So lost when it comes to feeding solids

jack5140

I really could use some help  getting on a feeding schedule. Do you feed breakfast at the first feeding and offer bottle after or do you feed bottle/nurse and offer breakfast at another time. Any sample schedules ( including how much) with naps would be great to see. LO is 6 months.

 

Thanks

here's our schedule, but he's STTN. we're at about 27 ounces a day (5 bottles) and alot of solids (3x a day). he's a chunker! when we first started solids he would NEVER take the solids first, even though that's what our pedi recommended. it took about 2-3 weeks of 2 solid meals per day for him to entertain the idea of puree before his bottle. now he's on a pretty set schedule.

7 ounces between 6-630am. 30 min nap at about 8am.

4 tbs. of pureed fruit w/ about 2 tbs. of oatmeal between 930-10am

5 ounces between 10-1030. usually an hour long nap about noon.

6 tbs. of sweet potato between 130-2pm

5 ounces between 2-230pm. usually 30 min nap at about 4pm.

4 tbs. of pureed veggies with about 2 tbs. of rice cereal at about 5:30

5 ounces at about 6pm. sometimes a 20 min nap and usually a bath at 7ish.

4-5 ounces at bedtime. usually between 815-830pm. STTN.

That sounds great...and helpful I'm lost with solids. but DD doesn't wake up until 7 or 8 and is asleep by 8:30. I feel like I'm going to be feeding her all day

A few weeks ago we received our gerber checks/coupons in the mail and there was a nice picture handout that I hung on the fridge (mostly for my H and babysitter). 

We start with a bottle in the morning (4 oz) she then goes back to sleep for hour or two. 

For breakfast we mix plums/banana's/pears/apples or other fruits with outmeal and feed her that.  She gets 4 oz of milk afterwards.

For lunch we give her a sitters container of a vegi and 4 oz bottle

after lunch she gets 1-3 bottles depending on her need (usually 2 unless she seems really hungry)

For dinner we do another vegi, maybe some oatmeal, and another bottle. 

She then gets 4 oz before bed. 

We have also started giving her one bottle of juice/water.  Apple juice so far sometime in the middle of the day.

I feed her in the morning (7ish), then she gets cereal and fruit around 8.  Pretty soon, I'll start an evening meal (so I'll nurse after nap around 5:30, then veggies and fruit around 6). I don't think I'll replace any nursing sessions for a little while still.

For now (times are rough):

7am wakeup and nurse

8:30 solids

9:00 nap

11:00 nurse

12:30 nap

2:30 nurse

4:30 nap

5:30 nurse

6:30 solids

7:30 bottle

8:00 bed

When she's on three meals, it'll look like this (I hope to have dropped a nursing session):

7am wakeup and nurse

8:30 solids

9:00 nap

11:00 nurse

12:00 solids

12:30 nap

2:30 nurse

4:30 nap

5:30 solids

7:30 bottle

8:00 bed
