What's your morning/breakfast routine?

This morning was the last bottle and last bit of formula we are giving Lillian. She goes to DC and they give them breakfast around 9am, actually they call it a snack but it's usually yogurt, oatmeal. Starting tomorrow I will give her a sippy with WCM  in it and see how that goes. How soon does your kid eat breakfast after waking up? Or do they have milk, a snack (fruit or something), then a little later something more? I know I will have to see what works for us, just wondering how it goes in your house.

Cam wakes up anywhere between 7-9. LOL. Usually I give him his sippy of WCM right when he wakes up, and he just sits there and sips it while he watches PBS. Then he eats breakfast around 9:15-9:30. So, sometimes thats shortly after he wakes up, other times its awhile.

I bf K right when he wakes up, but he usually doesn't get any solids until his breakfast at DC. If I have a lot to do to get ready i'll put him in his seat with some fruit slices, just to keep him occupied. If I were weaning and cutting bottles, I'd probably still give him something asap in a sippy, just because he's used to that early-morning snack.

Today was our first day without BFing first thing... so I got her right out of her crib at 7:30, changed her dipe and we went downstairs for breakfast (baby cereal bar + strawberries). She went down for nap and when she wakes up, I'll give her a bottle of formula/WCM at 10:30ish. Then lunch around 1, a sippy of WCM at 3:30/4, dinner at 5:30ish and a bottle of formula/WCM at 7.

I guess eventually I'll replace the 10:30 bottle with a snack (like a fruit pouch or cheese) and sippy of WCM.

R gets a bottle of WCM in the AM as soon as she wakes up and usually a few yogurt melts while I finish getting ready and the car packed up. She gets to daycare between 7:30and 7:45 and they feed her real breakfast shortly thereafter about 8 AM. She's down to am AM bottle and a PM bottle and takes WCM out of a cup at daycare.

Theo wakes up at 6:15, eats about 1/2c fruit at 6:30, nurses at 6:45 then goes to daycare where they give him a morning snack at 8:30.

ruby412 - You still giving V nutrigrain bars? I remember your post because I had just tried them with L and she spit them out. I tried again with a different flavor (mixed berry) and she loves them.

I will definitely need to give her milk when she wakes up, we also have a melt down in our house if there was no bottle ready within minutes. She is still getting used to WCM, last night she had 2oz with dinner, which is a lot for her. Before bed she takes a few sips of water and that's it. She started refusing the PM bottle about a month ago.

Thanks ladies.

I'm at work by this time but this is Ari's routine.

Wake by 7:15, sippy of wcm and then he plays. He gets fruit and yogurt at daycare around 8:15.

I bf her in the am usually at 5 or 6 ish then she goes back to sleep til 7-8 ish. and she eats at daycare. They give her a pancake usually and some fruit, sometimes yogurt too.

At the weekend I bf as usual then as soon as she gets up I get her some food. Now she'll walk over to the chair and point at it so I know she's hungry.

I'm not sure what will happen when we wean the morning nursing session.
