Meals and bottles

Hi I’m just curious in what others food/milk routine is like. I’m finding it difficult fitting in 3 meals and 3 bottles a day, just seems like she’s constantly eating/drinking. Also since offering her third meal (added in lunch) she’s not drinking as much milk and is on around 20oz a day

It’s really hard and tight here too. Very strict schedule that often leaves us stuck inside. X

We have;bottle at 7, then breakfast & 5 once’s at 10/11 then next 3/4 hours would be lunch & dinner each with a bottle around 9ish bottle and if awake another bottle around 11.30 A early morning feed at 4am ish

My LG has 3 meals and 3 bottles, her routine is: 7:30am 5oz bottle 8:30am breakfast Nap 11:30am lunch 2pm 5oz bottle Nap 5pm dinner 7pm 8oz bottle Bed

It's so hard! I'm in the trial and error phase.

My LB has always been a small drinker, solids has made it so much worse! 7am - bottle (only has 3 oz) 8am - breakfast 11am - lunch 12pm - bottle (5oz) 3:30pm - bottle (5oz) 5pm - dinner 7pm - bottle (2-3oz) Bottle around 1-2am (5oz)

I give bottle (210ml) in the morning then 10 is breakfast of porage with fruit , 2 and 5 is meat with veggies and 8 milk again and bed , I do make another bottle if she wakes up in the night .. usually prepare all meals when waking up before breakfast so could go for a walk after breakfast

Mine has 3 meals and 4 bottles. A bottle after waking, breakfast an hour later, nap, another bottle after waking, lunch an hour later, nap, bottle after waking, dinner 1/2 hours later then bottle before bed

We are transitioning to 3 bottles a day as she wasn't drinking her milk in the afternoon and bedtime. So we now have a bottle when she wakes, then breakfast within the hour. Then she has lunch at about 12, with a bottle about half hour later. Then dinner at about 4.30ish and her bottle before bed at 6.30pm. I think it's quite normal for them to reduce milk intake once they are on 2-3 meals x

If she has a night feed it’s solids first 1/2 hour after waking e.g 7am then milk before first nap at 9am. Milk at 12 & 3, tea at 5 and milk before bed at 6.30/7. Will need to rethink once we add lunch but I’ll probably just drop the 12 milk and replace with solids

Since offering lunch she is now refusing her dinner and being fussy with milk, so I am going back to what I was doing originally, which is porridge at 7:30am, bottle at 9am, fruit pouch and small snack at 12pm and a bottle at 1pm, dinner at 4pm and bottle at 7pm 🥰
