newborn feeding schedule–: Feeding schedule for 10 month old?
What should my feeding schedule be like for my 10 month old? I feel overwhelmed to get everything in that he needs. Formula, fruit, veggies, meats, yogurt, cheese and snacks. So I’m feeding him every 2 hours and it feels like he’s a newborn again! I am having the most trouble getting him to eat formula. I offer it right away in the morning when he wakes up, but he will only take an ounce or two same with afternoon and night feedings. And I can’t get him to drink it from a sippy. He just spits it out and smiles at me. He has always eaten less than most babies and is in the 4% for weight. I’m working hard to get him to gain weight, but it takes a lot of time and effort!
The following is the answer: (Hint: The correct answer provided by the users, does not guarantee the right.)
Answer by Pippin
There’s no ’should.’
At this age most babies are starting to transition to a more adult meal pattern, with 2-3 solid meals and maybe a couple of snacks, plus bottle or breast on demand or in whatever pattern has been working for the two of you.
He does still need his formula, so if he’s beginning to refuse it, maybe cut back on the solids so he’ll be hungrier. Especially if he’s small for his age, formula has more calories than most solids, so you want to be focusing on the milk.
I wouldn’t be pushing the sippy cup. He can and really SHOULD still be taking his milk from a bottle. Many babies refuse to drink milk from a sippy until they are weaned. They associate the milk with the comfort of breast or bottle and suckling. (Remember, if you were breastfeeding you wouldn’t be putting breastmilk in a cup, right?) You can offer a few ounces of water and/or diluted juice in a sippy if you want him to get the practice with it.
Answer by asrai
He should eat meals approx when you do and one snack before bed. Otherwise it is milk on demand.

My son is 10 months old and is also a little guy when it comes to size (5th percentile for height and weight). Here is our eating everyday routine.
8:30 am – Breakfast – Stage 2 fruit (sometimes given on a piece of wheat toast), Baby cereal, finger foods (cherrios, multigrain crackers, banana/apple pieces)
12 pm – Lunch – 6oz bottle, 1/4 cup of frozen veggies
3 pm – 6oz bottle
5 pm – Supper – Stage 2 veggies (sometimes given on toast), baby cereal, finger foods (same as listed above)
7:30pm – 6oz bottle
*With every meal I offer a sippy cup with water in it, sometimes a bit of juice.
*My son does not eat meat at this point, I plan on introducing that at 11 months along with whole milk.
*He also does not eat cheese on a regular basis, but he does get a few bites of yogurt when mommy has some.
I really do try my best to keep my son on a healthy diet, a lot of the table foods babies get are not necessary because the formula or breast milk contains everything that they need. Hope this helped!

newborn feeding schedule–: Any advice about feeding newborn twins?
We’re talking logistics here-we’ve heard about “getting them on the same schedule”, but easier said than done! Usually they’ll wake up within 10 minutes of each other (especially overnight) and we’re not sure if it’s okay to let one just cry away until we get the first one set up (BTW, breastfeeding is not part of the equation-strictly formula)-HELP!
The answer in the following: (Hint: The answer is not necessarily.)
Answer by cleanfreak
well your just gonna have to get help let the dad feed one while you feed the other one. When the get a little older you can prop the bottles but until then you have to get help feeding them both at the same time. I would prepare both bottles so if they get up about ten minutes apart the bottle should be ready for baby # 2. Good Luck and sleep when they sleep.
Answer by D and G Gifts Etc
Purchase a small fridge for your bedroom and some bottle warmers. This way while you are feeding the first twin you can put the second twins bottle in the warmer and it will be ready when he/she wakes up. Also keep bouncy seats in the room this way if both are awake you have two free hands to feed them at the same time.
Answer by Zera
Yes. Breast-feed one child, and then have dad feed the other with Good Start formula. Then when the next feeding time comes, breast-feed the other child while dad bottle-feeds the other. This way both children are getting breast milk, and formula, and neither one is hungry.
Answer by Patsy A
A little bit of crying doesn’t hurt. If you know they’re both going to eat, you could make both bottles at once. You might try holding one while propping the bottle for the other one in an infantseat.
My twins were on opposite schedules, so that was not my problem. I did keep a spread sheet to keep track of which one had the bottle and which one had the breast so I could switch the next time. The more things you can learn to do simultaneously the better it will be for the next 2 years.
Answer by ♥Keetta♥
I never had this problem. If one woke up….I would wake the other and feed him/her. A few times of this and they soon got on the same schedule. If you don’t do this, you will exhaust yourself. Don’t let one cry…..instead wake and feed the other. You will only need to do this for a few days as they will soon get used to the schedule. I always got my bottle ready ahead of time so that it was ready to be given to them immediately. I used carriers or bouncers to feed both at the same time.
Answer by carol anne
bundle wrap both of them when one wakes up get them both set up and feed one with one hand and one with the other hand. you can do it!!!
if you let one cry and wait it will have feelings of abandonment. and you will exhaust yourself doing it one at a time.
Answer by lanimarie25
What I did at night was if they both woke up to eat at the sametime i would either put them in there bouncers or carseats and sit between them and put bottles in their mouths. As a single mother of twins there gets to a point where they other is just going to have to wait. I would really try feeding them at the same time, it made my night so much easier! Sometimes I even woke they other one up just so I wouldn’t have to go through feeding time twice. They always fell right back to sleep.
Answer by mommy_to_mason2006
ooooooh, not breastfeeding is not a good thing… maybe you should make both their bottles first, lay them on the bed, and hold both of the bottles above their face to feed them, instead of holding one… this is assuming the dad isn’t around, or isn’t willing to help
Answer by mscrzy_81
what i did well still sometimes do is get a boomerrang pillow and either put it up on the lounge or on the floor depending how old and big they are and stick the bottle in their mouths at the same time i was told in hospital to try and breastfeed them at the same time and its almost impossible… you hear the stories ” oh i breastfed them at the same time and they turned out perfect” that women would have to be a robot i had premie twin boys and i was only able to feed for two weeks they ended up getting thrush from the breast milk so i took them off and as soon as i did that i dried up so i had no choice but formula but i recomend formula or expressing when you get a chance for multiple babies and leave the breast feeding to singles………………..

