Feeding at 9 months

I'm just seeing what everyones feeding schedule was like at around 9-10 months since we are weaning them off the bottle for their big 1 year old debut in a few months :lol:


8:00 AM : Bowl of oatmeal & 4oz
Noon : Stage 3 jar & 4oz
4:00 : Stage 3 dinner & 4oz
7:00 PM : 6oz bottle


My pedi said anything less than 24oz at this age is all they should be consuming. Of course their is finger foods in there (thank you puffs!) Does that sound about right? Let me know!

 

I have no idea. I'm anxiously awaiting to hear what others are doing. I was under the impression they should still be getting more from their bottles and less in solids. But mine have been fighting their bottles lately. And I am thoroughly confused about when and how to start thinking about dropping bottles. Here's what they're doing, based on the amounts they've been doing this week (we give them 4 8 oz bottles a day, but they rarely finish any of them now)...

8:30 I'd say they do 6.5 - 7 oz's here (I'm surprised they're not even finishing this bottle lately)
10:00 breakfast - they each do 1/4 to 1/3 cup of cereal and they split a stage 2 fruit
12:30 anywhere between 6 - 8 oz's - probably closer to 6
2:00 lunch - started this a week or two ago and still working on it - but I usually give them 2 stage 2 containers to share (a fruit and veggie)
4:30-5:00 (depending how long their nap goes) - 6 - 8 oz's - again, closer to 6
6:45 - dinner - they generally split 2 stage 2 containers again and I give them some puffs.
8:00 - They used to finish this bottle pretty easily, but lately it's 6 or 7 oz at best

All in all they do about 24 - 30 oz a day and 3 meals a day of approx 3-4 oz of food. I've really got to get going with the finger foods though. So far they're only doing puffs.

 

We go to the pedi tomorrow and i cant wait cause i dont know what im suppose to feed them! but right now our schedule looks like this...

8:00 Wake and bottle 6-8 oz usually more around 6
8:30 3 oz fruit and cereal (not sure how much i just pour it now....probabl around 10 tbsp to share..
10:00 nap
12:00 6-7 oz bottle
12:30 Solids split about 6 ounces of fruit or veg
2:00 Nap
4:00 6-7 oz bottle
4:30 solids 6 ounces veg
7:30 6-7 oz bottle
8:00 bed

I have not started meat yet and im gonna ask tomorrow how much or what a day they should be eating...its so confusing...ill let you know if i find out something new.. GL Jamie

 

My twins will be 10 months on Saturday. We just went for a visit to see the public health nurse who is also the lactation consultant in our town.
She said at this point with a few rare exceptions, anything I can eat they can eat too! She said if its something like veggies just cook em a little longer and make them softer. If its meat, just cut it up in very tiny pieces. So thats what we are doing. Everything we are eating they are having too.

Yesterday in addition to breastmilk/formula, we had:

Brkfst : bagel with cream cheese and some fruit
lunch : chicken strips, carrots and brocolli
snack: yogurt & graham cracker
Dinner: tacos

I just cook everything soft, and cut everything tiny. Mine are more into self feeding than spoon feeding and she said thats a completely normal stage of development & independance.

7am - milk
8am - brkfst
9am- nap
11am- milk
12 lunch
1 nap
3 milk & snack
6 dinner
7 bath & milk
8 bed

So milk 4-5x a day, 3 meals, 1-2 snacks, 2 naps and a partridge in a pair tree LOL

 

Mine don't have much in term of finger foods yet... I tried two new things this week, and it ended up with DS vomiting after eating bananas (he gagged) so I'm holding off for a bit longer before I try something new... they don't like chunky stage 3s either.

7am 6oz bottle
8am stage 2 jar with 2 big spoons of yogurt and 3 tbsp of cereal (they share)
11am 6oz bottle
12.30pm stage 2 jar with 3 tsp of cereal (shared), 6-7 cheerios each
3.30pm 6oz bottle
5pm stage 2 jar with 3 tsp of cereal (shared), 6-7 puffs each
6.30pm 5oz bottle (they rarely finish it)

 

My girls are 9months old today!! Were in the early stages of "finger foods" and they dont really care for the really chuncky stage 3 food but i do give stage 2-3 jars.

7am-4-6oz milk
8:00- cereal and fruit/water w/sippy
9:30 nap
11am-4-6oz
12:30-lunch and a snack(puffs or crunchies)
1:30ish Nap
2:30 snack-puffs or cottage chesse
3pm bottle
5pm dinner-and some puffs
7pm bath
7:30 bottle and bedtime.

I too am trying to be done with bottles, they've been introduced to sippys for aboyt 4 months now only at meal times, so hopefully by 10month I can slowly fade out bottles.

 

My boys are also starting to loose interest in their bottles. I BF DD so I have no experience in dropping bottle. Here's are schedule (I have large boys 24lb and 22 lb)

7am - wake 8oz bottle
8am - solids 4oz-6oz each of stage 3
9am-11am nap
11am 6-8oz bottle
12noon solids 6oz each of stage 3
1pm-3pm nap
3pm bottle 6-8 oz
5pm solids 6oz of stage 3
6pm bath
7pm 8oz bottle and bed

The 11am bottle is the one that they're really loosing interested in. They also eat puffs and bananas but they're still having a hard time with the gagging.
