My day with my 9 month old goes like this: 6am 8oz bottle Breakfast at 9 4 to 5oz bottle at 11 and nap Lunch at 1pm 4 to 5oz bottle at 4pm and nap 6pm dinner 6 to 7oz bottle at 20:30 He eats quite a bit and only top up with bottles that most of the time he doesn’t finish. I feel it’s time now to introduce snacks :)
Every baby is different but he seems to be having a lot of milk for his age, that maybe why he’s not eating much as he’s not actually hungry. It maybe worth slowly reducing the amount of oz he’s having and encourage him to try more foods My little one is having- 7am-7oz bottle 8:30am -breakfast 11:30-lunch Nap 12-2:2:30 7oz bottle at 3pm Dinner at 5/5:30pm Bath, 7oz bottle and into bed for 7:30pm My little one isnt having snacks as such, I’ve been giving him bigger meals x
This is a very new routine for my little one and she's led the way entirely. Shes 10.5months. Up until about 2 weeks ago she was having up to 40oz daily on top of meals and snacks... now it's 7.30/8ish wake 7.45/8 210ml bottles 8.30 breakfast 9.30 snack (nursery days only) 10.30-11.30/12 nap 11.45/12.30 lunch 2.30ish 210ml bottle 2.45-4/4.30 nap 4/4.30 dinner 6/6.30 300ml bottle 6.30/7 bed and sleeps through.
