Can't do paragraphs at work, sorry if this is a bit jumbled. 6am - 7oz w/ cereal; 7-7:30am - 3rd stage fruit; 10:30a - 6 oz bottle; 11:30-12p - lunch from the cafeteria (usually steamed veggies & applesauce); 3p - 6oz; 4:30p - 3rd stage dinner/veggies; 8p - 8oz bottle. Obviously this isn't exact, it varies and some days she doesn't want certain bottles and eats jar food instead, but this is the general schedule DC has her on.

We don't have the best schedule & I am working on ideas to get him more meals during the day while we're at work.  

When he wakes up (usually between 7:30a-8:30a)- 6 oz bottle

Before morning nap (usually between 9:30a-10:30a)- 2 to 4 oz bottle

After morning nap (usually around 11:30a-Noon) - either a gerber yogurt, or a jar of #2 fruit with cereal

Sometime mid afternoon (maybe 1:30p-2:00p) 2 to 4 oz bottle

Before afternoon nap (usually around 3:00p-4:00p) - 2 to 4 oz bottle

After afternoon nap (usually around 5:00p-6:00p) dinner - usually a #2 dinner and a #2 veggie or fruit depending on what the dinner is 

mid-evening bottle (maybe around 6:30p-7:30p - 2 to 4 oz bottle

After bath (around 8:30p) 2 to 4 oz bottle

Bedtime 9:00pm

 

It's hard to get him to drink more than a couple oz at a time sometimes, but when he's done, he will NOT take the bottle.  Then an hour later he's ready again.    I want to get him on 3 solid meals a day, but its hard with us both at work and he takes such long naps.  I love that he gets good naps to give our babysitter (my mom) a break but it does make squeezing in all the meals difficult.   He usually ends up drinking around 16-20oz formula a day. I've started trying some finger foods but they make him choke and he gets angry and spits them out.
