"supported sitter" feed schedule

hopeful34

Just got this in the mail from gerber. Seems like alot of feedings or is this typical for around 6mos old? I know this is just an example.

Morning - 4oz form or BM

Breakfast - 4tbsp cereal, 3/4 tub pears

Mid morning snack - 4oz form or BM

Lunch - 4oz form or BM, 1/2 tub sweet potatoes

Afternoon snack - 4 oz form or BM, 3/4 tub peaches

dinner - 4oz form or MB, 3/4 tub greenbeans, 4tbsp of cereal

evening feeding 4oz form or BM

What times are these do you think? the morning, breakfast, mid morn snack all seem like alot before lunch?? is this typical? It's 7 feedings and right now mine only get 5. (I know the oz of form is lower)

When the heck do the babies sleep? lol...

I know i'm getting ahead of myself but i'm just curious as to see if this is how it's going to be. No biggie if it is...i'm just floored at how many feedings this is.

were not there just yet DC are 5 months this is what we do

 

7am wake up 6 oz formula

10am 6 oz formula 2tbs oatmeal 1/2 container fruit each

1pm 6oz

4pm 6 oz

7pm 6 oz 2 tbs rice cereal 1/2 containter vegetable each

730pm bed

 

4 tbs seems like a lot i cant imagine them doing that much more in a month. I think we are going to add the third "meal" at 6 months though, maybe a little sooner since they really enjoy fruits and veggies so far

Mine are going on 7 mos.  In a nutshell, they get 4 bottles (a total of 32 oz), 2 solid meals, and 3 naps each day.  The nitty gritty is similar to this:

6:30a - wake up and bottle #1

8:00a - solids (cereal and fruit - about 2-3 Tbsp of each per baby)

8:30a - nap #1 (30-45 min.)

10:30a - bottle #2

11:00a - nap #2 (about 1-1.5 hrs)

2:00p - bottle #3

2:30p - nap #3 (about 45 min.) 

4:00-4:30p - solids (2-3 Tbsp of veggies each plus Puffs, Cheerios, and/or yogurt melts)

6:15p - bottle #4

6:45p - bed

We are just starting to get into a routine with the bottles/solids... this is what it looks like right now:

6am: 6oz bottle

8-8:30: 2tbsp oatmeal mixed with 1/2 container bananas (they share the bowl)

9:30:  6oz bottle (but right now they are only taking 3-4oz of that)

12:30:  6oz bottle

3:30:  6oz bottle

5:30-6pm:  the leftover bananas

6:30-7:  6oz bottle.

We are just starting fruits so right now they are only eating bananas (and oatmeal cereal in the mornings) but we are going to start introducing a new one every week.
