10 month old eating schedule

[linz]

My twins will be 10 mos next week. They've always had bottles every 3 hours. Since 9 mos this has been the schedule:

730 am wake, bottle
830/9 breakfast
Nap 10-11
11 am bottle
1230 lunch
2 pm bottle
nap 23p-4
5 pm bottle
615 dinner
730 bottle, bed around 8 pm


They were doing fine until we added breakfast. They eat 25 oz BM a day and 6 oz or so puree a day. Lately though they have trouble finishing the 5 o clock bottle and DS spits up a lot before bed.

What should I do different? They're tiny babies so I hate to decrease BM at all.

Mine is 10.5 months, but this has been our schedule for a couple of months. I'm home now, so I'm not sure how much breast milk he is getting when he nurses. Also, he eats table food, not purees, and the amount he'll eat varies each day.

5am - nurse
7am - breakfast
9:30am - nurse
12pm - lunch
2:30pm - nurse
6pm - dinner
8pm - nurse
MOTN nursing - usually twice

I think that your 5pm bottle, 6:15 dinner, and bed time bottle are a lot in a 2.5 hour period. I would probably try to move up the 5pm bottle to 4pm, and/or reduce that bottle by an ounce. Also - what kind of food are you feeding them? Maybe you could try to increase the fat and calories in their solid food diet? You could also use breastmilk in your solid foods - oatmeal, pancakes, etc.

I get it though. My kid is a peanut, which is why I'm not fighting him on the MOTN feedings. Sometimes, I swear he lives on just sunshine and air.

K turned 10 months yesterday.

She is BF so I'm not sure her exact # of ounces, but I estimate 4oz per nursing session and she nurses 7-ish times per day.

Here is our rough schedule. Naps flex 30-45 minutes either way some days.
7 a.m.: nurse
8 a.m.: breakfast (usually banana chunks and a bite or two of toast)
9:30 a.m.: nurse
9:30-11 a.m. nap
11:30a.m.: nurse
Noon: lunch (a veggie and whatever protein her older brother is having)
1:30 p.m.: nurse
2-3;30 p.m.: nap
3:30 p.m.: nurse
5:30 p.m.: nurse
6 p.m.: dinner (whatever we are eating. she had some corn and a couple bites of chicken tonight)
7:15: nurse before bed
she usually wakes once around 3:30 a.m. to eat.

Well I talked to a friend and decided to try 4 6 oz bottles. Cut the 5 pm bottle and move dinner up.

They get oatmeal yogurt and fruit and veggie purees. They're just starting to be into table food but not enough to be a full meal.

Mine is 11 months now but we've been on roughly this schedule all summer, with a 30 min leeway for naps

530-615 wake up/nurse
730- breakfast (scrambled egg with cheese, half piece whole wheat toast)
8:45 nurse
9-1030 nap
1045- snack (fruit or Cheerios)
1- lunch (varies but usually something like cheese stick, beans, and veggie)
1:45 nurse
2-330 nap
345 snack (yogurt, applesauce, puffs)
6pm dinner (we give her whatever we've having but she rarely eats much dinner)
7:15 nurse and bed

Sometimes she asks to nurse (by lifting up my shirt, lol) before lunch for a few mins too. I just go by her cues.
