 Gabby - Did you find one? We gave a nice one to
 friends who are ready to return it -- I can accelerate
 getting it back, if you need one!NG

 great questions. i personally would stay the course
 until you're out of the hotel. around 12 months our
 girls consistently threw their bottles to the floor at
 lunch time, so we migrated to food only. broccoli,
 scrambled eggs, avocado, any family foods - just mashed
 up or cut up small enough. breakfast at 20 months is
 still bottle of formula. they still seem to enjoy it. 
 we went a week where they threw them on the floor and i
 started making up oatmeal, applesauce, eggs, etc. but
 now, they're preferring bottles again over food at
 breakfast. maybe bottles will last another week at
 breakfast, another four months, or end tomorrow. we'll
 see. i just don't worry about it. they'll not be on
 bottles and formula in college! :)afternoon snack is
 some fruit slices - apple, kiwi, mango, etc.dinner is
 10oz milk followed by food - pasta, rice, veg, fruit,
 etc. i've seen the whole 6-24 months as a slow
 migration from formula/breastmilk for nutrition to
 table foods for nutrition. hope this helps. high
 chairs we use are fisher price space savers that fully
 tilt back - not just the fp ss model that reclines -
 but the model where the entire seat mechanism tilts
 back (great with bottles!). you can use them on the
 floor too (like a bouncy). we travel with them in the
 car. very convenient. if you have any questions, just
 let me know.best, jen

 I second Karen Schwarzbach of www.babiestoslee0.com.
 She was a great resource and is respectful to nursing
 moms and cosleeping moms.

 my girls are 20 months. i agree with jess. my strong
 opinion is that you can't overfeed infants. they know
 when they're hungry. they know when they're full. 
 they'll push the bottle away, thrust it out with their
 tongues, turn their heads, etc.at around 7 months i
 think i made four ten-ounce bottles of formula a day,
 plus some food tasting/flavor exposure after each
 bottle. sometimes they drank 6oz, other times all 10. 
 they know what they need.after running around between
 12-36 months children slim out anyhow. our pedi
 reminded me of that. hope that helps. best, jen
