how long between bottle and solids?

Just wondering what others are doing. What is your time in between bottles and baby food? How often does your LO get solids?

I breastfeed MS every 4 hours so I feed him solids 2 hours after his second feeding and 2 hours after his 3rd depending on naps.

So he gets 4 milk feedings and 2 solids.

What we do is give bottle and solids at the same time. She gets a 6 oz bottle when she gets up and either yogurt or oatmeal, that's at around 6:30 am. Then she gets another 6 oz bottle around 11/11:30 am depending on naps and a veggie. En she gets another 6 oz bottle and fruit around 4/4:30 pm. And a 8 oz bottle before bed.

We basically got our routine from the day care our LO goes to. We make her food so my measurements are based on 1 oz ice cubes. She eats 3 solid meals a day, about 3 oz of fruit for breakfast with some oatmeal (2-3 Tbsp) and 3 oz of vegetables with oatmeal for lunch and dinner. She also has 4 bottles a day at 6 oz each and gets a snack around 2:30 of applesauce or something like that. Sometimes she wants her bottle right after she's done eating her meal, but most of the time she's happy waiting about a half an hour. Her routine is:

8 am: breakfast  / 9 am: bottle

12 pm: lunch / 1 pm: bottle

2:30 pm: snack

4 pm: bottle

5:30 pm: dinner / 7 pm: bottle
