Just add the solids and if he takes less of the bottles I'm sure the teachers will tell you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-daycare#post-864657 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:01:44 +0000 butterbean 864657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: thank you!<br /> @purrpletulips: this is helpful! thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-daycare#post-864643 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:54:48 +0000 purrpletulips 864643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 9 months and here is how I do his solids/breastmilk bottles for daycare.</p> <p>3oz bottle then solids<br /> 5oz bottle<br /> 3 oz bottle then solids </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-daycare#post-864587 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:27:12 +0000 hilsy85 864587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@butterbean: I would have them do the bottle first, and then at some point after do the solids...it can be right after or like an hour after, that's up to you/them...I think you just want him to still get most of his calories from milk/formula, so you want to offer that first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-daycare#post-864583 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:24:34 +0000 butterbean 864583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: thanks! so then do they eat bottle + solid during the same feed? i mean, for example, should he have his 4oz bottle first and then when he is done with that, eat his rice cereal after? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-daycare#post-864571 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:18:00 +0000 hilsy85 864571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age, solids are just in addition to breastmilk/formula, so I would definitely not drop any bottles. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-daycare#post-864536 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 06:53:47 +0000 butterbean 864536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 month old DS started solids this week and he will be starting daycare next week (sigh). I'm trying to figure out the best way to pack his stuff (bottles + solids).</p> <p>Right now, he gets 3 bottles of breastmilk (two 4oz and one 5oz) while i'm at work...do i still pack 3 bottles (same amount) when he goes to daycare? or do i drop a bottle and substitute for solids?</p> <p>any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated :) </p>
