What is your 7 month old eating as far as milk and solids? What times? What are you giving and how much of it? Are you in Stage 2 foods, what??
Right now my LO gets 5- 6 oz bottles per day every 3 1/2 hours or so. She also gets cereal twice a day with her fruit and veggie. Fruit is in the morning for breakfast and veggie is at dinner.
I feel like I need to "up the food" because she downs the solids so quick and I can tell she would want more. But then when do you start cutting down the milk intake??? Any advice I would appreciate!
Re: Schedule for your 7 month old...
Join our wiki and tell us what your baby eats for finger foods.
We do fruit/cereal mix in the mornings, veggie/cereal mix during dinner.
I'm not ready to mix in another meal quite yet, there are days where he still gets bored with what we are giving him currently.
DD gets cereal with fruits for breakfast with a bottle following an hour or to after. Lunch, she has veggies with a little bit of fruit for dessert. Bottles in between and cereal with a veggie mix for dinner.
Elin is...
7:30 Nurse
10:30 4 oz bottle at DC
11:30 Fruit/Oatmeal or Barley
1:30 4 oz bottle at DC
4:15 4 oz bottle at DC
6:15 Nurse followed by a vegetable
She usually nurses around 1am as well.
She gets a Baby Bullet serving (2oz I believe) per "meal", usually some water in a sippy and she started to eat Mum Mums today (she hates Puffs).
I was giving more food at each meal but she wasn't nursing (or bottle feeding at DC) as well and then she was up a lot at night. I am working towards larger bottles during the day but I just can't keep up with pumping that much!
6am: 5.5 ounces BM
930am: 5.5 ounces BM
1030am: 2 tbsp oatmeal, 1 oz BM to wash down
115pm: 6.5 ounces BM
5pm: Stage 1 veggie (we JUST started baby food this week), 5 ounces BM
730pm: 6 ounces BM
My pediatrician said she needs to have 3 meals a day.
I am a breastfeeding/pumping mom of a 7 month old. Here is what we do.
7:00am-ish: Wake up/nurse. After she finishes I prepare breakfast for both of us.
7:30am: we sit and eat breakfast together. She eats 2 tablespoons of baby oatmeal.
8:00am: nap (she sleeps anywhere from an hour to two).
10:00am: Wake up/nurse
Sometime between 10:30/11:00am we eat lunch (she eats 2 tablespoons of rice cereal and 1 tablespoon of veggies. Sometimes she eats a mum mum cracker too).
11:30am: Nap for about an hour (usually takes her a bit to fall asleep on her own)
1:00pm: wake/nurse
4:00pm: nurse
5:00pm: DD eats dinner (2 tablespoons of vegetables and a fruit. Usually feeds herself a mum mum cracker too).
6:00pm: Nurse/bottle
Between 7:30-8:30pm: we start bedtime routine with a bottle of breast milk, continue routine and rock to sleep. DD sleeps through the night until 7am the next day.
