feeding schedule for 1 yr old

DD has been on the same feeding schedule since she was 8 months old and I think it's time for a change

6 am 6 oz bottle
7:30-7:45 breakfast at daycare
10 am 6 oz bottle
11:45-12 lunch
2 pm 6 oz bottle
4:45 dinner
6-6:15 6 oz bottle
in bed by 6:45-7

I feel like I'm giving her too many bottles and maybe she needs food snacks instead.
With the exception of her morning and night bottle she doesn't really cry for it but since I offer it she drinks it.

What is everyone else doing?

Re: feeding schedule for 1 yr old

Our schedule is similar, but we only have 3 bottles a day. I have more time btw the first bottle and breakfast though.

If you want to cut a bottle you could change the 10am one to a snack instead.

Ours is:

7am- 8 oz bottle
10am- breakfast
1pm- lunch
3:30pm- 6 oz bottle
6pm- dinner
7:45pm- 8 oz bottle
8pm- bed

I'm so lost...what do you give as snacks?

DD is an animal and eats so much!

For breakfast today she had a yogurt, some banana and cheerios

lunch 2 fish sticks, a 3 oz veggie squeeze and some puffs

dinner a veggie burger and some yogurt melts

Re: feeding schedule for 1 yr old

I don't really do snacks per se, but what about string cheese or some berries? Or my DS loves the Gerber cereal bars.

DD will be 1 next week and this is her schedule:

7am - breakfast
8am - 8oz bottle (doesn't always finish it)
11:30am - lunch
2ish - snacks
4:30pm - dinner
6:00pm - 8oz bottle (doesn't always finish this one either)

She drinks a lot of water throughout the day though because I'm always offering it to her. As far as snacks, she gets fruit, cheese, puffs, cheerios, veggie sticks, yogurt melts or little bits of whatever I'm eating.

at one we were down to 2 bottles a day and by 13m we dropped the nighttime bottle.
her schedule was like this:
8am - 7.5oz bottle
10am - breakfast (usually a fruit and a grain and some yogurt)
1 - lunch (varies but always includes a fruit)
4 - snack
6 - dinner (varies but always includes a fruit and at least one veggie, usually several, and 75% of the time a protein as well)
8 - 5oz bottle (never finished it and we soon got rid of it altogether)

she eats large meals and drinks a lot of water throughout the day as well.

snacks can be anything from cheese to a cereal bar to puffs or cheese puffs.

Re: feeding schedule for 1 yr old

My DD is 15 months, but we've had pretty much the same routine since she was 12 months.

7:30- Straw Cup with Milk
8:00-Breakfast (Eggs, yogurt, fresh fruit, etc.)
9:30-Nap
11:30-Snack w/Water
1:00-Lunch
2:30-Nap
3:30-Snack
6:00-Dinner and a Straw Cup with Milk
8:00-Bed

She never finishes her milk.

Re: feeding schedule for 1 yr old

How much milk are they supposed to have in a day ( I give soy milk if that matters)

I don't know if I'm feeding her enough

Re: feeding schedule for 1 yr old

DS is 14 months.

6:00- wakes, I nurse him- only time of day he still nurses.

7:00- breakfast- cheerios, yogurt, blueberry waffle, bagel, fresh fruit, oatmeal, sippy of whole milk

10:00- snack- string cheese, earth's best cereal bar, annie's bunny crackers, avocado, fresh fruit, sippy of water

noon- lunch- sippy of water with lunch

3:00- snack- sippy of whole milk with snack

6:00- dinner- he usually doesn't finish the milk sippy from snack so he gets that with dinner.

8:00- bedtime bottle. He gets toddler formula per my ped. suggestion.
