  8am-6oz bottle+1/2 jar fruits with 1-2tblsp of oatmeal

  11am-5-6 oz bottle+1/2 jar veggie with 1-2 tblsp of oatmeal

  2pm- 6oz bottle

  5pm-6 oz bottle

  730ish-6 oz bottle

  We split a stage 2 jar with 2-3 tblsp of oatmeal between the 2 babies and will stick to 2 meals a day until approx. 9 months. We've been on solids since 4 months so we have worked up to those amounts. They have started decreasing the bottles and taking more solids, but they are offered 6 oz each time. HTH!

  At six months, we were nursing five times a day and doing one meal (dinner).  We started with just some cereal (not much) and then within about a week, they were probably eating two oz. of sweet potatoes at the meal.  They ratcheted it up pretty quickly to about four oz. of food at a meal now.

  Wow, mine don't eat nearly that much (we're 1 week short of 6 months). we started solids at 5 months but neither baby eats very much of it, maybe 1-2 tbsp & only at dinner (and I've tried 4 different foods). Guess I need to ask my Dr. about that at the 6 month visit. They eat 5-6 oz of formula 5-6 times a day. Both are great weights & growing so I'm not super concerned but now that they're STTN and don't get the middle of the night bottle most nights, it is something I want to ask the pedi about.

  right now, we just BF but my mother started oatmeal with them on the 3 days that she watches them...so they have that after their bottle.  If I slice an avocado or banana for myself, I share with them.

  I guess soon we'll do more but I am scared that it will make them nurse less and my supply will drop.  I have a very sensative supply.
