My twins are about to turn a year old this mo.. I have no idea what I should do for their meal plans and how to get them off of the bottle!?
Here is where they are at now:
*7am(when wake up)-7oz bottle
*9am b’fast:
1/2 pc toast each and infant oatmeal mixed w/ pured fruit
*9:30am(after bfast)-am nap
*11am-6oz btl
*1pm-Lunch:
Gerber turkey/chicken sticks(look like mini weinies;), pureed veggie, pureed fruit. (Sometimes throw in some cooked noodles, rice, or gerber graduates meal..)
*1:30pm(after lunch)-afternoon nap
*3:30-4pm-6oz bottle
*6pm-some sort of snack..ie: unsalted oyster crackers, gram crackers, gerber cereal bar…
*7:30-8pm 7oz bottle
*Bed time… they usually fall asleep down stairs w/ us shortly after bed time bottle.
I just dont know how to get them off of the bottle…especially the bed time one. Would just putting vit d milk in it work?? Or I suppose that wouldnt then get them OFF of the bottle then huh…
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank You all!:)

As long as you eat healthy they should be able to eat just about everything you eat. I don’t see a need for buying all that baby food they are getting pretty old. My son is a year and i ha vent bought any for about 2 months.
Cottage cheese, sandwiches cut up, milk, eggs, cheese, fruit, veggies.
Try to get them off of the pureed foods. If you serve them soft chunks of cooked carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, peas, etc. then it’ll free up some of your time as well as teaching them to self feed.
I think I stopped with the purees by about 10 months with our first and relied heavily on baby led weaning with our second.
To help get them away from the bottle, try giving them their formula or milk in a sippy cup with a soft silicone straw or spout. Once they take that, take away one daily bottle feeding a week. When they wake up is a great time to do that since you can give them breakfast or a snack after naps.
Why aren’t they eating dinner with you? They can have pretty much anything you eat and it’s good for their routine.
