Working Moms - how do you plan on doing solid schedules?!

Question

Hey moms! So here's our during the week schedule for LO who is about to turn 6 months:

Wake up 6:30, nurse, dressed, out the door with mom by 7:10 and daycare by 7:30
Picked up at 5:15 nursed and play then bedtime is 7 pm (baths occasionally, she has severe eczema and less water the better)

I've been occasionally doing some solids at night when we have dinner if she acts interested - so far has hated everything 😂 but when the heck do you do breakfast and lunch?! I mean lunch obviously would be at daycare and I would say at noon but should I do breakfast there too? I don't want to wake her up earlier just to feed her at home.

And are you doing 3 meals? Or just one? When do you start doing 3? Lawd I thought learning breastfeeding and that schedule was hard 🙄

Here's a pic because I'm obsessed with her

Answer

I work and my husband stays home with our son. At this point we are just letting him try foods, and haven't done a specific meal. We give him some purée to try when it is about halfway between bottles. That way he might be a little hungry, and there is still some time to digest before the next bottle. I feel like mornings are super busy, so we will probably just do one or two meals for a while.

Answer

I could have written this myself! I was actually having this discussion in my mind last night while nursing. Haha! I guess the best thing would be to snack on solids after the get home nursing and bedtime. Maybe once they're a little more used to it, send some to daycare. I think they're supposed to be on mostly milk for a good while still. Good luck! Well figure it out! :)

Answer

I'm clearly no expert but I don't think we have to do "meals" just yet since they are still primarily on milk. We do a veg or fruit puree in between a feeding usually afternoonish n than oatmeal in the evening. I have the same concern though. I return to work next month and eventually will have to figure out when and where breakfast will take place. Once you get the hang of one thing we're on to the next lol
