Routine for 7mth

[milkyman]

Getting confused about when DS should have milk, food etc.. He still wakes in the night for 2 to 3 FF bottles what's your routine?

My son is 10 months but was on the same routine at 7 months.
He wakes up at 7 am and has a 7oz bottle of milk
8am 1.5 wheatabix with full fat milk
11am 5oz bottle
12:30 lunch-normally something like a Brie sandwich made of pitta bread
4:30 supper fish and veg, macaroni cheese, spag Bol etc
6pm 7oz bottle and bed, he then sleeps until 7am

Bump

Hi I think Florins routine sounds about right but I think my dd had a bottle mid afternoon as well about 2.30pm and some snacks, breadsticks, rice cakes, rusks etc if she seemed hungry after naps or her milk.

TBH my guess is your son is waking from habit and could be probably be night weaned. Does he have a dream feed? You could wake him about 10.30pm for a bottle and then aim to get him to go through til 5am ish with just water if he wakes up.

I think at this age they still recommend milk an hour before food.

So something like:
7am milk
8am breakfast
11 am milk
12pm lunch
3pm milk
5pm milk
6pm dinner

The 3pm milk smallest. Oh and milk before bed

When I weaned I used the gina ford book of weaning. Not because of her, but just so I could get ideas of amounts my ds should be eating, when he should have milk and how much etc etc. Worked wonders for us, I would really recommend it. Had some great recipes in there too
I think I got a copy off eBay for a couple of £

Mt ds is 6.5m and is in this routine:

8am porridge with full fat milk
9am 7oz bottle

1pm 8oz bottle

4.30ish dinner meat veg potatoea kinda thing still experimenting
5.30-6pm 7oz bottle

8.30pm 9oz bottle

He sleeps through the night .

I know the guidlines say milk before solids but it somehow works better for ds the other way around.

My DD is 8 mths and has been in this routine for about 6 weeks:

7.30 - breakfast - porridge/weetabix with cows milk

10 - 9oz milk

12.30 - lunch

3 - 9oz milk

5.30 - dinner

7 - 9oz milk

I always offer 9oz, but she may not always finish.

She sleeps through, but I don't put that down to anything I give her during the day - either they like to sleep or they don't. My DS is still a fitful sleeper and is nearly 4.

Thanks everyone, v helpful.

Mine is at 7.5 mo

Morning bottle
9am breakfast
10.30 bottle
12 lunch
2 bottle
5 dinner
7.30 bottle and bed

She did take any extra bottle at 7 mo either between lunch and dinner or at 6pm but has since dropped it.

My 7 month old DS is as follows.

6.45 160mls bottle
8 - baby porridge with mashed banana or fruit puree
10 bottle
12.30 mixed veg puree followed by fruit puree or mashed strawberry
1 - 1.30 bottle
4-4.30 bottle
5 veg puree
6ish bedtime bottle
9.30 pm dream feed

Timings are a bit random as things move around a bit and he seems to be moving to a new routine. He normally sleeps 6.30-6ish.

10 months old

8 am - bf
9am porridge/weetabix or toast
1030 bf
1230 lunch (usually sandwiches or pasta based with a yoghurt or fruit for afters)
3pm bf
530 tea - usually a dinner or main meal type meal with yoghurt or fruit for afters
7 30 - bf

Then usually 1130 bf, 1.30 bf, 530 bf .....

My 8mo DD routine is roughly this, give or take half an hour

6am bf
8am breakfast - porridge and fruit
10am bf and nap
12 lunch - pasta/veg and fruit/yogurt
2pm bf and nap
4pm tea - same as lunch
6pm bf and bed by 7
10pm dreamfeed
2am bf

My 7 month old doesn't really have a routine properly still. It seems to change after a week in one pattern... .

Anyway, currently (!!) he is waking in the night at 2-3am for a feed.

Then another bottle around 7-8am.
Breakfast an hour after the bottle roughly.
Another bottle around 12pm and then lunch is hit and miss but around 1pm. Still trying to get it in every day. Sometimes he is asleep though.
Another bottle at 4pm, then dinner around 5.30-6.30pm.
Bedtime bottle around 7.30pm.

He was going til 5am before a feed, then going back to sleep. But now we are going backwards. Again.

Oh.

This is from May.

7.5 months
We do

7am milk
8 breakfast
10.30 small milk( If has short nap and wakes early otherwise I'd has long nap skip this milk)
12 lunch
3 milk
5 dinner
7 milk
10pm milk

Was sleeping through to 7 - until it got hot!
