7 month old feeding schedule??

bluesgurl31

What was/is your baby's feeding schedule like at 7 months? I am going on a 10 day vacation, without the baby , and am working up a schedule for food and bottles. As he is exclusively nursing, and we don't want to introduce formula, I want to make sure we have enough milk stored up. Also, how much were you feeding in each serving? By then, he will be doing breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thanks!!!

We always fed on demand, so I would keep track of feedings for a couple of days and base the amount of milk on that. As for solid foods, food is really for fun before age 1. We did baby-led weaning and skipped purees. Spoon-feeding takes the control away from the baby -- Letting them feed themselves is a more natural extension of breastfeeding, where they decide how much they want and help themselves!
