Babies: 9 - 12 Months

how many bottles for a 7 monther?

we do 4 6oz bottles and 3 meals a day.  wondering if that's about average?

Re: how many bottles for a 7 monther?

  • We do two 8oz bottles and then two 6oz bottles.  She gets cereal and fruit/veggies just before she gets the 6oz bottles.

  • Every LO is different. Mine doesn't eat much food yet, so I BF once before work, he takes 4 6oz bottles at daycare, then I BF before bed. I'd imagine if your LO is eating a bit more he'll probably take less milk.
  • This is my DD's usual routine:

     6:30am - 8oz bottle of formula

    10am - Some sort of breakfast baby food like Beechnut Good Mornings Cinnamon Raisin Granola

    1:00pm - I prepare her different lunches.  Today she had chicken vegetable soup that I made with chicken breast, potatoes, yams, cassava, onions, carrots, a little cilantro.  I pureed that for her.  Tomorrow I am making pasta and ground turkey for her lunch.  I also give her about 2 oz of water with lunch

    3:30pm - 8oz of formula

    6:30pm - a fruit

    9:30pm - 8 oz of formula

    I throw a little snack in there sometimes like a few puffs or some cheese. 

  • We do 3-8oz bottles and 3meals consisting of cereal and baby food for bk, then babyfood for lunch , then cereal and baby food for dinner.
  • we do about the same.

  • My son only has about two 4-5 oz bottles a day and sometimes only one.  He has cereal and fruit in the morning, vegetable for lunch with a 4 oz bottle, a snack of fruit or yogurt, and then a stage 2 dinner with fruit.  Another 4 or 5 oz bottle before bed!!

    That's what we've been doing with Sarah for the last few weeks and it's been working really well.
