Sample Schedule for a 12 Month Old?

My son will be turning 1 on Sept 29th - congrats to you for making it thru the first year!! Only gets better. I started integrating whole milk about 3 weeks ago. This is his current schedule:

7:00 - 6 oz bottle (2 oz formula and 4 oz whole milk) and snack i.e. cheerios, or rice cake, or mum mum
8:30 - Low fat wheat waffle and a fruit and sippy cup water
11:30 - 6 oz bottle whole milk
12:00 - lunch (veggie, protein, fruit, and/or grain)
3:30-4:00 - Snack i.e. puffs, fruit, rice cake, or mum mum and sippy cup apple juice w/water or just water
5:30 - Dinner (veggie, protein, grain etc) and sippy cup water
7:00 - 6 oz bottle formula

Next week I will replace the bottle of whole milk he gets at lunch with a sippy cup. Note the 3 sippy cups he gets now he doesnt drink that much - more or less sips. All in all I think he gets about 20 oz of fluid. After his 1 yr check up Ill devise a plan to get rid of the morning bottle (replaced by a sippy) followed by the nighttime bottle. I also give him the all formula bottle at nighttime for nourishment.

My son turned one year last month and he doesn't like milk at all. He will only drink it at night when I put it in a glass cup. Even then he will only take about one ounce. He is more interested in drinking something out of the glass than he is interested in milk. I do add milk to his oatmeal and also add mik to dishes that I cook for him to get some milk in him. My ped is not worry that he is not taking milk since he is eating lots of yogurt. My son is also taking a drop vitamin called polyvisol that I would add to his morning oatmeal. Anyways here is his schedule :

6:30am wake up

7am Breakfast (every other day I give him a boiled egg yolk) I do give him oatmeal with fruit and milk mixed in every day and a tub of yogurt. On day he is not eating egg yolk I give him some cheese chunks and bread with butter.

11am Lunch (protein, veggies and carbs) I have been making him all kinds of pasta and mixing mince proteins and veggies in them. I also give him a tub of yogurt and some fruits.

5pm Dinner (pretty much the same as lunch)

7pm Snacks such as organic graham crackers and cheerios and some milk if he will take it.

I do give him snacks here and there between meals such as crackers and cheese chunks.

Congrats on your little one's new milestone - Turning one !

Just to add that I do give him water from a cup in between meals. He will not eat right after his meal plus he won't use a sippy cup only a regular cup.

I think I posted the exact same question about my daughter (now 13 months)! I've always found the food and scheduling thing so confusing - especially since I nursed/am still nursing.

After discussing it my doc and considering my hopes to continue breastfeeding at least some of the time , this is what is working for us right now:

7-7:30 wake up & breakfast: Infant cereal with breast milk (or 1 egg), 1/2 banana, 1/2 piece toast. Maybe some yogurt snacks or Os while I prep. Offer to nurse.

10:30ish snack: 7.5 oz whole milk (maybe a couple of crackers or a cereal bar if she didn't eat a lot at breakfast/had an active morning/or big afternoon planned)

1-2ish lunch: baked chicken (or another protein), steamed veggies, rice/pasta/potato, fruit

4ish snack: 7.5 oz whole milk (same as above if we're planning to take her in the jogger or to kid's club at our gym)

6:30 dinner: same as lunch

7:00 bath

8:00 nurse & bedtime

Some days, she naps 1.5 hr in the morning and again in the afternoon. This is ideal for her and it makes me soooo happy - especially when I'm trying to work from home. Other days she takes one 2-3 hr nap in the middle of the day. We've never been super strict schedulers and she seems content and is healthy.

Good luck!

I would suggest you start now with giving her milk. Start mixing it with her formula or breast milk. We started about a month out with both oure kids and did a 25%-75% ratio and then moved up each week.

My son will be one on Saturday and he has milk with breakfast, lunch, and dinner and sometimes with his snack in the later afternoon. He drinks about 4-6 oz at a time. We also still give him a cup of milk before bed, usually. We eat dinner a bit late so sometimes we don't give it to him if we just ate.

As far as food, he wakes up about 7-7:30, eats breakfast about 8 then nap then lunch around 12, another nap around 2, snack, dinner and bed by 7:30 or 8. He is kind of a picky eater, which you would never guess by looking at him, but he loves hot dogs, carrots, peas, oatmeal, bananas, dried strawberries, and veggie booty. We give him finger food exclusively, except for yogurt and cottage cheese sometimes.

well when my girls were that age this was the schedule.
7-7:30 breakfast like oatmeal and 1 sippy of milk about 4 to 6 oz
10:00 snack fruit or crackers, granola bar etc. with sippy of water or juice
12:00 lunch soup or sandwich etc. another sippy of milk 4 to 6 oz
1:00 naptime
3-3:00 snack with again water or some juice
5:30 dinner whatever we are eating like potatoes, noodles etc. and sippy of milk 4 to 6 oz
7:00 snack with sippy of milk usually the milk left over from dinner
7:30 bathtime
8:00 bedtime

my son turned one a month ago and at first we did not give him milk intill he finished his real food because that would be all he wanted. now he drinks it as he eats. also at 12mnths he went through a short two weeks stage of not wanting to eat any solids at all, but it passed thank goodness so here is his scheadule now...

between 8am and 8:30: wakes up and get breakfast (oatmeal with fruit, or cheesy scrambled eggs or pumpkin pancakes) and 1/2 cup milk
10:00 he drink another 1/2 cup milk (we only pour 1/2 cup into his sippy or he will drink the whole thing and not eat lunch latter)
10:30: takes a nap
12:30 he wakes up and gets lunch (chicken nuggets and veggies or veggie soup, or mac and cheese and fruit, or lentil stew and bread or spegetti os)
2:00 he gets a snack ( yogurt or cheerios and juice)
3:00 more milk
5:00 dinner (whatever we are eating) and milk
6:30 bath
7:30 or 8 bedtime

in between these times he plays and learns!
