As the title says.. I have a newly 12 month old who has never been a big eater. Our schedule is swinging between 1 and 2 naps depending on when he wakes but this is the 2 nap schedule:
Wake 6.30-7.30am and have breakfast - porridge, or toast, or pancakes and fruit - he barely eats this. Maybe a mouthful or two?
8.30/9 - 8oz formula
9.30/10am - nap for either an hour and a half or 2 hours
Lunch - quesadilla, or rice, or leftovers, cucumber sticks, cheese, fruit - again - he barely eats anything, maybe a mouthful or two.
After lunch is another 8oz bottle of formula.
His second nap is either an hour or an hour and a half depending on times and what he had earlier,
When he wakes from that nap he gets a snack - which he eats some of (breadstick or a wafer or some Pom bears)
Dinner is 5.30pm ish and he has some of that, sometimes..
8oz bottle before bed and he goes down around 7.30/8pm.
We don't do whole milk yet as he got really constipated and stopped sleeping so haven't eased back into it yet but - can someone just explain what to do?! He isn't eating enough food to be full, so he needs the formula I think, but he isn't having whole milk yet and he rejected it when we tried it in cups and only drank it mixed into formula.
I am just floundering with food as he is growing and thriving but I don't know what to do when he doesn't eat but then devours a bottle of formula! Help!
