10 Month Old - Garden Grove,CA

My son will be 10 months on the 29th. He is on the high end I will start out by saying...he drinks up to 32 ozs a day! He has 5 bottles and 3 solids meals. I am working on going down to 4 bottles. He takes 2 naps usually around 10:00 am and 2:30 pm (on average about 1.5 hrs). He wakes around 7:00 am and goes to bed at 7:00 pm. He is 23 lbs and 31 inches (he was 11 lbs when he was born!). He is and going to be a big boy!!

Don't forget your child's stomach is only as big as her fist. If she doesn't seem hungry, don't over-feed, it'll cause problems later.

Always give him his milk first then fill in the gaps with solid food. At this point it should be finger foods. pieces of cheese , little pieces of meat, noodles , cooked veggies etc. doing finger foods will slow down his solid intake, as will giving him milk first.

you're right, it should be more (formula) for brain development, among other things.

We let our kids really guide us with their schedules. They're also in day care, so we didn't have a lot of control at that age with what schedule they were on.

However, here's what the American Academy of Pediatrics has as their recommendations:

As the get older and eat more table/baby food, they take less formula. My son would hardly eat baby food at 10 months. He took 3 six to 8 ounce bottles a day and at mostly table food for meals!

My dd is almost 11 months, but her schedule is wake up between 6-7 have a 7 oz bottle, she goes back to sleep around 9-10 she eats breakfast (waffles, yogurt, fruit, cereal...all depending on the day) around 12-1 she will eat lunch, she loves pasta pickups, lunch meat, cheese, (anything we are eating) then around 2 she will nap. Then around 5-6 dinner (again usually anything we are eating) around 7-8 she takes a 7 oz bottle and goes to bed. She has never taken in a huge amount of formula (even when she was only on formula she was only taking a max of 24 ounces in day). She is a healthy 21 lbs and very smart little girl. It sounds like you are doing a great job! Keep it up!

Hi, Im a mother of 4. I think that is great that she's only taking 20 oz of formula. The switch to milk is gonna be so EASY.... That is great that she's eating solid foods already, I was always so nervous that they were gonna choke. But each of childrens schedules were very different. My oldrest who's 8 1/2 yo, when he was 10 months old, my mother was feeding him solid foods too.( I was too nervous) He wake up around 8am, ate, played and etc, nap around 12ish ate lunch (he usually fall asleep while eating lunch) and was in bed by 8 to 9ish. My daughter whos 6 when she 10 months old she was in daycare part time, so she woke up at 6ish, ate breakfast, napped at daycare, came home ate dinner and was in bed by 6pm. My 3rd child who's 3 1/2 around 10 months old, he woke up by 7 am, had a bottle and breakfast he was also was at daycare. Came home had dinner and etc and was in bed at 8 p.m. Lastly my 19 month old, when he was 10 months old ( he's currently under a GI for under weight) it was a b**tch to get him to drink his bottle. He took naps when ever usually about 2 naps a day but he goes to bed by 11 pm, He ate whatever we did or what ever baby/toddler food we had on hand. (anything that we know that he'll eat)
Well I hope this helps. From experience babys at that age get tired of the formula (especially if you take them off the bottle and start gaving him the sippy cup) That's happen to me with my third, I could only get him to drink milk from the bottle, my pedi was fully aware of this and was okay with it because I was having another child. But when I was in the hospital my mother in law took the cup away from him, now he won't drink milk if I paid him, so I sub it with yogurt or etc. Let me know if you need any more advise, Im always around!
