1 yr old feeding schedule..

Now that my twins are transitioning to milk and table foods I need to change their feeding schedules around a bit.

Can you ladies give me your 1 year olds feeding schedule.

TIA

1 yr old feeding schedule..

DD has been completely on table foods since 10 months and we transitioned her to milk at 11/11.5 months. She wakes up around 6AM each morning and is in daycare full time Monday thru Friday. We keep her on the same schedule on the weekends to maintain consistency. Here is her current schedule:

7:15AM: Light snack at daycare when she is dropped off to hold her until breakfast. Usually some Cheerios or yogurt and a sippy cup of water.

8:30AM: Breakfast with sippy cup of milk (4-5oz)

11:30AM: Lunch with sippy cup of milk (4-5oz)

12-2:30PM: Nap

3PM: Snack with sippy of water

5:30: Dinner with sippy cup of milk (4-5oz)

7PM: Bedtime

Oy, were all over the place. I'm happy if this kid just eats. He's like a bird. He's more of a snacker then one to sit and have a meal. Breakfast is the only meal I can count on.

Milk 630
Breakfast 730
Nap 10am
Lunch (which he rejects 90% of the time). 11ish
Dinner 6pm again barely eats
Milk 7pm

I now just give snacks throughout the day which I don't even schedule. I basically offer him something almost every hour to get him calories (fruits, veggies, breadsticks, puffs, chicken nuggets, whatever....).

3 meals a day and snacks as needed in between. Milk only in the AM and PM and water in between.

Re: 1 yr old feeding schedule..

7am- puffs and water..sometimes they do want milk but we offer water and snack first.
8am-8:30am drop off at parents and breakfast
11:30-12pm: lunch and snack
3pm they usually want milk
5pm dinner and snack
7:30 milk before bed.

Some days they drink a little milk and others a lot more.
One of my twins has been giving us a hard time with table food...any food for that matter. She only wants milk or snacks like puffs, shredded cheese and yogurt melts. Maybe I can sneak in a few spoonfuls of fruit but she pushes it away. I don't know if its teething or a phase. Sometimes if I put some shredded cheese on her tray she'll eat that and whatever else I put in front of her. Lately all she seems to want is milk though.

Re: 1 yr old feeding schedule..

I personally let my children lead their schedules and shift it when they're ready. My DS was on milk 3 times/day at 1 year old. Right now DD is 1 and still on 4 times/day. She gets cranky without it, and it's not like I'm feeding her a cup of sugar, so I don't worry about it. Her basic schedule is:

Wake up - milk
7:30ish - breakfast
mid-morning snack
Lunch w milk or water
mid-afternoon snack w milk or water
Dinner
Bedtime milk
