Hi there,
DD is 8 months old, this is an average day:-
6.30 wake up & have 7oz milk
Sometimes a nap before breakfast
9am breakfast (porridge or weetabix with fruit puree & 2oz milk mixed in)
10.30/11 another nap
12pm lunch - finger foods like breadsticks & houmous or cream cheese sandwiches with fresh fruit/veg sticks.
2.30/3pm - 5oz milk
Another nap
5pm - dinner - usually, if I'm honest, 1/2 an Ella's kitchen pouch(!) she's quite good with lumps so we're on stage 3 food & it's going well. Followed by yoghurt & fruit puree mixed in.
Sometimes another nap!!
6.45 bath
7/7.30 7oz bottle & bed. Then she sleeps straight through.
So.... Am I doing it right?? Should she really just have 1 nap in the morning before lunch & then another in the afternoon? When does napping stop? & do they just stop being tired or do u actually try to keep them awake?
Also, milk feeds, I guess the first to go is the 2/3pm bottle, followed by the first bottle of the day & eventually the bedtime bottle.... When do u drop the feeds?
Just when you think you've mastered one thing... It all bloody changes!!!
