[LoLo'sMama]

What are you feeding your LO these days? I am wondering if I am expanding enough food into Lolo's diet. Here is what I am doing....

7:00 Wake up and nurse, baby goes back to sleep

9:00-9:30ish wake up for the day, nurse again

10:00 Breakfast: Oatmeal (about 2-3 TBSP mixed with prunes)

11:00 Nurse and put down for nap

2:00 Nurse

5:00 Nurse

6:00ish dinner with family, usually 2 vegetables, about 2-3 oz each

8:00 Nurse, put to bed

So that is a total of 6 nursing sessions per day and feeding 2 times per day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Should I be adding lunch as well? She seems pretty happy, but when does nursing take a back seat to the nutrition she will receive from food?

We are on a slightly different schedule because I work, and I'm not able to pump as much as I did previously.

7:00 am Wake up, nurse

8:00, breakfast, oatmeal and a fruit or vegetable

11:00 bottle bm

2:30 bottle bm and a fruit or vegetable

5:30 nurse

7:00 dinner, oatmeal and two veggie or a fruit and veggie

8:00 nurse, bedtime

Nursing for BF babies and formula for FF babies is the single most important nutrition for them in the 1st year. Baby food and finger foods are more or less getting them used to foods and expanding their palates, exposing them to different tastes and textures. Christian does lunch as well, but he just loves eating "food", he still consumes at least 32 oz of formula a day. If she is fine and doesn't wine around the lunch hour like mine does I wouldn't be too worried about it at this point.

Forgot to type his schedule!

6:30 -7:00 - awake for the day - 8 oz bottle

8:30 - quite a bit of oatmeal with apple prune juice

9:30 - 8 oz - down for nap

10:30- 11:00 up from nap

11:30 - Lunch - about 5 oz of fruit

12:30 - 8 oz

2:30 - 4 oz- down for nap

3:30 up from nap

4:30 - 8 oz

5:30 - dinner - 5 oz of vegetables

7:00 - bath

8:00 - 8 oz - bed

He averages 32-45ish oz a day of formula

[Sweetpea24]

10- Breakfest

around 11 nap time

1-Lunch

around 2 is nap time

5-dinner

then last nap around 6. and last bottle around 9 and bedtime.

This is how it works for us (keep in mind he didn't start solids until 6 months so we're still exploring some foods):

He usually gets up between 5:30 and 7:00 and then will come into bed with us and BF a small amount. Then out of the room by 8:00 at the latest.

Between 8:00-9:00 he'll have 6ozs of formula.

Around 10:00-10:30 we have a nap and he has a BM snack while we rock in his chair.

Between 12:00-1:30 we do lunch, which is a fruit mixed with cereal. I usually toss some puffs on his tray and he pretty much licks them and sticks them on his face and arms. After this we have a 6oz bottle of formula (usually drinks about 5ozs from it).

Between 4:00-5:30 we do another 6ozs of formula.

Between 6:00-6:30 we do dinner, which is a veggie mixed with cereal.

7:00 is bedtime (sometimes closer to 7:30) and we do 8oz bottle of formula.

He usually wakes up one or twice in the night and I'll let him nurse or if he's really not falling back asleep I'll give him another 6oz bottle. There have been a very few times where he hasn't woken up at all.

I don't have one to where it's the same thing everyday.
My doctor said I could feed Jaxon 3 times a day. Stage 2 baby food.
I feed him at least 2 times a day, baby food.
He get a bottle around 6am and then so on lol. I give it to him when I feel he's hungry.

Nathan nurses about every 3 hours plus eats 3 meals a day.

Breakfast is 1/4 cup of oatmeal with either pears or prunes.
Lunch is either about a 1/3 of an avocado or roughly 1/4 cup of yogurt with fruit.
Dinner is approx 1 oz of either carrot or sweet potato, peas, and corn, and about 1oz of pears or prunes or apples for dessert. My kid can eat! Plus I give him at least 1 Baby Mum Mum while I'm getting his food ready.

Sorry my measurements are approximate I make my own and just scoop it out.
