  • EBF- No clue ; )

    She usually goes 3 hrs, but in the evenings about every 90min. STTN 12 hrs.

    Solids... we have the green light from the Pedi... and all the necissary crap... but I haven't even given rice cereal yet. She can't sit un-assisted yet either... and I was wanting to wait for that.

  • About 36 ounces and two solid meals.

    He eats every 3 hours and sleeps from 7 to 3pm, eats, and goes back to bed until 7am.

    Yes we started at 4 months.

  • Nurse 7am, 6 oz bottles at approx. 9am, noon and 3pm, nurse 6pm and 9pm (approximate times, but usually close to this and every 3 hours). Nurse overnight as she wakes which is 0-2 times a night.

    Solids were a fail for us so we are on hiatus until 6 mo.

  • I BF when she wakes up around 6am -7am

    cereal mixed with one ounce BM around 10:30am followed by some BF.  I make the cereal pretty thick, so she's getting a decent volume there.

    BF mid afternoon 

    cereal mixed with 1 oz BM around 5-6pm, followed again by BF

    BF again around 8pm before bed.

  • He's a week away from 5 months, but close enough...

    He eats between 25-30 oz. (about half BM, half formula).

    Typical schedule is 6:15, 9:30, 12:30, 3:30, and 6:30.

    No solids yet.  Don't plan to start until 6 months.

  • LO is eating solids. 1 stage 2 fruit for lunch with rice cereal and stage 2 veggie for dinner with rice cereal. She drinks 6oz bottles of breast milk, about 4 a day plus 1 6oz bottle of formula before bed.

    STTN 11 hours

  • EBFing, so not sure.

    Every 2-3 hours when she's awake, then she'll go eight or so at night. 

    Nope. She really wants them, but pedi wants us to wait until six months to start cereal.
