Different feeding schedules

I have almost 10 month old b/g twins. My boy loves to eat (over 25 lbs already)and is very easy to feed. YES!!!! My girl is not easy to feed and never has been(born with reflux, but better now). I believe she eats like I do, little and a snacker.

Well we got into a good schedule of feeding.
7 am bottle
7:30 breakfast
11 am bottle
12noon lunch
3:00 pm bottle
4:30 dinner
6:15 bedtime bottle

For about the past week or so, she has changed. She doesn't want to finish bottles, doesn't eat a lot of food, picky about what she will eat, then sometimes eats a little bit more of food. Overall she is very unpredictable. UGH!! So I am guessing I just need to go onto 2 different feeding schedules (YUCKY!!!! I am not happy about this)

Yesterday she didn't want her 3 pm bottle. Today she didn't want her 11 am bottle, and now doesn't want her 3 pm bottle, but drank about 5 oz just before nap about 1:30. I don't get it.

I am not too concerned that she isn't getting enough food, I think she is and I do just feed her when she seems to want it.

I so hope this is a phase, oh please oh please. I already feel like I am feeding these guys all day and now this.

Does anyone have experience with this? Should this be something I should be concerned about? She just saw the doctor 2 weeks ago and is making great weight gain. Any advice would be great???!!!!

Maybe she is getting ready to move from bottle focused meals to food focused. I don't know I just wish they could tell me already. As I am sure many of you have (or do) feel.

Thanks for listening. Done venting for now!

 

Hiya, I have NO advice, I just wanted to say that I am on the EXACT same feeding schedule - Except my boys have the bed bottle at 7pm.. Just curious, how much do your little ones sleep? 2 or 3 naps?

 

They take 2 naps of at least for an hour, the morning one is usually an hour and half sometimes 2 hours.

 

My guess is she's starting to cut back on the bottles, mine started not finishing random bottles around that age too and I cut back to 3 bottles a day.

You could either try giving her less in her bottles, or drop the 3pm bottle and turn it into a solids snack. Are you offering sippy cups? I recommend getting them started on sippy cups, then you can use sippy's for snacks, and it'll make the transition off of bottles a bit easier/quicker for you.

By that age mine were pretty proficient at the soft spout sippy's (I liked the munchkin ones the best), now they'll take soft and hard spouted ones without a problem.

 

Thanks, I will try that tomorrow!
