12 month old feeding schedule

[Namechange11223344]

Hi all
we have had basically the same schedule since 9months (we have two “breakfasts” as I have a formula/milk dodger)

9:30am - breakfast- 5oz cows milk (0-2oz drank always) + weetabix/porridge/readybrek mixed with fruit puree

12:30 - snack before nap - 2 small fromage frais

3pm - lunch - beans on toast/peanut butter on toast/ omelette/ scrambled eggs/ roast potato etc

5pm snack before nap - brekkie pouch/custard/rice pudding

7:30pm dinner - stew/shepards pie / chicken casserole / lasagna/ bolognese +mash or pasta + dessert- pudding pot / yougart

9:30pm - 5oz cows milk (Will drink most of this one) + weetabix/porridge/readybrek mixed with fruit puree

recently since teething at 10months she has been basically refusing getting very upset/anger lunch totally and maybe a couple spoons of dinner before doing the same

is this just a phase will this get better we worried about her not eating when she used to clear her dinner every day and atleast half her lunch :(

Hi OP, I have three DC, all good eaters, and they all had a fussy stage around 12-15 months. So I think it is normal! Try to act like you don't care whether she eats or not, as I think they tend to pick up on your feelings when you are desperate for them to eat. I'm sure she'll come through this phase as she has been a good eater in the past.

No real advice but I'm experiencing the same with my almost 12 month old. He used to eat everything and loads of it. Now after a few spoonfuls he pushes it away. Even things like yoghurt he normally loves. I think he's started teething with his molars so hoping it's a phase.

I've found it helps a bit to distract him. I let him play with some toys on his high chair and can usually get a few extra spoons in. Also give him some picky bits like cheese or blueberries to eat between spoonfuls seems to help too.

Does she not wake up very early?
There's a lot of food being offered in the afternoon/evening.
I never gave food at the same time as milk but my day also started and ended earlier and I didn't give solids at bedtime.

At age 1 they only need 300/350mls of milk and that amount includes milk in cereal and other dairy products.

Our day at 12 months was

7am - milk
8am - breakfast
10.30 - snack and water
12ish - lunch
2.30 - snack and water
5pm - dinner
7/7.30 - milk and bed.

Does she wake late? Dd is 7 now but from what I remember our timings were:

6:30am bf
7am breakfast
11:30am lunch
5pm dinner

I never did snacks as she’d pick all day rather than eating meals, but she did bf between meals still at that point.

Breakfast , lunch and dinner. You’re feeding them way too late.

@Cadela @DaughterNo2 @dementedpixie she doesn’t wake up till 9:30am and sometimes even 10am
so I just go with her on that and space the meals to go with , she was eating no problem till 10 months

What time are you putting her to bed?

I did breakfast, lunch before nap, dinner, bedtime milk. Occasional snack at toddler groups or out shopping but no set routine.

@DaughterNo2 she goes to bed with me at 10 as she will not sleep on her own in her cot 🤷‍♀️

12 months old and ur feeding them at 7.30 and 9.30……
at 12 months my kids were bathed or in bed.

@DaughterNo2 that’s good that , that worked for you and your lifestyle:)

But do you not think that this routine doesn’t work for your daughter any longer? It might work for you, but she’s being quite clear that it doesn’t work for her! Might be worth changing it up.

@Cadela im not sure now making her get up earlier would help with this issue? How is it clear that this is the issue for her ? Our day is based on her not me I work around her , our day 9:30-10 is no different from a 7:30-8 routine only that it’s not considered the norm ?
