Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Eating schedules

Hey bumpies...whats your child's eating schedule looking like these days.  mine is changing up with solids so i'm looking for ideas on making it smoother. I have a 7mo and am thinking about start 3 meals a day...too early?  he is going 3.5-4 hours between nursing/bottles and currently has breakfast/supper.

Re: Eating schedules

  • My pedi said at his 6 month appt that we could do 3 meals a day. We had just started doing 2 meals a day, so I thought we would probably wait a month or so before throwing the 3rd in there.

  • We do BLW, so maybe its different. Our Dr said we could feed her whenever we eat. Because she feeds herself she doesn't take in more than she needs. She's BF and hasn't dropped any feedings. If she hasn't BF in a while I BF her before the meal.

  • Well e are on no sort of schedule but it seems to be something kind of like this... 6 oz bottle at 6am, 10, 1pm, 4, 8. She usually doesn't finish all of them maybe leaving an ounce or two here and there. Fruit with a little cereal for breakfast and veggie around dinner time.




  • I just started 3 times a day since the pediatrician said it was fine if the baby seems ready. Does your baby seem ready???

    Our schedule is:

    5am: 4 ounce bottle, goes back to sleep

    8am: 5 ounce bottle

    8:30- 9: 2-3 ounces solids

    12pm: 5 ounce bottle

    12:30-1: 2-3 ounces solids

    4 pm: 5 ounce bottle

    4:30-5: 2-3 ounces of solids

    7:30: 6 ounce bottle then bed GL!

    8'ish am - nursing snack before nap

    10a wake up from 1st nap - nurse
