Feeding routine for 10 month old

[excitedforbaba]

Dd 10 months is currently suffering from trapped wind pains at night which is wakening her up. I am trying to bring her bed time bottle back a bit to late evening and just giving her a small supper of porridge or cereal in the hour before bed.

What does your 10m old baby eat in a day and what sort of time scale.

A typical day for dd is:

7.30/8am 9oz formula
9.30 breakfast porridge
Nap
Some snacky foods such as pancake or toast carrot sticks a baby biscuit
12.30/1pm lunch with a yogurt or fruit
3pm afternoon 9oz bottle
Some more finger foods like little bits of fruit or a rice cake
6 pm start of bottle & porridge for bed

It sounds like loads but she will happily eat all that and look for more!

Can anyone recommend altering her feeding routine to help her sleep through and not have wind pains

Thanks

My twopence worth

1. seems like a lot of porridge and carbs in one day

2. little veg

3. huge size bottles

I think she might have trapped wind from lots of carbs like oats/ toast/ pancakes etc and less fruit/ veg so the solid carbs are causing a slight blockage hence she gets wind trapped behind it.
The large bottles will also be doing the same as a lot of air can be taken in at once.

I would try and vary diet and spread it out a little. Formula should be easily digested so I doubt the time of that is an issue, more the quality

Try something like:

7.30am 6oz formula
9am porridge with Apple/ pear purée ( helps digestion)
Mid morning - beaker with few ounces milk plus fruit
1pm lunch - try to include things like various beans and veg ( a soup maybe). With yogurt
6oz bottle of milk before nap
Beaker of milk and raw veg/ cheese/ houmous as snack
6pm dinner - a bit of whatever you have, not porridge again
7pm bottle 6oz

Sounds like too much porridge and not enough actual food to me

Does she have a meal at dinner time (5/6pm ish)?

Thank you all for your replies!

No we hadn't been doing dinner at 5/6pm as with dps shift patterns its usually after she goes to bed when we eat hence giving her a supper.

Lunch is anything from a chicken dinner with veg, butternut squash & veg soup, chicken curry, beans potatos etc

Will definitely try reducing the bottles down from 9oz, getting her to take milk from a beaker is proving quite difficult at the moment but she is getting better at it.

Art & Co I'm going to try your schedule for a few days and see if that makes a difference. Give her a lighter lunch of soup or similar and a slightly heavier evening tea rather than the supper?

Thanks again

At 10 months, my eldest did something like

Up at 6.30am and 6oz of formula
Breakfast around 7.30 - toast, cereal, pancakes, eggs or whatever and some fruit
Nap around 9ish
Morning tea at 10.30
Lunch at 12.30 - sandwiches, picnic lunch, soup etc and some formula if I could convince her
Afternoon nap at 1.30
Afternoon tea at 3
Dinner at 5 - just normal dinners like pasta, fish, etc. Usually whatever we'd had the previous evening
Then bath, 6oz formula, before in bed for 7

Oh, and I had an odd baby who couldn't drink from a bottle or regular sippy cup, but went from breast to a straw cup when she weaned herself. A straw cup was a winner, and it's still her milk cup at almost 2 (even though she can drinking perfectly well from a regular cup).

Well the 6oz bottle was drained this morning and she was fine no crying for more! She had her porridge with apple this morning although she only took half of it because she was wrecked after bring up for 2hours chatting last night

She is currently sat in her high chair with a little cup of milk covered in cheese cubes bits of banana & a quarter of a pancake! But she seems quite happy with that!

Lunch will be veggie soup with a yogurt for dessert. Carrot sticks pear & rice cake as a snack later with more milk in a cup

And tonight she's having tea rather than supper! Although I'm not expecting sleep miracles just yet!