Thank you for your attention,news book blog: ask a toddler and Newborn Baby Clothes.
!!about newborn feeding schedule tips :breastfeeding is best. It’s free, has health benefits for mother and baby, has no environmental impact, and is a precious bonding experience.
It looks so natural, a baby at the breast, but you might have learned that positioning your own little one is not as easy as it appears. Don’t worry, it gets easier. Positioning Pointers: First, find a comfortable place to feed your little one. If you’ll be nursing sitting up, choose a supportive chair with arm rests. Have several pillows handy. Undress your baby, down to her diaper. Skin-to-skin contact stimulates babies, helping them to remain awake and alert during a feed. For this reason, it’s best not to swaddle your baby while nursing. No matter what position you choose, tuck your baby in close, make sure her whole body is well supported and her head, neck, and back are in a straight line. You shouldn’t be leaning back or forward as you get ready to bring your baby to your breast. During your baby’s first weeks, try a few of these common nursing positions to see what works best for you and your baby. Clutch (Football) Hold When this works best: This can be one of the easiest positions to use with a newborn. It works well if you have large breasts, if your baby has latch-on or sucking problems, if you’ve had a cesarean, if your baby arches at the breast, if you have a rapid milk ejection reflex, if your baby is small, or if you have twins. This position allows you to see your baby latch on, giving you better control. How to do it: Sit in a comfortable chair. Use pillows, if needed, under your baby to bring her to breast level, and for support under your arm. In this …

I sooooo just went through this situation and still doing it.My twins are almost 3 months and i tried everything possible.The best thing that worked was to feed them together!!!!!!!!ecspecially if you do not have help.like me….my husband works 12 hours a day and he couldnt help.so here is how i did it and do it…..okay when we first got home the sleep in a pack n play and i slept on the couch.when they woke up i had a blanket spread out on the floor with apillow propped up against the couch, very securly, then i put them side by side and feed them that way.the best investment was the first years bottle warmer with the cooler on the back that way you dont hafta run to the fridge to get bottles and it will work in any room.but if you dont feed them together you will never ever get back to sleep!!!!!!!!!!now the girls sleep in thier own beds and wake up once at night,but i already have bottles in the cooler and the warmer ready all i do now is prop a bottle in one will i feed the other then i pull out burp one and prop other b/c if i get them out of bed and stimulate tooo much they wont go back to sleep but i dont wait b/C IF THEY GET OFF SCHEDUAL IT IS HORRIBLE.it seems like all you do is feed every hour.i tried one at a time it took me 2hours to feed burp and put back to bed.now 30min tops..but if i had a choice my husband would be getting up every night to help.it has got a lot better and you get use to it fast. sometimes i feel like SUPER MOM.
Well good luck and sleep every second you can.
hope my advice works for you so far so good.soon ill hafta master baby foods and cerals…
