On the weekends those first 2 hours go by really quickly. Once he wakes up we immediately do bottle, typically at 7ish. It takes him about 20-30 minutes then we go down stairs and he plays a bit and then do breakfast around 8/8:30, usually a yogurt. More playtime and then at 9 we go up for naptime. </p> <p>As for the rest of the day we do 2nd bottle at 11, lunch at 12/12:30, 3rd bottle at 3, dinner at 5:30/6 and no evening bottle, just a sippy w/formula at dinner. I'm very much looking forward to consolidating the rest of his bottles with meals since he's eating about every 2 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-mealsday#post-1878058 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 20:01:59 +0000 Tanjowen 1878058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: Yeah, I'm still puzzled as to how to do the 3 meals a day until he starts really stretching the mornings out. So far, he wakes up around 7:30 a.m. and eats and we try to do breakfast together around 8:15ish, but like your LO, he doesn't show much interest. I just stick him in his chair and keep at it to get him used to the idea and let him play with the food :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-mealsday#post-1878054 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 20:01:05 +0000 winniebee 1878054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breakfast and dinner and started probably at 5.5 months and did lunch maybe 6-7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-mealsday#post-1878036 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 19:48:50 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1878036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the replies! </p> <p>@Tanjowen: that's what I'm struggling with too. She only stays awake for 2 hours at a time, except before bed which is why we have started with dinner. I tried breakfast this morning and she had no interest, but maybe I'll try something different tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-mealsday#post-1876570 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 08:25:18 +0000 Tanjowen 1876570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with dinner at 7 months, and now at 9 months we have added lunch. Breakfast is too hard because he still goes down 2 hours after waking up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-mealsday#post-1876507 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 07:33:11 +0000 Adira 1876507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried to do dinner first, but Xander's naps at daycare were crap, so we ended up really starting with lunch. Then we added breakfast around 8 months and dinner around 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-mealsday#post-1876504 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 07:32:10 +0000 illumina 1876504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with lunch at 5 months and then added breakfast at 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-mealsday#post-1876490 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 07:23:47 +0000 Smurfette 1876490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did dinner, then breakfast. Then lunch. We started right before 6 months an buy 8 months she was on 3 meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-mealsday#post-1876486 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 07:21:23 +0000 Mamaof2 1876486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with breakfast at 6 months and then around 7-8 months we did lunch </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-mealsday#post-1876357 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 23:47:59 +0000 PurplePeony 1876357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did lunch first, then added breakfast about a month in. Dinners are hardest because by the time I get home from work, it's almost her bedtime do we left those for last. We introduced solids at 6 months, a second meal around 7-7.5 months, and consistently started giving 3 meals a little before. 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-mealsday#post-1876305 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 22:06:26 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1876305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are currently giving DD 1 meal a day at dinner time. When did you start giving 2 meals a day and which meal did you start giving it? I'm thinking lunchtime because she takes her long nap right after and it's easier for me to prepare her something then. </p>
