I need suggestions!

My twins will be 11 months next week (9 months adjusted) they eat at 6, 9 between 12-12:30, between 3-4 and bedtime which is at 7 sometimes they drink all there bottle...sometimes not.....Im trying to give them more food, but they dont like much....so Im limited for now.....if you would , which one would you take away....normally they have been eating pretty good all day then at night time not really drink

 

We're a lot older and my boys still eat at all those times. I taught them to sign "eat" and "milk" and they ask for it at those times. Have you tried doing milk only after they eat solid food? That seemed to help my boys eat more of their food, though it's still a struggle.

 

My girls were more than happy to 'drink' all their meals at that age. So I had to start limiting their formula in order for them to actually be hungry enough to drink. Our schedule at 11 months was:

7:30am- bottle
9ish- breakfast- oatmeal, yogurt, fruit
12ish- lunch followed by a bottle
4pm- snack with a sippy of formula (and then I switched that to water)
7pm- dinner
8pm- bottle

 

Which bottle would we take away? I'd just not worry about the baby food, mine never really took to it.

 

I wouldnt take any away for now. That is exactly what we were doing at that age. They will eventually drop a bottle themselves.

 

THank you , I just always feel Im doing something wrong or nothing right...

I think they'll let you know which bottle to drop. My girls stopped drinking their bottles when we were giving them more solids. That's when we decided to drop one of their bottles. We dropped the lunchtime bottle and replaced it with a meal. They aren't really interested in their bottles anymore. They'd much rather eat solids. If they are drinking their bottles, stick with it.

 

I agree, they will let you know which bottle they are ready to drop. Ours let us know by just not taking certain bottles. We were giving bottles at 7:30 am, 11 am, 2pm, 5pm, 7:30 pm-they eventually lost interest in the 11 and 5 bottles and we stopped those ones.
