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.

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!

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.
