Makes me feel sooo much better since my DD's daily feeding is pretty much the same andalso not taking the mid morning bottle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-9mo-old-feeding-bottles-nursing-solids#post-2692794 Tue, 07 Feb 2017 09:01:02 +0000 RonjaL7 2692794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 9 month old son does the following (note he has always been on formula):</p> <p>6:30 - wake, 4-6 oz formula<br /> 8:00 - ~4 oz baby oatmeal with 1 scoop of formula<br /> 8:30-9:30 - nap<br /> 10:30 - 4 oz of formula (but recently he started to refuse this bottle)<br /> 12:00ish - puffs or yogurt drops, puree veggies or fruit<br /> 12:30-1:30 - nap<br /> 2:20 - 4 oz formula<br /> 5:00 - puree and teething biscuit or cheerios<br /> 6:30 - 4-5oz formula and bed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-9mo-old-feeding-bottles-nursing-solids#post-2692787 Tue, 07 Feb 2017 08:51:47 +0000 iluvboba637 2692787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@YogiRunner: thx. I try to get Dd to nurse as often as possible once I get home but I feel like my supply might be not be enough and that's why she still wakes at night. Gonna try to push more solids while I'm at work. </p> <p>@brownepiano: yes, I've stopped fighting bottles for a couple weeks. It just wasn't worth the stress. She's 75th percentile so I'm not too worried about that. gonna try to push more nutritious solids while I'm at work. </p> <p>@Cherrybee: our dd's are so much alike. I remember you responding to my thread about the sleep issues and now the bottle fight. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-9mo-old-feeding-bottles-nursing-solids#post-2691858 Sun, 05 Feb 2017 04:45:51 +0000 Cherrybee 2691858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are struggling with this too. My ten month old has gone on a liquids strike. She refuses most of her bottles, won't drink from a cup - I resorted to spoon feeding her water with her meals last week because she was drinking nothing! She loves her solids though. LOVES. She is currently only drinking a couple of ounces of milk max at each feed, then having 7oz at bedtime and 7oz in MOTN. I'm hoping it resolves soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-9mo-old-feeding-bottles-nursing-solids#post-2691776 Sat, 04 Feb 2017 16:32:52 +0000 brownepiano 2691776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby is just under 8 months, but he and his older brother were/are super into solids. DS 1 weaned at 10.5 months and I wouldn't be surprised if DS 2 does as well. </p> <p>He bf at 6:30/7, 10:30, 3, and 6:30, then usually sleeps all night. When he hits growth spurts he wakes at night again.<br /> He eats table food three times a day. We usually let him feed himself and then finish with some soon feeding.<br /> Since he is bf I'm not always sure how much he's getting. However when I pump he eats around 5 oz. So probably 20+ oz a day.</p> <p>I know every kid is different and doctors have varying opinions so take this however you want- I would try uping solids during the time she is away from you and stop fighting with bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-9mo-old-feeding-bottles-nursing-solids#post-2691753 Sat, 04 Feb 2017 14:47:25 +0000 YogiRunner 2691753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My guy is 9 months and I only breastfeed (no bottles) so no idea how much he's getting either. Right now I'm trying to get him his fill during the day so he doesn't wake up more than once at night. He nurses about every 3 hours during the day, even more often late afternoon/early evening. He has three solid finger food meals on top of that (no longer a puree fan!) including fruit, veggies, pasta and cereal. I hope that helps... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-9mo-old-feeding-bottles-nursing-solids#post-2691748 Sat, 04 Feb 2017 14:16:26 +0000 iluvboba637 2691748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: thx for sharing. I guess I'm concerned about my Dd bc since she's not taking bottles I have no clue how many ounces of bm she's taking in. </p> <p>@peaches1038: that's the thing, our pedi keeps stressing that bm should be the main source of nutrition still under a year so I'm concerned that she's not getting enough since her bottle strike. Thx for your response. </p> <p> @DesertDreams88: @pachamama: thx. that makes me feel a bit better that your Los only need about 10-12 ounces in bottles plus nursing. If Dd would take a 3-4 ounce bottle about 10am I would be thrilled. