Eating...

Madeline seems to eat all the time. Small amounts, often. It feels like over the course of a day, I am constantly feeding her.

So in addition to Madeline's regular feeding issues (milk protien allergy, soy allergy, various food allergies, and acid reflux), she has one other issue. She has a limit to what she can eat at one sitting. It is no wonder then that her first word was "all done".

But lately, I have been wondering if we are moving past that issue. She has learned a new word, "I want more" and has been using that often. Madeline has always known her limits and I trust that she is still hungry if she is asking. This prompted me to consider a revamp of our eating schedule.

Current Schedule:

7am wake up to a 6 ounce bottle

8am 1/2 piece of fruit like a nectarine

9am nap

10:30am wake up

11am 6 ounce bottle

12 pm Lunch (meat, something green, and a fruit)

1pm nap

3pm wake up/ snack like a bag of freeze dried apples

6pm dinner (meat, something green, rice, fruit)

7pm sleep/6 ounce bottle

Newly Proposed Scheule:

7am wake up to an 8 ounce bottle

8am breakfast

9 am nap

10:30am wake up-small snack

12pm lunch+2 ounce bottle

1pm nap

3pm snack

6pm dinner

7pm sleep/8 ounce bottle

We will see how it goes!
