What is your 7 month old's schedule like? Do you feel like they get bored with the same toys? I am enrolling us in a music class to break up some of the monotony of the day, but am interested in seeing others schedules. Can't wait until it gets warmer outside!
Ours is...
Wake up around 7:00-6oz bottle
Change diaper/read/play on tummy and sitting up for about 40 min.
Oatmeal and 1/2 jar of fruit breakfast
nap around 9-9:30
6 oz bottle around 11
read/play until about 12:00
1/2 jar of veggie for lunch
Nap arounf 1-1:30
Bottle -6 oz around 3:30
Play/read/run errands
bottle - 5 oza nd 2 tbsp of rice cereal around 5
6 oz bottle before bed 7-7:30pm
So he gets about 30 oz of formula and some food each day.
Re: 7 month old schedules
Our schedule is very similar
6-7am-bottle (5oz)
8:30-breakfast 2tbsl oatmeal with fruit mixed in and 2 oz yogurt
9-nap
11:30-bottle (5ish oz)
12-12:30-lunch fruit or veggie and possibly the other 2 oz of yogurt
1:00-nap
3-bottle (4ish oz)
4-4:30-dinner veggie or meat and 2oz yogurt if he didn't finish at lunch
7-bottle (5 oz)
LO does not take bottles of formula well and never really has. He will normally wake 2ce a night (11pm and 4am) to make up for some missed nutrients that he will not take during the day.
Our schedule has remained the same since about 5 months. Not much has changed cause she seems content with it.
9am - her internal clock wakes her up. I change her diaper, and get her oatmeal ready.
9:15 - oatmeal (3oz formula mixed into a pudding texture) then she'll drink an ounce or two of formula after
11:30-Noon - a bottle (usually about 5 ounces) and a nap usually follows.
2pm 1 jar of 2nd level food, (generally a fruit or something with fruit in it,)
4-5pm a 5 ounce bottle usually followed by another nap.
(occasionally after this nap we'll go to someones house, maybe grandmas or something for a change of scenery)
6:45ish 1 jar of second level veggie or mac and cheese or chicken noodle - usually whatever I feel like giving her for dinner.
7pm we go pick up her daddy from work.
9pm she gets another bottle and USUALLY will fall asleep for the night. Sometimes she isn't ready yet and won't go to bed till about 10:30 or so when we offer her another small bottle.
We offer her a sippycup of water throughout the day and I also offer her 1 oz of juice mixed with water so she doesn't get constipated (this happens a lot).
Usually she gets about 20-25 oz of formula with 2 jars of food and a bowl of oatmeal each day.
Wow, I'm jeaolous that you guys have such a predictable schedule! Every time I think Megan is getting into one she gets sick or decides that she wants to sleep only until 4:00 am and it throws everything off. Plus it seems like she eats a ton more than your babies. She has 3 or 4 containers of the stage 2 baby food and some oatmeal. Plus 24ish oz of formula. And she likes to have fruit in her mesh feeder. Am I overfeeding her? She isn't overweight, she was right in the 50 percentile at her 6 month apt.
My DD has been pretty predictable for the last month or so. However, I want to add in 1 more solid meal soon so it might change some...
8am wake up - 8oz bottle
10:30 - 4oz of a fruit or veggie
11-1ish - nap time
1:30 - 8oz bottle
4:30 - 3oz of formula mixed with cereal into a pudding consistancy (so maybe 1/2 cup?)
5-6ish - nap time
7:30 - 8oz bottle
8-8:30 bed time!
