What is your 9 months old routine like?

[MrsT&Ben]

My daughter is still pretty much reliant on milk at 9 months.
Her daily routine is as follows all be it very loosely!
Wake up between 6.30 & 7.30
Milk 1/2 an hour after getting up
Nap 2 hours after wake up
Offered breakfast of baby porridge or fruit (rarely eats mostly spits all over me!)
Milk around 11 am
Occasionally given lunch of bread and cheese or toast etc
Nap at 2pm
Milk at 3pm (depending on if it's a school run day or not)
Dinner at 5pm (which she is very good at eating and nearly always finishes)
Milk and bed between 6.30 and 7pm.
I do try and offer finger foods at meal times which she likes but I don't give her any snacks.
What does your Los routine look like?
I know with my son he was on 3 meals a day with snacks and only milk in the morning and before bed. He was easy to wean. I feel like I am failing my daughter!!!

Sienna just turned 10 months but hers is:

Wake around 7.30am, drinks 7oz bottle
Breakfast and drink around 8.30am
Get washed/dressed after breakfast then play
Nap 10.30-12
Lunch at 1pm
Snack around 3pm (Generally some fruit and a yoghurt)
Nap 4-5.30pm
Dinner when she wakes
Snack at 6.30/7pm
Ready for bed at 8/8.30pm and drinks an 8oz bottle.
Bed for the night after milk

She will sometimes have a bottle instead of a snack around 3pm but seems to be dropping this bottle more and more often

8:30 - wake up and nurse
9- very small breakfast. Some fruit or cereal but she usually will only have fruit
11:00 am - nurse
11:30 - nap
12 - lunch (she eats quite a bit - all finger foods. Fruits, veg and protein or grain depending when her breakfast was)
2:30/3 - nurse
4:00 pm - nap
5:30/6 - supper of protein, veg and grains (all finger foods usually)
7:00 - nurse
9:00 - nurse and bed

This is very loose and it varies a lot but as you see she still nurses a lot! She sometimes wants more milk than this. She also nurses multiple times in the night.

My baby is only 7 1/2 months but I just wanted to say I wouldn't worry too much if I were you! Every baby is different They say solids are only for fun in the first 12 months and milk should be their main form of sustenance so I'd say you're doing fine

Some babies just love their milk!

My eldest relied on milk until she was around 13 months, she had no interest in food at all!

 

[Countrygirl13]

Up at 6.30ish.
9oz milk around 7am
Nap at 9.30 for 40 mins
9oz milk when she wakes up around 10.30
Lunch at 11.30-12ish, small amount of pureed veg, fruit then finger foods- apple slices etc
Milk at 1 pm, 9oz
Nap around 1pm, 1 hr if we are lucky
More milk at 4ish, 9oz
Tea at 5.30 more puree with some finger foods. No more than one ice cube of veg and fruit.
9oz of milk and bed around 6. 30 ish or later depending if she has a third nap at 4pm!

Actually we are delighted that she is eating this much. We've plonked food infront of her since six months and it has mostly been refused. She prefers milk and will refuse most foods even when she is clearly very hungry. Wondering when she might eat more and drink less....

Gracie is 10 months old next week but was 4 weeks early. This is loosely her routine...

7am wake up
7.15am 8oz bottle of milk
9.30am - 12 nap
12.30 lunch
3pm 8oz bottle of milk and sometimes she'll nap for an hour
4.30pm teatime
7pm 8oz bottle
7.30pm brush teeth, story and bed

We do BLW and she loves her food. For breakfast she usually has porridge cakes or toast and some fruit, lunchtime she has a sandwich and cucumber sticks followed by a yoghurt and then for tea she has whatever we're having usually something like chicken stir fry with lots of veg. She snacks on rice cakes and blueberries.

Your daughter sounds fine to me x

I just took my lo to the doctor for a check up and they asked how much he was eating. I said that he takes 4 6 oz bottles per day. They said that is what they would expect to see at this age.

At first he was not eating as much so I was told to decrease the amount of formula he was getting. Once I decreased the formula (to the 6 oz) he started to eat more. As the food increases and he is consistently eating through the day, I will drop one of the 4 bottles but stick with the 6oz.

Keep in mind that they still have 3 months to go on formula so there is plenty of time.

Mine is 11 months old now, but he's had the same routine since he was 9 months old. He loves his food so the quantities are a bit larger than other babies his age.

6am: 6oz milk in bed, usually falls back asleep after having it.
7.30am: wash and change, plays with his dad
8.15am: eat a big bowl of oatmeal with one banana or scrambled eggs
9.30-10.30am: nap and then dropped off at grandma's by 11 while I work
11am: snack, usually an apple or handful of crackers with cheese
2pm: comes home and I give him a quick shower
2.30pm: 6oz milk and nap for 2 hours
5pm: snack, usually mixed veggies or toast with peanut butter
5.30pm: we go to the park to run around for an hour
6.30pm: dinner, usually brown rice with chicken, spinach or lentils
7.30pm: bath, free play with dad and grandpa, then story and song
8.15pm: 6oz milk and sleep
