5-6 month old EPers (or EBF)

How much does your LO eat?  What is your feeding schedule like?  I am wondering if DD is ready to take bigger bottles less frequently, so I want to see what others are doing.

Thanks!

    DS eats about every 3 hours on average.  At daycare he's drinking 5 ounce bottles.  At this age my DD was drinking 6 ounce bottles.

    DS eats every 3-3.5 hours.  Eats an 8 oz bottle in the AM, and 4 6 oz bottles for the remaining ones....  We use milk from the bottle for his cereal prep, veggie mixing, etc.

    Every three hours while at daycare (3 bottles), 5-6oz each.  Basically, I give her what I can pump.

    DS is 6 months and we just started giving baby food regularly, and our day goes by like clockwork. we had started giving bigger bottles, too, but he just seemed hungry all the time, no matter how much milk he drank. thats when i decided it was baby food time

    7am - 6-8oz BM

    8am - oatmeal or fruit

    11am - 5-6oz BM

    3pm- 5-6oz BM

    4pm - veggie

    730pm - 4oz

    830pm - 5-6oz
