Please share your 1 yo feeding schedule after the transition to milk...

I'm drawing a blank about what we did with ds 1...we are starting ds 2 on milk soon, and currently this is his schedule..
Bottle
Breakfast
Bottle (before nap)
Lunch
Bottle (before afternoon nap)
Dinner
Bottle
Bed

Obviously I won't be giving him 4 milk bottles a day...
He does take a water sppy throughout the day, so I'm thinking we should start by cutting out the before nap bottles, or one of them for now. I really have no recollection of what we did with our 1st son.

Re: Please share your 1 yo feeding schedule after the transition to milk...

here is Ds2s schedule. He will be 1 on the 19th but I transitioned to milk a week or 2 ago.

7:00 wake up
8:00 breakfast (no milk)
10:00 7oz milk, then nap
12:30 lunch (no milk)
2:30 7oz milk, then nap
5:30 dinner (no milk)
7:30 8oz milk, bedtime

If he wakes earlier than 7am I will give him a bottle in the crib, so I can get a few extra minutes of peace and hopefully he will stay quiet enough to let his brother sleep longer. I would say thats 2-3 mornings a week this happens.

My DS is 16 months old and this is his schedule:
(give or take a half hour)

9AM.....Wake & 7oz bottle
10:30AM.....Breakfast
12PM.....5oz bottle
12-2....Nap
2:30PM...Lunch
4:30PM...5oz bottle
630PM...dinner
830PM...7oz bottle
9PM...bedtime

I want to start decreasing bottles when DS turns 18 months. I recently tried to give him milk in a sippy and he wasn't having it at all, so I am going to wait a couple of months.
We just visited with our Ped. & she said that they can have up to 24oz/day of milk. She said as long as milk isn't being substituted for a meal, it's fine.

Re: Please share your 1 yo feeding schedule after the transition to milk...

I went straight to the sippy cup when I transitioned to milk so they don't really have "bottle" times where they just sit and drink their milk but here is their schedule.

7 am wake up- I give them 1/2 cup of milk in a sippy while I am getting them ready.
7:20 leave for my parents house 3 days a week.
8:30ish bfast- with some more milk
10-11:30ish nap
1ish lunch with more milk in a sippy
3:30 nap
5pm dinner with more milk in a sippy
6:30 bedtime

Like I said once they went to milk they really didn't want to sit and drink a bottle anymore so it was pretty easy to eliminate the bottle before bedtime.

Hope this helps!

eta: they are 15 months but this has pretty much been their schedule since 12 mo
