Re: what is your feedig schedule?
We started solids just shy of five months. When we started, it was just once a day and just a little bit. But, within a month or so we were on the schedule we are on now. I have been gradually weaning to bottles (due to a supply issue I once overcame resurfacing). But, this is where we stand now.
7 or 7:30: wake up, nurse
8:30: 2 tablespoons of oatmeal mixed with almost 2 ounces of formula, 2 ounces fruit, 2 ounces vegetable (2 ounces is about half a jar or 2 cubes of homemade and frozen)
10 or 10:30: 5 ounce bottle
1:30: 5 ounce bottle or nurse
4:30: 5 ounce bottle
6:30: same as breakfast, but sometimes replace vegetable with meat
7:30: nurse
We tried rice cereal at the beginning, but found it very constipating so switched to oatmeal which has been fine.
We are just starting to try a bit of finger food, but are in the very early stages.
She eats a 2.5oz jar of green veggies in the AM around 8:30. She drinks BM at 7am and 10am. She will eat another 2.5oz jar of orange veggies in the PM around 7:30. She drinks BM at 6:30 and 9:00pm.
We started solids at 5.5 months and skipped cereals altogether. We went straight to green veggies, then orange veggies. We would give her 1/3 of a jar in the AM on the weekends at first, then slowly moved to 1/2 a jar in the PM on the weekdays. After she started eating a whole jar in the PM for a week or two, we had daycare give her a jar in the AM as well.
We will probably start fruits when she is 7 months next week.
