Just Turned 1...change of Schedule

my son is 15 mo. at 1 yr. i felt like his appetite dropped, which i guess is normal...anyway...he wakes up and has a sippy cup with milk right away...soon after he will have breakfast, then a snack a short while after, then nap, when he wakes up he eats lunch....soon after a snack, or two, then another nap...then dinner, and usually a snack before bed...so basically he grazes all day! :) He eat everything! for breakfast...cereal, toast with jelly, eggs, pancakes, waffles, etc. snacks include fruit, cereal, crackers, cookies...dinner he always has a meat, veggies and pasta/rice/noodles....he drinks whole milk and water only...he won't touch juice, but eats a ton of fruit, so we don't push the juice! HTH

My son is 15 months old and this is his schedule...

wakes around 6:15 and will sit in his highchair by 7:00 for breakfast. Sippy cup of water with his food which is usually cereal, waffle, scrambled eggs, toast, fruit, etc.

Around 9:30 I will give him a sippy cup of whole milk along with a snack of yogurt, fruit, or cheese, etc.

Lunch at 11:45 and he gets a sippy cup of water with his meal. Pasta, lunch meat, cottage cheese, hot dog, grilled cheese, chicken nuggets, etc.I just have some of whatever he's having!

Around 3:00 pm another snack with sippy cup of milk.

Dinner around 5:30 and he eats whatever we are eating for dinner.

Around 6:30, I give him one last chance to drink up some milk or maybe a quick snack as we get ready for bed at 7:00.

I really don't know how much milk he is drinking. After trying to keep track, worrying about how much should be drinking and asking other moms, I realized at this point, his main nutrition is now food and not milk so as long as I offered it to him regularly, it was fine. I'm estimating he drinks 9 oz a day throughout the 3 or 4 times a day I offer it to him.

I'm trying to remember how his eating schedule was different at a year old (wow, it was only 3 months ago, that should be hard!). A big difference was that he took a morning nap so that meant he probably didn't have a morning snack or it was earlier/smaller. Also, I still have him one bedtime bottle at one year old because I wanted to make sure he was drinking enough milk. By a year, he was basically on a "big kid" schedule of three meals and 2 or three snacks, with milk supplementing throughout the day.

My twins are about to turn 1, they eat baby food 3x a day, they also still take 4-5,6oz bottles a day. We are just begining our transition to cows milk from formula. They also get a small amount(about a tablespoon at a time) of snacks 2-3x a day in between meals.
