New update:

Daniel was miserable today. I don't know whether it's hunger or teething? I'm going to go back to 4 bottles tomorrow & see if that makes him happier.

Just an update from me...

I changed things a bit today to give Daniel his bottles after solids and also to cut down to 3 bottles instead of 4.

I kept his morning bottle first though as he's always really keen for that first thing at 6am.

So today he had:

6am bottle
7am breakfast
10am morning tea
11am lunch
12noon bottle
2:30pm afternoon tea
5pm dinner
6pm bottle

It went pretty well so I'll stick to this for a while and then eventually swap his breakfast to before bottle next.

Helpful thread to see what everyone else is doing.]]> Sat, 20 Mar 2010 22:38:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32337&PID=974158&title=solids-then-milk#974158 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32337&PID=973796&title=solids-then-milk#973796 Author: Nicola_1975

Hi, DS is FF too and we have just started switching things around a bit. Before it was always bottle then solids then I switched breakfast around and lunch has just followed naturally. I have always given him dinner at 6pm and a bottle at bedtime.

7.30 am Solids
8.30 am Bottle
12 noon Solids
1-1.30pm Bottle
4pm-ish Snack (sometimes bottle, sometimes solids)
6pm Solids
8pm Bottle

I have noticed that his bottles after breakfast and lunch are down to about 150ml and his night time bottle still needs to be about 250ml.

I think the main thing is to pay attention to bubs needs and don't be too strict - sometimes they will just want a bottle.

Good luck!]]> Sat, 20 Mar 2010 12:40:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32337&PID=973796&title=solids-then-milk#973796 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32337&PID=973621&title=solids-then-milk#973621 Author: CarrieMum

Im going through the exact same dilemma at the moment.
Daniel is 10 months old and still mostly having formula bottles before solids. He never finishes a full 200ml bottle though so he's probably only getting 600mls per day despite being offered 800mls.

Currently he has:

6am bottle
7am breakfast
10am bottle
10:30am morning tea
11:30am lunch
2pm bottle
5pm dinner
6pm bottle then bed.

I don't know how to go about changing any of this as he's so structured in his routine. Maybe I could start by cutting out his 2pm bottle and giving him a more substantial afternoon tea & water? Is this how its done?]]> Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:11:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32337&PID=973621&title=solids-then-milk#973621 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32337&PID=972406&title=solids-then-milk#972406 Author: NewPhoenix

We just adjusted it slowly. Started with having dinner at 5-5.30pm and then a feed at bedtime 6.30-7pm. Then started giving him lunch first a couple of weeks later, so he has lunch about 11.30-12pm and a feed before he goes down for his afternoon sleep. He still has a BF first thing in the morning and then breakfast around 8am, I don't see that changing any time soon as DH gets him up when he gets up for work and brings him to me in bed to feed so I don't have to get up straight away! and about a month ago he dropped his mid afternoon feed in favour of a snack and water. ]]> Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:48:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32337&PID=972388&title=solids-then-milk#972388 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32337&PID=972282&title=solids-then-milk#972282 Author: minik8e

I'm the opposite....the girls have solids before their bottles at lunch and dinner, and bottles first for breakfast. I talked to Plunket about it first, and they just said whatever works. The girls still have a full bottle after about half a jar of solids, so yeah.

At the moment it's bottle then breakfast, then lunch about 11.30am and bottle straight after, then dinner and bottle around 4-4.30pm (depending on them). They have a bottle just before bed as well.

ETA: They are FF as well.

His feeding routine is 1/2 lea way is had here too

7am bottle
8am piece of toast and some fruit
11am bottle
12pm lunch
3pm bottle
4.30ish dinner
6.30ish bottle and bed

if it was me i wouldnt stress...if hes happy doing what hes doing then just leave it as it is.

With my DD1 I just did it very very gradually, she was FF from six weeks old. There is no rush, especially if you are both happy with how things are for the moment - it also sounds like he is really good at communicating his needs to you (and you understanding them), so if you give it a couple weeks more he might show you he is ready to switch another one of his feeds around and you can go from there.

With DD2 so far none of her solids feeds really come before her milk feeds yet as she is still fully breastfed, but we are doing a lot of things differently with her than we did with DD1 - all feeds / sleeps / snacks on demand etc. ]]> Thu, 18 Mar 2010 10:27:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32337&PID=971528&title=solids-then-milk#971528 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32337&PID=971447&title=solids-then-milk#971447 Author: mummymonster

DS is FF. I just noticed that the plunket guidelines say that from 8mths he should have solids then milk.
He's on 4 bottles a day and he's already moved his before dinner bottle to after dinner (doesn't speak but somehow gets his own way). Breakfast and lunch he has his bottle first, and the 3pm(ish) feed doesn't come with food at all ATM.
I can see that I'll be introducing a snack at 3, and that can be before his bottle.

As for breakfast & lunch we've got a rhythm going and I can't imagine doing it the other way round.

He doesn't feed overnight at all, so his morning bottle is much appreciated, then we have toast together. I think if I faffed with breakfast before feeding him I'd have a riot on my hands.

He's really hungry by 11 so has a bottle, then I get solids ready and we have lunch together. He's just about to start daycare and they have lunch at 11:30 too, so I don't really want to mess that up and I don't think he could last till 11:30 without the bottle at 11.

How did other mum's switch the milk /solids order?]]> Thu, 18 Mar 2010 09:27:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32337&PID=971447&title=solids-then-milk#971447
