Feeding schedule on 2 naps

Ka

What kind of feeding schedule do you follow if your baby's on two naps a day? Today might be our first day with only 2 naps and I'm feeling like he's going to be missing a feeding (bottle) since I feed him after every wakeup. So we did an extra meal with solids at lunchtime. We usually follow:

Wakeup, bottle

Play

Breakfast

Nap 1

Wakeup, bottle

Play

Sometimes lunch

Nap 2

Wakeup, bottle

Play

Nap 3

Wakeup, dinner

Play

Bath

Bottle

Bedtime

So overall we have 4 bottles about 6-7 ounces each.

So we have the same schedule. I had the same fear because he would be dropping a feed. What i did was now maybe 20-30 minutes before naps I’ll give him 3 oz for his first nap and 4 oz for his second (he eats 7oz per feeding) so that way he’s getting in another 7 oz for the day.

Interesting! I'll have to try that. I didn't do that before his 2nd nap so I'm nervous he'll wake up hungry early 😬

It’s also helped him to sleep longer during naps too 🤷‍♀️

I use a pretty set feeding schedule of bottles at 7:15ish, 11, 3, and 7:15. Then my daughter works her naps and snacks into the times in between. Sometimes the bottles get pushed back if she’s still napping, but we just kinda play it by ear 🤷🏻‍♀️ that being said, she usually does 3 naps 😬

I feed twice between naps since her wake times are longer. When she wakes up I wait 10 minutes from when she wakes up and give her her first bottle which is usually 5-6 oz. Then 30-40 minutes before her nap I’ll give her another bottle. She is eating purées and oatmeal after her bottles but not too much yet. Her wake time is 3 hrs between naps.
