Hi there,
As the title says- I'm not sure my 9 month old is getting enough milk. My HV is also off long term sick so I'm waiting to hear back from someone else from the team.
My DS has always been a rubbish sleeper but will go through phrases where we start to head in the right direction and then he does a massive u turn and is up a lot of the night.
Anyway, his eating routine looks like this-
7am- bf
8am- porridge/weetabix with fruit and made with 2 oz of formula
11am- formula- around 2-4 oz (I really have to battle with this.
12.30pm- lunch. Anything from soup and bread to avocado on toast. Lunch can be picky finger foods or a pasta with homemade sauce.
2.30ish- bf
3.30 snack (toast/fruit/cheese chunks/melty sticks)
5pm- tea- a good comfort food type meal like shepherds pie/ chicken stew/ chicken curry.
6 30pm- bf
10pm- formula- 6oz at the most.
I sometimes alternate the 11 and 2.30 between formula and bf. I'm trying to gradually add formula feeds in the day for when he goes to nursery.
I may be way off and be worrying he's not drinking enough milk but it just didn't seem much from me adding up the amount of formula?
Thanks!
