Can you please share your LO's schedule- time line, oz of formula or bm, solids if any.I'm just looking to see what everyone's doing...

Thanks!

We really didn't have a schedule until about 2 weeks ago, when he kind of developed one on his own.

Every bottle is 7.5 oz. He eats (approximately) at 8, 11:30, 4, and 8:30 (bed time). The times can vary by about 1/2 hr. He gets solids once mid morning, and once in the evening before bed. How much changes every day, but on average it's about a Tbsp. each time.

This our schedule during the week. 5:30a - nurse, 9a, noon, and 3p - 5 oz bottle, nurse at 6p, nurse again at bed btw 7:30-8:00, dream nurse at 9:30-10:00. On the weekends, I just nurse her and generally we stick to the times above, but sometimes her 1st feed of the day is closer to 6a or so.

We aren't starting cereal or solids until mid-August (after her 6 month appointment). I'm in no hurry to change things at this point, mostly because it makes me sad she is growing up so fast!

Here it is - give or take depending on the day and LOs mood

8:30 a.m. rice/oatmael cereal (probably about 1/4 - 1/2 cup) & 3.5 oz of formula

Noon 4 oz. of solids & 5 oz of formula (sometimes LO doesn't want it until an hour after the solids)

3:30 p.m. 5 oz formula

*whenver we eat dinner - 4 oz solids

6:30 p.m. 5 oz formula

8:30 p.m. 7 oz formula

Yikes, we don't really have a schedule. I probably fed him at 8, 12, 2:30, 5, 7 and 9 pm with a 2:30 or 3 am feeding and another one at 6 am. I'm breast feeding and we have started DS on rice cereal in the evenings, and just today he ate a banana!

My lo eats about 7 oz between 6:45 and 7am,and then every 3.5 to 4 hrs eats 4.5 oz. so that's about 5 bottles a day. She's usually in bed between 8-830 but some days she switches up the times of the first and last feedings and I just go with it.

It can vary, but here it is in general:

7:30am: 6oz bottle

8:15 1 Tbsp oatmeal with 1 Tbsp. fruit

10:30: 6 oz. bottle

1:30/2:00: 6 oz. bottle

4:00/4:30: 2 Tbsp. veggie

5:00: 6 oz. bottle

As part of bedtime routine around 7pm: usually about 3-5oz. bottle

We EBF, but if she gets a bottle because I am away, I leave a 4oz bottle and it's always been enough. We eats generally around these times; 3am, 7:30am, 10:30am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, sometimes there's an extra thrown in there late afternoon or mid-morning, but these times I can pretty much count on.

DS is almost 5 months and still EBF. On the weekends he eats every two hours during the day, and every three-ish hours during the night. During the week, he eats at 6, 8, 3 oz bottle btw 10-11, I nurse at 12, 3oz bottle btw 2-4, I nurse 5-5:30, 7, 10:30, and whenever else he gets up during the night as long as it has been more than two hours.

Thanks for the responses.

We EBF and I leave 4 oz bottles when we are apart (I work 3 days a week)

Eats roughly the same time every day: 2:30am, 7, 9:30, 12, 2:30, 5, 7:30. We feed on demand, but I swear you could set a clock by DD now! Occasionally, she will want to cluster feed in the evenings, and she'll take a feed around 6, but those times are getting fewer and farther in between.

jnickers98 · June 2012

DD is pretty consistent:

8:00- 8oz breast milk

12:00 - 6-7oz formula

4:00 - 7-8oz breast milk

6:00 - 1/3 jar puree & oatmeal mixed with 0.5oz breast milk

8:00 - 7-8oz formula

7 ounce bottles each time, one at 6am, 9:30am, 12:30, 4:00 and 7:00. we feed on demand so it changes slightly but always within 30 mins of this schedule.
