Do you feel like they spend half the day...

So I'm moving L and O to solids 3 times a day, and it already seem like they're in their highchairs all day! Looks something like this

7:00 Bottle in High Chair
8:00 Solids in High Chair
11:00 Bottle in High Chair
12:00 Solids in High Chair
3:00 Bottle in High Chair
5:00 Solids in High Chair
6:00 Bottle in High Chair

Am I missing something??? What are you doing?

I was doing solids/bottle in the same sitting for dinner, but they seem to get too full and not finish, thus I moved solids to 5 and bottle at 6, bed at 7:00.

 

Our feeding schedule looks almost like that except that I use either bouncy chairs or boppys on the floor to feed. I do feel like all I do is feed children.

We did bottles on the floor in boppies, and then walking around when they started walking. Food in the high chair. I still feel like we spend a load of time in our high chairs though. :blink:

 

Our schedule is pretty similar to yours. And yes, they feel like they are eating all day long. It is kind of a pain to have to clean up so much.

Mine are 9.5 months old.

 

I can kind of relate... although I'm nursing 3x a day and we do that in bed. They get meals (breakfast/lunch/dinner) in the highchair, but snack are usually outside or somewhere else if we're out and about.

But I know what you mean, there is a lot of feeding going on... I've felt my life is all about food for awhile now, especially when I also consider the time I spend cooking, cleaning up after meals, feeding myself, and getting groceries! Not to mention meal planning.

I was doing the same amount of feedings at that age although, like pp's, we were doing bottles on their boppies on the floor. It DOES seem like they are always in there though. It gets better!!

 

hahaha I felt the same way around that age, now they eat a little bit faster so it's not so laborious....

 

I'm here with you all too! Either feeding babies or putting them down for a nap!
