Hi everyone, i've started to give my LO a teaspoon of baby rice around 9.30 every morning now. I was exclusively breastfeeding until about a month ago when i started him on a bottle of formula for his last feed (which he takes around 6oz). I am wanting to wean him off the breast and onto a bottle now so i've started to give him formula around 1.30 which he takes around 4oz.

I'm really wanting to get in a proper rouine with feeds but coz i've always fed on demand i don't know where to start. He is still waking in the night but he's had a cold for a few days after his injections so i guess that hasn't helped.

We normally start our day at 7am, he has his bath at 6pm and bed by 7pm. Like i already mentioned i will shortly be bottle feeding all the time and wondered if anyone could give me some advise and maybe post their routines for me, just to give me an idea.

Thanks :D

Oh yeh, don't know if this is a silly question or not but when you prepare bottles can you leave the cooled boiled water out of the fridge and at room temp or do they have to be refridgertated?
 
Hiya Conal was always bottle so it maybe different for you at first he fed on demand then kinda got his own routine strated

8.20am up and 7oz bottle
11.20am dinner (just started) and bottle
2.20pm 7oz bottle
5.20pm 7 oz bottle
7.30pm rusk and bottle only about 2oz though

And thats him although i did make his 7.30pm one for him to get him to bed all the others he decided in the times but sticks to almost everyday unless i am out walking or nedd to feed him early to go somewhere.
