I need help! My baby does not want to eat solids at all! I don't know if I am giving too much milk. What is your feeding schedule because I have to adjust mine and i am now totally confused what to do?
What time to you offer bottle and how much?
Thanks so much for your help.
Re: Feeding schedule 8 month old
DD's schedule goes like this (roughly):
7:30 am: 8 oz bottle
8:30 am: cereal & yogurt
11:30 am: 8 oz bottle
12:30 pm: 1 jar of stage 2 fruit
3:30: 8 oz bottle
4:30 pm: 1 jar of stage 2 veggie
7:00 pm: 8 oz bottle
My DS eats:
5:30 am - 6 oz bottle
8:30-9am - 3.5-4 oz fruit with oatmeal or yogurt and a 4 oz bottle
1130-12 - 6 oz bottle
3:00 - 6 oz bottle
6:00-6:30 - 3.5-4 oz veggie, with a few cheese crumbles, ritz crackers, carrots, pasta.....(not all of that, just whatever I choose to give him) 4 oz juice/water mix
8:30 - 6 oz bottle
i also had the same question as to how many oz your 8 mos old eats along with solids.
DS nurses 4-5 times per day (usually 4) - around 7am, 11am, 3-3:30pm and 6:30-7pm. If he takes a bottle, he takes 7-8 oz. He eats 2 solid meals, around 8am and 5-6pm.
Our pedi said that babies can thrive on just milk/formula up to over a year old, so I wouldn't stress much about getting solids in. It's good for practice but their primary source of nutrients his breastmilk/formula right now.
