Help with 7 month old feeding/sleeping schedule

TelycoTelyco
in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

My little guy has become quite a problem the past few weeks - esp after his morning nap through the afternoon. I think his eating habits are changing since we have started him on solids twice a day. Just wondering if I could see some approx feeding/sleeping schedules to compare mine to.  I'm thinking that feeding him breakfast after his morning nap (at 9:30ish) is causing him to not be hungry at lunch, so he goes down for his nap without enough in his belly. He wakes up too early and will only eat a little - gets overtired...cries, cries, cries...it just snowballs.

Thank you!!

    This is typical:

    6am--full (6 oz) bottle

    9:30--oatmeal and 4 ounce bottle

    Noon--full bottle

    3pm--fruit and 3 ounces

    5:30--full bottle

    6:30-rice cereal and veggie

    7:30--small bottle right before bed

    He usually naps every 1.5-2 hours that he is awake, and the length just varies, sometimes 1 hour, sometimes 2 hours.

    This is just a rough estimate of what happens with him each day.  GL to you.

    6:00 am (6 oz bottle)

    Nap 8:00-9:00

    9:00 am (breakfast ? 1 or 2 containers of food)

    10:30 am (6 oz bottle)

    Nap 12:30-2:00

    1:30 pm (lunch ? 1 or 2 containers of food)

    3:00 pm (6 oz bottle)

    Nap 4:00-4:45

    5:30 pm (dinner ? 1 or 2 containers of food)

    6:15 bath time

    7:00 pm (6 oz bottle)

    7:45 bed time?

     

    Of course, with all the formula he gets, he often doesn't drink the full bottles.  I have a big boy so it takes a little more to satisfy his hunger (21.8 lbs)

    DD is just now starting to eat her solids, so our schedule will likely change soon. 

    7am Nurse
    8:30/9 - Start first nap (usually about 45 mins)
    10 - Bottle (6 to 7 oz)
    11:30/12 - Start second nap
    2/2:30 - Bottle (6 to 7oz)
    3:30/4 - Nap 3, usually only if Nap 2 was short
    5:20 - Nurse
    5:45 - Attempt solids
    7:00 Nurse
    10:30pm to 12am - Nurse (but not every night, she sometimes STTN)

    Our schedule is continually 'evolving', so this is what we're doing currently, but tomorrow her eating, in particular, could be very different.

     7:15am  7oz bottle

    8:15am  1 container yogurt, and part of an english muffin, pancake, etc.

    9-11am Nap

    11:00am  7oz bottle (usually doesn't take all of it)

    12:15pm  1 container veggies, 1 container fruit and sometimes some puffs or solid fruit like frozen mango

    1-3pm  Nap

    3:30pm  7oz bottle

    5:30pm  1 container protein/veggie, 1 container fruit or veggies and then she'll usually snack on some cheese or the like.

    6:30pm  Bedtime
