Sample Feeding Schedule for Babies

SAMPLE SCHEDULE for a 12-14 month old. Let me emphasize SAMPLE. 🥞🥕🧀 ⠀
⠀
By 12 months, make sure you are having at least 3 consistent meals per day PLUS 1-3 snacks. Milk needs generally start to decrease. Sometimes it happens naturally, but if not- 12 months is not a bad time to start actively weaning so that the majority of intake is coming from foods. The recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics is to transition off the bottle by 12-18 months. For us, we were down to 2 milk feeds per day by 12-14 months. But if you want to wean entirely that’s perfectly acceptable, just make sure you are offering meals/snacks regularly.⠀
⠀
A couple of things: ⠀
-this is an EXAMPLE only! Every baby/family is different and there’s no need to adjust to this exact schedule. If your days don’t look like this, that’s ok! I simple wanted to offer an EXAMPLE of how to space out feedings during the day. There is a lot of room for flexibility and personalization based on your schedule, needs, and preferences. ⠀
-This is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor if you have questions about how much/how often your child should be fed.⠀
