I feel like I may be doing something wrong....
DD eats "dinner" around 4:30ish and bedtime is around 7pm now.
How will I alter that so she can start eating dinner WITH us?

she's been going down for a nap or is sleeping at 3pm....
maybe I'm feeding her ALL wrong! wakes up 7-7:30am breakfast 7:30/8am bottle/naps around 9ish and sometimes for 2 hrs lunch is around 12, 1pm if she's not fussing for it. bottle is usually around 2ish, and then nap wakes up between 3-4 and then she gets hungry by 4:30 and then fusses for her bedtime bottle 6:30ish/7

IMO I would try it a little different.. when she gets up give her a bottle and then fed her a little later..maybe she will nap around 10 then maybe a snack and then feed her lunch around 1:-1:30 and then she might nap later around 3 and then when she gets up give her a nsack/bottle nd that should hold her off till you eat dinner and then put her down a little later.
I have never had Jillian on stricy schedule.. that is the way she is.. I never put her down before 8-8:30 because my DH does not get home from work till around 7 and he wanted to play with her. Just try to adjust it.. just when you think you have a schedule down pat .. they change.. just wait till you get rid of that other nap and they all start to nap around 12:30- 1:00.....
good luck and this is just my opinion and what works for me.. every child/parents is different

Can you give her a snack? Miranda eats 3 meals and 2-3 snacks a day (cheese, yogurt, yogurt drink, etc.) She still doesn't eat with us that often though but if I ever get my act together and have dinner ready when DH gets home it would work out well.

Re: I feel like I may be doing something wrong....
I would like to have Noah eating with us also, but the timing never works. We eat when he goes to bed because I can't cook when he is awake and being rowdy. Also, the things that we eat, I am not sure if can give Noah what we eat...asian food, bbq, we eat lost of spicy foods. We might have to change our diets!

Re: I feel like I may be doing something wrong....
My son is 7months and this seems to work for us. We feed him a bottle as soon as he wakes up and then do cereal/fruit later....it pushes the schedule later.
6:30 7oz bottle 9:00 oatmeal/fruit 11:00 7oz bottle 1:30 vegetable or fruit 3:30 7oz bottle 5:30 rice/barley/vegetable 6:30 5oz bottle
7:00 bath/bed

Talia's schedule is VERY similar to this - I give her dinner at 5. if I think she will be hungry earlier either I give her a snack - or I let her eat earlier. I am not really worried about her eating with us until she is a little older. Right now, she MUST be in bed by 7 or all hell breaks loose. If the schedule works for her - stick to it.
