6 month old eating schedule

kmornelas29

I am curious what you're LOs eating schedule is like?

My DD is 6 months on Saturday and is already eating 3 meals a day as of 2 days ago.

Prior, she had only breakfast and dinner, but when we ate lunch she would grab for our food and cry when she couldn't eat too, plus she was starting to want to nurse more often, so I added lunch to her schedule.

Anyone else feed their baby 3 meals a day yet? If yes, what does your schedule look like.

This is ours:

10 am wake up and nurse
11am solid: fruit mixed with oatmeal
12 pm nurse
1:50 to 2:30 pm Nap
2:40 solid: Veggie
3:00 nurse
5:00 Nurse
5:10 to 5:45 nap
6:45 solid: veggie & fruit with oatmeal
7:30 nurse
9:00 nurse to sleep

I do homemade baby food. Should I be adding in a protein like chicken now? Can I do yogurt for breakfast?

Also, just an FYI we started solids at 4 months, so she has been eating solids for 2 months now. She isn't a newbie!

My LO started oatmeal at 3 months. About 4 months started veggies and fruits for lunch and dinner. Like yours she wanted our lunch so it was natural to just have her eat too.

Up at 6am nurse then oatmeal with a little fruit
Half hour nap
About 930 ish bottle (6oz)
By 1030am down to nap for an hour or two
By 1pm 6-8 oz of home made veggies & little fruit (frequent fruit helps with her poops) with a small bottle about 4oz
Between 2-3 another hour nap
Then Another bottle (6oz)
About 530pm 30 minutes cat nap
6pm nurse then dinner 8oz veggies with fruit or baby yogurt
To bed around 830pm

She has formula during the day and nurses morning and night

Her 6 month appt is Friday so we'll see what the Dr thinks.

My LO is only eating 1 meal a day around 11am or noon.  We were doing 2 meals a day, but he doesn't seem interested in the second meal so we stopped.  I am hoping to start back up at 2 meals a day and add in egg yolk.  My pediatrician told me to hold off on yogurt until 7 or 8 months. 
Here is our schedule:

4 or 5am Nurse, then back to sleep
7am Nurse
10am Nurse
10-11 Nap
11am Solid - fruit and veggie
1pm Nurse
1-3pm Nap
4pm Nurse
7pm Nurse
7:30pm asleep

We do only two meals right now. 4oz at breakfast and 4 ounces at dinner but were told by the pedi we could increase. Sometimes my baby won't drink (he only wants food) so I'm hesitant to add the extra feeding in but by 9 months they should have 3 meals a day anyway.
