How many meals a day?

Question

Hey everyone! So right now, my 10 month old is eating still 4 times a day (8oz bottle once in the morning and once before bed, then 2 times during the day she'll have about 6-8oz of solid foods with about 3-4oz of bottle) My question is when should I start doing just 3 meals a day with a small snack in between? What is everyone else doing?
Thanks!!

Answer

this is based in 6 Oz bottles. first bottle at 9 30 when she wakes up. an hour later we have breakfast - slices and dices of fruits (bananas,  apples,  strawberries,  watermelon etc). 12 pm second bottle. nap. after nap, lunch - any meat I cooked that day  ( chicken, ham, pork, etc), with soft veggies (carrots etc). 3 pm third bottle. nap. 6 pm forth bottle. 9 pm- last feeding of the night - 2 Oz of formula with organic cereal in a bowl with a dash of fruit,  then last bottle of the night. she gets her 8 teeth brushed after every solid and bottle she has. she's 10.5 months old, 23 lbs and 32 inches long.

Answer

I'm having trouble feeding him honestly. there are days when he eats three full meals and drinks plenty of milk and then there are days when he drinks a lot of milk, but refuses to eat. he is 18 pounds..which I think is a little light for his age.

My lo is 10 months and at his last chk up the doc said to start three meals a day so we do breakfast , lunch and dinner all baby food with mb some nibbles of what I'm eating and a 4-8 oz bottle with each and a bottle before bed ..so far seems to wrk

Answer

We do lunch (purée and dessert) after the first nap and a snack (fruit and yogurt) after the second. People keep asking as if we give him dinner but he eats so much during the day I have no motivation to do dinner. Plus this is all on his doc's advice.

Answer

My daughter still breastfeeds roughly 6-7 times a day. I'm very consistent at giving her breakfast but I've been slacking at lunch and dinner. I definitely feel like I should be doing more. I give her snacks through out the day of  fruit/puffs/veggies but I don't do a sit down lunch or dinner. Mainly because my husband works weird shifts so our house has no schedule. I bought stuff this morning so I'm going to start this week. At least with dinner. Then start putting lunch into the schedule.
