[Serene123]

So far Caitlyn is just breast whenever then meals at 8am, 2pm, 8pm. Should lunch be earlier? What times do you give meals at?

Sam has...

11.30 Milk
1.30 Lunch

6.30 Dinner
8.00 Milk

He sometimes has another milk feed either between lunch and dinner or before bed x

summer has breakfast at half eight, milk and cereal
dinner at 1 milk and veg
tea at 5 milk and veg
and her last bottle before bed

We're now:

Boob whenever
9am breakfast (half a jar of porridge mixed with a spoon full of fruit) and 3oz bottle (yes I'm back to topups)
1pm lunch (savoury half a jar) and 3oz bottle
5pm dinner (other half of the jar and half a jar of desert) and 3oz bottle
9pm 5oz bottle, then breast all night

Hopefully all those bottles will eventually turn into drinks after her meal and the last bottle will be the only bottle

Jasmine has 7oz bottle at 8am
Breakfast at 10:30am (usually weekabix or porridge)
bottle and lunch at 2pm
bottle at 4:30pm (around 3oz topup)
tea at 7:00pm
bottle at 8:30pm
Bed at night, if she wakes in the night she will have the breast.

Thanks for posting that - sounds quite similar to what we're doing...I'd been wondering if I needed to change anything x

Sounds ok for 6 months - Sam was having 2 meals a day at 6 months (breakfast and dinner) but they were bigger than half jar sizes

Now he has loads, and has been since he was around 7 months! It does vary a bit but usually something like...

8.30 Milk
10.30 Breakfast (cereal made with cows milk and mixed with fruit)
11.30 Milk
1.30 Lunch (finger foods then fruit puree and fromage frais, water)
4.00 Milk
6.30 Dinner (meat and veg or pasta, water or juice)
8.00 Milk
