Sleeping & Eating patterns of 1 year old.?

Question

My daughter is turning 1 this week and I would like a few opinions on the following:

a) how many naps should she have?
b) how many bottles of formula / day should she have or should I be moving onto growing-up milks?
c) when can we stop giving formula / growing-up milks altogether?
d) when will her poo's become less gooey and more like stools?

Her routine at the moment:
7.30/8am - breakfast
10am - formula bottle then nap
1pm - lunch
3pm - bottle then nap
6.30 - dinner
7pm - bottle then sleep
Breakfast is iron fortified baby cereal, rest of meals are whatever we eat. She is not fussy, has a good appetite. She has between 2 & 4 250ml sippy cups of juice/ day. Past week she seems to play with her bottles rather than drink them as usual. And either the morning or afternoon nap has been a fight to get her to sleep. She does eat some sweets etc on weekends as a treat.

Answer 1

I would ask your doctor about the milk, my daughter just turned a year on the 30th and her doc said at her 9 month appointment start her on on milk between 11-12 months that way when she went back for her 12 month apoint. we would know how she was handling it. The poo i wish I knew that answer myself. My daughters naps are about the same. The only difference in the mine and your schedule is that my daughter does not get bottles before naps any more. She gets them after nap with a little snack. So the milk does not sit in her mouth while she is sleeping and rot her teeth.
I hope this help but basically follow your daughters lead.

Snack (snack (cheese, fruit, crackers, veggies)

Dinner, 1 bottle and what ever we are having meat w/ veggie

Bed time is 8pm somtimes 9 depending on that last nap

Answer 4

particular, it appears like he is going inspite of the undeniable fact that a level with nutrition that happens the place they do in basic terms no longer prefer to consume something and then in a pair of weeks they are going to consume each little thing. in basic terms supply him the flaws he likes and as long as he's taking in something he must be ok. in basic terms confirm he's no longer dropping weight. In term of the sleep is he in basic terms falling a snooze or are you putting him to mattress at 730 and putting him down for a snooze in the time of the day? If he's in basic terms falling a snooze because of the fact he's then i think of this is fantastic his physique is telling him he's drained so he sleeps. in case you think of this is to a lot try retaining him conscious in the time of the day while he could be sound asleep. try doing a sparkling relaxing element with him. i do no longer think of that the sleep element is rather a venture in any respect. i think of that slightly one's physique can regulate this is self with sleep and ingesting.
