If you’re doing breakfast first thing wait a longer period of time before offering the bottle . We have to do at least1.5/ 2 hours or my little boy isn’t interested at all
Could you offer breakfast first and put milk in a cup or beaker for them to drink alongside breakfast?
We do 8oz bottle at 7.30ish, breakfast at 8.30ish and nap at 10am till 11.30am, 8oz bottle when she wakes, nap at 2.30pm till 3.45pm, 8oz bottle when she wakes, dinner at 5pm and then bottle at 7pm and asleep at 7.30pm - that’s how it goes roughly for us! X
I have literally no schedule, if he’s in a good mood and we have time I just hand him some food to try. He’s breastfed so I can’t really predict ahead of time when he’ll fancy some milk. Don’t stress about it at this age
It’s really tough and I’ve got a super tight schedule because it’s not manageable otherwise. So my little boy will wake up anywhere between 6-7 I will generally offer him a bottle when he wakes up which sometimes he only has 40-50 ml but sometimes 100 ml. Then we offer breakfast around 1hr ish later or sooner if he’s only had a small amount and as he is going off for his first nap he will have a big bottle of 7oz. It’s so hard I must admit I base everything around his naps because he feeds better going off to sleep. He does often have feeding during the night (sometimes 2 or 3) as well so I feel better even if he’s had a little bit of milk in the morning even if it’s not much. Obviously milk is the most important thing but if it was me I’d offer a small amount of milk at the bottle in the morning and then breakfast and at her second bottle offer more milk or do breakfast when she wakes up and then the bottle and see if that makes any difference. Idk if that helps or makes any sense. X
