My DS is 9 months old and after many stops and starts with weaning, we are now on 3 small meals a day.
However, with 3 meals a day and 4 bottles of milk, I seem to forever be warming milk/food up, waiting for it to cool down, preparing finger foods or feeding him - is this right?
An example of his day:
7am - bottle (will drink 9oz)
8am - breakfast - about 6 dessertspoons of cereal
11am - bottle (approx 7oz)
12 - lunch - usually finger foods (tbh, he doesn't eat much of it, just plays with it and throws it on the floor) followed by a pudding (yoghurt, fruit puree etc)
3pm - bottle (7oz)
5pm - tea - about 4 dessertspoons of savoury plus some chopped up fruit (again most of the fruit goes on the floor)
7pm - bottle (9oz)
Is this how it should be? He seems to be drinking tons more milk than other babies his age.
Also, it makes it difficult to go anywhere as there always seems to be a 'meal' time (or nap time) whenever we want to go out.

Help - am I doing this wrong or is it meant to feel like it is permanently 'meal' time??
