food at lunch he’ll have a 5oz bottle) dinner at 5/5:30 9oz Bottle at bed I don’t really do snacks and just stick to meals 3 meals 2 bottles, then has water through out the day, it takes time to switch up their routine, whether you build up one of the meals a little bit more and drop one bottle. Wishing you luck ❤️

I'm the same , our wake ups vary alot! Our LG wakes up at between 10 am 12pm As she also Sometimes wakes up in middle of the night - As her elder brother occasionally wakes her up! She hasn't taken to puree at all!! She does like toast and the odd melt stick etc, but we just haven't ventured for anything else yet 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I do feel I'm letting her down but I've found this weaning journey so overwhelming!! All 3 of my kids took to food differently x
