At 11 months he was getting:<br /> 6am bottle then back to sleep until 8:30 ( this one was painful to give up, now he gets up between 6:30-7:30)<br /> before both naps (11ish and 4ish)<br /> bedtime</p> <p>LO is 13 months now and bottle weaned. He gets milk when he first wakes up in a straw cup, then offered with meals and snacks. He has a straw cup with water wth him all throughout the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedingeating-schedule-for-1-year-olds#post-1294743 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 16:39:35 +0000 sumer08 1294743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we transitioned to whole milk, we just offered it in a sippy cup with meals, and fortunately, he took to it right away and never missed his bottles (fyi - he's been drinking from a sippy cup since ~ 9 months old, but water only). </p> <p>LO gets 3 meals/day, along with 2 snacks. Milk is offered at meals, and occasionally randomly throughout the day, if he has a low milk intake day. He gets between 12-16 oz/day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedingeating-schedule-for-1-year-olds#post-1292463 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 19:02:38 +0000 WALLAROO 1292463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twoofeverything: Are they down to 1 nap? Also this is a silly question, but how do you know they are still hungry? They just keep accepting food? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedingeating-schedule-for-1-year-olds#post-1292437 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 18:50:31 +0000 WALLAROO 1292437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twoofeverything: Hi!! I know. We still need to get together. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do yet. I just started thinking about this. It just seems so complicated :). Thanks for sharing your experience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedingeating-schedule-for-1-year-olds#post-1292405 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 18:40:01 +0000 twoofeverything 1292405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PS...here's our current schedule:</p> <p>6am - Awake, 8oz. bottle of whole milk<br /> 7am - Breakfast (they eat a ton now)<br /> 8:45am - Morning Snack (nearly as big as breakfast...they still seem so hungry!)<br /> 11:15am - Lunch<br /> 1pm - Afternoon Snack (something easy, like a pouch and puffs or cheese and crackers)<br /> 2pm - 8 oz. bottle of whole milk<br /> 4:45pm - Dinner<br /> 6:45pm - Bedtime bottle</p> <p>...and then I get to make dinner for us! I am so sick of food at the end of the day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedingeating-schedule-for-1-year-olds#post-1292394 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 18:35:31 +0000 twoofeverything 1292394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi there!</p> <p>We still need to get together somehow! How are you doing?</p> <p>Anyway, our LO's turned 1 on 11/30 and at that point we were on four feedings of 6-8oz of formula. </p> <p>We started doing 25% whole milk for each of their bottles (except bedtime). Over the course of a week or so, we went to 50/50, and then exclusively whole milk for their first three feedings (keeping formula at night.)</p> <p>Last week (about 2 weeks into the transition), I made the leap and cut out one of their midday bottle feedings, replacing it with two midday snacks. WAY BIGGER HASSLE to do the snacks, but they're doing fine! So now we're at 3 8-oz bottles each day...the first two are whole milk, but I'm only at about 20% whole milk for the evening/nighttime bottle. I'm scared to reduce the formula for that one because I. LOVE. STTN.</p> <p>My next goal is to get rid of the morning bottle...it just doesn't fill them up enough anymore, and they are ready for breakfast 30 minutes later. So I think I can get rid of it and just give milk in the sippy cups, (I've just been doing water until now because it still feels like they don't drink a lot from their sippy cups during the day). </p> <p>After that, I'll probably drop the midday bottle, which I currently give them before their 2nd nap to help them stay full while they sleep.</p> <p>Last goal is to drop the nighttime bottle...I'm thinking I'll start giving it to them earlier and earlier (maybe even with their dinner?). I'd KILL to get rid of bottles within the next two months.</p> <p>What are your plans? And how are you doing?!?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedingeating-schedule-for-1-year-olds#post-1292261 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 17:19:24 +0000 WALLAROO 1292261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My twins are 11 months old and are formula fed with the following schedule:</p> <p>8oz bottle when they wake up<br /> 8oz bottle after morning nap<br /> 8oz bottle after afternoon nap<br /> 8oz bottle before bed</p> <p>When you transitioned your FF LO to whole milk, did you keep the same schedule but reduced quantities? Did you just offer with meals? Also did you transition from bottles to sippy cups right away for milk? </p>
