BLW&mixed feeding

[HerMomminess]

I know a similar question has just been asked but slightly different scenario. DD1 is 5.5mo;ebf up to a month ago.BLW started about 2 weeks ago.

Currently:
Bf at about 0730 ish
'breakfast' wit me ie orange/banana
Sleep
FF (6 is oz) at 1200 ish
'lunch' with me eg avocado/whatever
FF ( 4-6 oz) at 1400 ish
nap-this varies
FF (6oz ish) at round 1630
'dinner' with us at 1830 ish
FF ??before or after dinner
bath
bf before bed

Question is: how may oz 'should' she be having as I have bf it s diff to know. She doesn' t seem to 'finish' her bottles but I know that isn' t the point.Sometimes a bit of a 'battle' but she seems to need a bit to get 'started'.

Hoewever she is sleeping loads better (no feeding/hardly waking overnight) and I am worried that my suppply is decreasing (which is the goal before returning to work!)so want to make sure she is getting enough calories.

She is defo taking in food IYKWIM.

Anyone?

a minimum of 20oz is recommended up to 1 year

I've been mixed feeding, though 90% boob, since birth, and now weaning my six-month old. What I do is BF him, then solids, then top him up with formula for the two 'meals' he does have. So it's roughly:
7am BF
10am BF, porridge, formula (2-3oz)
1pm BF + formula (3-4oz)
4pm BF, 'food', formula (2-3oz)
7pm BF + formula (5-8oz)
11pm dreamfeed of formula (6oz)

Sadly, at the moment this routine also includes
1am BF
4am BF
6am tear hair out

He's getting gallons of milk - nearly 20oz of formula, plus BF, so I'm hoping this is just a phase!

We meet again herbaceous.

Thanks for the replies.

Thing is she has started to sleep v well about 2 weeks ago just before sterting BLW. This continues. But I am worried if not enough calories in the day, she will wake up for bf...and the cycle starts again.

Indeed. I was thinking he's maybe waking due to not enough calories, hence giving him milk before solids. Not sure if it's the cause of his wakefulness or not, however - or if he's just using the boob to go back to sleep.

You seem to be doing fine! I'm sure if she wanted more calories, she'd take more formula.

Cheers H. Good luck with the nightshift over there!

And Seona for the advice-couldn' t remmeber the advised 'minimum'.
