8.5 month feeding schedule--please share

nsummy

Hi there. I don't post much but I read a lot and have always found your comments so helpful. I am hoping you can share your feeding schedules for your little ones around 8-9 months. As we get closer to that one-year mark, I just never know if I'm doing the feeding thing right. My LO currently does something like this:

6:30: 4.5 oz bottle (he doesn't like to eat much early in the morning)

8:30-9: 1.25 oz oatmeal with 1 oz fruit and 1 oz of his milk

9:30-10: 5 oz milk

 12:30: 6 oz milk

2:30-3: 1 oz fruit

3:30: 6 oz milk

 6:30: 3 oz veggies

 7:15: 5 oz bedtime bottle

And he still wakes for a 4.5-oz bottle. Our pedi said to wait till 9 months to start weaning, so we are getting close to that point.

So he takes about 30 oz of milk a day and has about 6 oz of solids. I'm a first-time mommy and just don't know how this compares to what other babies his age are doing and what I need to start doing over the next three months to help him be off the bottle by 1 year.

Thoughts? What's your LO doing?

My LO is also 8 1/2 months.  On daycare days, I know she eats breakfast, lunch and a snack plus 20 oz of pumped milk.  I don't know exactly how much food she eats since it's an in-home daycare and food is provided.
