I'm new to this board and was just wondering if you mind sharing your 9 month olds feeding schedule and how much you're feeding them (of food and formula).
Thanks!

Our schedule is pretty loose time wise. (I work 3 days a week and DS in day care those days, so times change every day. We just go by when he wakes up and take it from there...)
BUT on any given day, DS takes four 8 oz bottles a day and has 3 *meals* of solids. Really only 2 meals (breakfast and dinner) or substantial (substantial for him anyway, he's not the biggest fan of solids yet). Breakfast is usally yogurt, lunch snack is usually some cheerios, yogurt melts, puffs, or something small, and dinner is a taste of what we're having and either some pureed fruits / veggies or a Gerber Grabber.

OMG your girls are ADORABLE and I don't know HOW you do it! I say the same thing to my friend who has identical girls Our schedule looks like this although varies depending on when DS wakes up....
between 7:30 and 9am wakes up and takes 6 oz bottle, 1 hr after bottle I feed 1 jar of fruit with oatmeal mixed to thicken
about 2 hrs after takes AM nap (about 1-2 hrs), wakes and takes another 6 oz bottle
(I should be giving a lunch but most days skip....need to be consistent) If I do I give a fruit/veggie mixture with rice cereal to thicken..... 1-2 hrs after bottle)
around 2 or 3pm afternoon nap about 2 hrs. (takes 6 oz bottle before nap)
Dinner after nap (usually chicken with veggie and sweet pot mix with rice cereal if needed to thicken)
I'm pretty casual with his schedule (SAHM) - the only things that are set are things that revolve around my 7 yr old with her school...and his own activities. Loosely:
Wake at 6:30-7 and nurse
I wake my daughter at 7:30 and they both eat breakfast, then he plays with her before we leave to bring her to school
When I get back from dropping my daughter at school he nurses/naps at about 8:45-9
Naps from 9-10 (usually)
Up and plays until about 12:30 (we play, sing, dance, read books) or if I have to run an errand that's done in this window too.
Usually nurses around 12:30 then eats lunch around 1.
Naps about 1:30-2:30
Plays and then we leave to p/u my daughter from school at 3
Sometimes we head home, other times we'll run an errand (like going for ice cream! Lol), but most days she plays outside with two of her friends on the playground until about 4.
Back home and he plays with his sister until about 4:30, does a quick nurse and usually conks out for 1/2 hour.
Up at 5 and plays with his sister while I make dinner (anywhere from 1/2 - 1 hr).
We all eat around 5:45ish.
Plays for maybe 15-20 min after dinner
Bath anywhere from 6-6:30 (I follow his cues)
After bath it's straight into his PJs, nurse and sleep
I gave you our WHOLE schedule. You wanted feeding...
He exclusively nurses so I have no idea as to quantity, but he nurses around 5am, 7am, 9am, 12:30/1, 4/4:30, and bed time (6:30).
He eats breakfast around 7:30 (1/2 of a kiwi, an oatmeal pancake and some water, for example).
Lunch is around 1 (small chicken cutlet, maybe 1/4C steamed carrots and some Cheerios or puffs, for example)
Dinner around 5:45 (a meatball, a handful of pasta, some cucumbers and a piece of bread, for example)
In between he gets some freeze dried fruit (blueberries, apples, etc), Puffs, Cheerios, Snapea Crisps with hummus, edamame, etc as snacks if he is looking to eat.