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-9mo-old-feeding-bottles-nursing-solids#post-2691726 Sat, 04 Feb 2017 12:48:31 +0000 DesertDreams88 2691726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much the same exact thing as @pachamama: . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-9mo-old-feeding-bottles-nursing-solids#post-2691696 Sat, 04 Feb 2017 10:27:15 +0000 pachamama 2691696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 9 months I nursed at 7am, he had a 5-6oz bottle at 10 and 1, nurse at 4, nurse to bed at 7, one MOTN feeding. Solids: oatmeal with pureed fruit, steamed vegs, a pouch, some of our dinner, animal crackers (daycare haha), some other random meat or snacks sometimes. Nothing too structured. I just didn't want to stress too much about it. Sometimes he would eat pretty much no solids! He went though a weird phase at 9m where he rejected solids for a while, an independence streak. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-9mo-old-feeding-bottles-nursing-solids#post-2691672 Sat, 04 Feb 2017 09:01:49 +0000 peaches1038 2691672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DS was that age he was nursing at wake up, had three 3-4 oz bottles at daycare, nursed when we got home at 430, at bedtime at 7 and at least once overnight. We did BLW and at that point, he was eating bfast and dinner but not lunch or snacks. He easily got the vast majority of his nutrients from bm<br /> ETA- I was pumping 2x/day at this point </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-9mo-old-feeding-bottles-nursing-solids#post-2691649 Sat, 04 Feb 2017 03:15:26 +0000 gingerbebe 2691649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost 9 month old boy. I mostly give pumped bottles of milk and nurse most often before bed and sometimes for comfort because DS got some teeth and is biting the crap out of me. He won't bite if he's sleepy or cuddly so I'll nurse him then. He also gets some formula depending on where I am in my pump schedule during the day.</p> <p>730am 6-ish ounce bottle of pumped breast milk<br /> 830am 2-4oz of baby food or yogurt<br /> *Sometimes nurses a little before nap at 10am<br /> 12pm 6-ish ounce bottle of pumped BM unless he nursed - then it's only like 4oz<br /> 1230pm - 2-4oz baby food<br /> *Sometimes nurses a little before nap at 230pm<br /> 430pm - 4oz bottle or a bit less if he nursed before his last nap.<br /> 530pm - dinner with family. Usually 4oz baby food.<br /> 730pm - nurses both sides or takes a 6ish ounce bottle of formula or pumped milk.</p> <p>Sleeps from 730-730.</p> <p>On days he's gotten all bottles he's averaging 22-24 ounces a day. Hungry day is like 28oz. He eats some of puffs and teething biscuits here and there but isn't super great at self feeding so he eats pretty chunky purees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-9mo-old-feeding-bottles-nursing-solids#post-2691644 Sat, 04 Feb 2017 00:21:09 +0000 iluvboba637 2691644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please tell me about how often and how much your LO eats. </p> <p>Short:<br /> I'm worried my Dd is not getting enough breast milk.<br /> Here is her schedule:<br /> 6:00 am nurse<br /> 8:00 oatmeal cereal mixed with 1 oz breast milk<br /> 10:00 1-2oz breast milk from a straw cup + some puffs or cheerios or diced fruit<br /> 12:00 2oz purée + diced veggie or steamed broccoli<br /> 1:30 nurse (this is when I normally get home from work and she's starving to nurse. I no longer pump at work at 9:30 am anymore to make sure she gets enough from me at this time)<br /> ~3:30 nurse<br /> 5:00 dinner usually table foods but sometimes 2oz purée<br /> 6:30 nurse then bed<br /> ~11:30 usually wakes to nurse<br /> Sometimes ~1:30 wakes to nurse<br /> ~3:30 usually wakes to nurse<br /> *she used to sttn but started reverse cycling. </p> <p>Long:<br /> I posted a few weeks ago about my struggle with getting my Dd to get back on the bottle after a two week break. She absolutely refused every bottle and sippy we offered including her normal bottle she's taken since birth. She will, however, drink breastmilk out of a straw cup/bottle (pretty much any straw cup or bottle) but she's not consuming enough from a straw cup. Since this battle she's started reverse cycling but I'm still worried she's not getting enough milk/nutrients. Tell me about your Lo's feeding. </p>
