Help with 11mo feeding schedule!!
My almost 11mo is doing crappy with solids and I’m wondering if it has anything to do with how I’m offering bottles. Right now he gets about 30-32oz of formula a day. I got stuck in a feed to nap schedule bc those 2 bottles were the only bottles I could get him to drink his full 6oz. He gets pretty fussy nearing the 3hr mark for feeds but then doesn’t drink his whole bottle.
Of note: He does good with BLW and loves to pick up and put food in his mouth and try but he is not swallowing much at all. He still tongue thrusts most food out - not so much gagging. He has never liked purées or yogurt consistency.
His schedule is :
5:30-6:00 : wake up (on his own)
6:15 : offer 6oz (usually takes 3)
7:15ish : offer breakfast
8:45 : 6oz bottle (drinks all)
9:00 : nap
11:45-12:00 : offer 6oz (usually takes 4)
1:00 : offer lunch
2:00 : 6oz bottle before nap (drinks all)
5:00 : offer 3oz (usually drinks all)
6:00 : offer dinner
7:00 bedtime : 7oz bottle (drinks all)
I know food before 1 is just for fun but he just is not swallowing much at all!!! He has a lot of interest but doesn’t want to swallow. I haven’t reached out to his PCP for early intervention bc he has interest but I’m wondering if I need to cut out the afternoon bottle OR cut down on the volume offering.
Please help!!!
