Feeding and food

I’ve been ready through and worried I’ve done something wrong, this is my feeding schedule but I’m worried I’m under feeding him now: 8:00am - breakfast - omlette, toast, fresh fruit 9:00am - first 8oz bottle 12:00pm - lunch - sandwich, pasty, anything I’m having usually unless he’s at nursery and he has a meal there, 2pm - 2nd 8oz bottle 5:30pm - whatever I’m having for tea in a smaller portion and yoghurt 7pm - 3rd 8oz bottle

I don’t think you’re under feeding at all! I’m pretty sure if baby was hungry he’d let you know!

Swap out the bottle for BF and that’s almost our schedule exactly. 24oz a day is a healthy amount for this age too. All good 😊

Ours is the following: 6/7 am -wake and 8 oz 7/8 - breakfast 10/11 am - 7 oz bottle 12ish - lunch 3pm - snack - normally bowl of fruit 5/6 - dinner 7pm - 8 oz bottle If she’s ins a mood etc she has a biscuits or crisps randomly

My little one has the 3 meals but less milk. 6am- 4/5oz milk 8am - Breakfast 12 - lunch 3ish - snack and 2oz ish milk in a cup 5:30 - Tea 7:30 - 6oz milk Generally he will eat plenty at all meal times but if I feel like he’s thrown most of it for the dog I will try and make up an extra bottle instead of doing the snack or I’ll make some porridge.

My little boys schedule is pretty much identical to yours but maybe actually less milk sometimes so don’t worry, if they’re hungry they’ll let you know ☺️ I thought the same until I spoke to the health visitor and she just said to remember they’re stomach is only as big as there fist so they really don’t need that much!
