I'm still taking it slow. She is only fed once a day in the evenings. Right now it is just maybe an ounce or 2 at the most. I am thinking of upping now.

Here's ours.

8am - 2.5 oz fruit, 1 tbs oatmeal, and bottle
11:30am - 1.5 oz veggies and bottle (just started veggies at lunch because he wasn't filling up on just a bottle)
3pm - bottle
6pm - 2.5 oz veggies and bottle
8pm - bottle then bed

He's a big eater and his bottles are anywhere between 6-8oz.

DD gets 5 bottles a day. As for solids, she gets solids at lunchtime and dinnertime. At lunch time, she gets a tablespoon of oatmeal mixed with about 1/2 oz of BM and/or formula. At dinner, she gets rice cereal (same amount as the oatmeal) and a jar of a fruit or veggie. The lunch time solid was just added today! This seems to be the right amount for her for now.

I don't know if we are doing it right either, but this is what is working for us right now:

8:00am - 7-8oz. bottle

10:00am - 1/2 jar veggie

12:00pm - 6-7oz. bottle

3:00pm - 6-7 oz. bottle

6:00pm - 1 Tbs. cereal, 1/2 jar veggie

7:30pm - 8 oz. bottle

8:15-8:30 - bed

She is at the sitter during the day (sitter provides food) so I will do best I can, WHO KNOWS if I am doing it right...

6:00am 4 oz bottle

8:00 am 3 scoops of oatmeal 1/2 tub of babyfood (I get the plastic tubs)

9:30 am 6 oz bottle

12:30 pm 3 scoops of oatmeal 1/2 tub of babyfood (I get the plastic tubs) and 5 - 6 oz bottle

3:45 6 oz bottle

6:30 pm 3 scoops of oatmeal 1/2 tub of babyfood (I get the plastic tubs)

7:30 pm - 8:00 pm 6 oz bottle

OMG am I feeding too much?

Right now we are just doing 1 meal a day at 5pm. I just feed her as much as she'll eat, sometimes it's a few bites and sometimes it's a whole jar (depends on the food and when her last bottle was before then). After 6 months we'll probably introduce another meal, but right now 1 is enough as she is still drinking about 30-32oz. of formula/day

just started the twins on solids --- they are getting a couple Tbs of rice cereal before their 10am bottle.  They get 5 bottles/day.

7am - nurse

730-745am - 1 tbsp oatmeal with 3 baby spoon fulls of fruit

Then during the week he goes to daycare and gets 7oz bottles at 10, 1, and 4. On the weekends he either nurses or gets bottles around those times.

5-530pm - 1 tbsp oatmeal and 1-2 tbsp of a veggie

730-8pm - 7oz bottle

 In the AMs I mixed the fruit with the oatmeal but in the PMs DS seems to like his veggies without the oatmeal. So I'm thinking that I'm not going to do oatmeal anymore in the evenings and just feed a little more veggies.

DD still take the same amount of bottles we just add a Tbsp of veggies at dinner.
