Bottle Weening and Baby Snacks

A couple of months ago I talked about Monster's daily eating schedule and how I had set it up so that it would be an easy transition when the time came for bottle weening.

Monster schedule looked something like this:

Wake up - Breakfast (Solids)
Mid-morning Snack - 8oz Bottle
12-1pm - Lunch (Solids)
Afternoon Snack - 8oz Bottle
530-6pm - Supper (Solids)
Bedtime Snack - 8oz Bottle

Having his eating schedule set up like that allows us to slowly transition his "snacks" (bottles) to real solid food as he began eating more at meal times. This has been a brilliant plan! So far we've only replaced his mid-morning bottle with solids because a 10 month old is still supposed to have breast milk or formula as a primary source of nutrition.

Although, we are nearing the time when we can start thinking about eliminating the 4pm "snack" (bottle) as well. As this stage in Monster development the only thing holding us back is finding more snack and meal options for our two-toothed little Monster.

What are some snack and meal options you provide for your growing 10 month old?
