Marcia, I used to feed Brandon a bottle every 2 1/2 hours, and just strung it out to three hours. He has a bottle every three hours from when he gets up at around 10-11. Sometimes he'll sleep through till four hours between feeds, but I try not to let him get past that, even though the MCHN said it was ok, but then he goes to bed too late, or ends up only having four bottles.

Poor Christy. Technically Sunday is the start of the new week, so maybe go to bed early tonight and next week will be better.

Just a question on solids. When you move on from cereal to fruit or veg, do you still feed a meal of cereal? Do you mix the fruit in, or just give it alone? I read he can have 1-2 meals a day, but I have trouble getting in one meal a day with everything else that needs doing. Brandon loves eating real food though. What did everyone else do with starting solids? I did a goggle but all I could come up with was what sort of foods to feed him, and how to give his first few meals, but nothing after that. When I got Baby Love by Robin Barker out of the library before BRandon was born I remember it had a suggested feeding schedule and how many bottles and meals you fed, but I can't remember what it said. Any ideas girls?
