I know someone posted something like this before but I was wondering if you could give me some help figuring out a good schedule for when to give Connor solids. I was giving them to him with his bottles but I think It may be too much at once.I just don't know when a good time to fit some solids in would be. Here is what our schedulel usually looks like:
6:00am wake up and Nexium.
6:30am 4oz bottle.
8:30am Nap (usually 30min to an hour)
between 9:30 and 10:00 am 4oz bottle
12:00pm Nap usually until about 1 if I'm lucky 1:30 then we have to leave to pick up mike from school.
1:45pm 4oz bottle
4:30pm Nap. Usually 30 to 40 min
5:15pm 4oz bottle
6:30pm bath
7:00pm 3oz bottle and zantac.
Any input would be appreciated:D

Emma is a year old, so I'm not sure if her schedule will help you, but here it is. She practically eats all day (small meals) b/c it takes her longer to eat b/c of her palate and she has never taken a huge amt. of formula at one sitting. She is a "snacker".

(Wakeup time can vary...between 8 and 9, but here's an example of her day)

8:00 Wake up, Prevacid
8:30 Breakfast, sippy of formula - 4 oz. w/Miralax
10:30 Snack, sippy of juice - 3 oz. w/Babydophilus
12:30 Lunch, sippy of formula - 4 oz.
Bottle, usually takes 4-5 oz.
Nap 1:00-3:00...sometimes longer
3:00 Snack, sippy of formula - 2 oz. w/Septra
6:00 Dinner, sippy of formula - 4 oz. w/ Miralax
8:00 Snack, sips of water out of open cup
Bath and Zantac
Bottle, usually takes 4-5 oz.
Read books and brush teeth (if she hasn't passed out on my shoulder already)
8:30 Bed

She usually gets in 2 servings of grains, 2 of vegetables, 2 of fruit, and maybe 1/2 of a serving of protein.

Her formula average is between 22 and 24 oz.

Hope this helps. :oops: It's probably not what you needed...I hope more people respond! :hello2:

I posted about this before... why not do solids at 7:30am, 2:30pm and then at 6pm before the bath. :)

I think I put my post in the Misc. forum... if you wanted to look for it.

**When I started giving K 3 meals, she cut out a bottle... so maybe you could shift bottles around and give fewer bottles and a bit bigger bottles.
