My son is 11 1/2 months old and is on 3 milk feeds a day. He doesn't take a bottle, so his lunch and dinner are from a sippy cup. ABOUT 6 ounces, probably less since he spills it all over. He eats 3 solid meals a day as well.

I usually BF him AFTER he eats breakfast now so I can wean him completely to the cup. You can't measure how much you BF by pumping - babies get more out than a pump.

He gets a snack around 10, lunch and cup of milk around noon and dinner around 5 with his cup of milk. Snack between lunch and dinner too if he's hungry. He also sips on water at snack times.

He used to get really grumpy if he didn't get a boob right away in the morning but slowly we worked on getting him to his highchair and food in his hands and now he almost forgets about it. He kind of weaned himself from the BF's by just forgetting about it. :) I thought it would be hard since he absolutely refused the bottle - but he has been super easy!

I am suprised it's harder for you now that she's on solids - it got really easy for us once that started. Now all he wants to do is eat his own food. He's a little piggy at 24-25 pounds.
