My 12 month old has just started nursery. We are not in the UK.
She is a crap eater and so still drinks a lot of formula. I do try to give her meals BEFORE formula now to ensure it's not a case of being full but she plays with food and hardly eats any of it which I don't think is that unusual for her age.
When she's at home she has:
A 5oz bottle after breakfast around 8.00, she drinks it off an on until about 10.00
A 7oz bottle with her nap, around midday, and after lunch.
A 4oz bottle around 4.00, after snack but before dinner
A 7oz bottle with bedtime around 7.30
Between 7-10 oz overnight.
So she's still drinking absolutely tons of milk.
Nursery say really they don't let kids have bottles after 12 months, only cups, but they're happy to support me for a while. They also feed her to sleep at nap like i do.
My question is what is your 12 month old's (or around that age)day like at nursery or childminder - are they using a cup for their milk? If so how often do they have milk? If they've always fed to sleep, how does that work with a cup? During a nursery day of say 9-5, how much milk are they drinking in that period? Are they really now getting their main sustenance from 3 meals a day?
I'm so lost.
