Hard time settling into routine for solids?

I am finding my LO isn't on a specific feeding schedule (except every 3 hours or so) and I am randomly picking a good time of day to offer solids.  In the evenings after work, by the time we all get home, have dinner and such, LO is ready for bed!  He is ready between 6 and 7pm.  With that early bedtime, I find it hard to squeeze in his oatmeal or veggie in the evening.  I feel like I am slacking in that department.  Anyone else still trying to figure out a good schedule?

    What I do: I give her solids before her bottle. I give them before her second feeding of the day and before her second to last feeding. 

    Right now, that is what is working for us!

    I haven't started Lucas yet but I always did breakfast with the other two. After their first big nursing session of the day.

    I'm having the same problem.  I think this week I'm going to attempt to have it be the first thing I do when I get home.  After I feed and bathe him, then I'll make dinner for my husband and I.  This past week I attempted to try to feed him at the same time we were eating but that didn't go so well.  I ended up just feeding him, and then eating my food cold.

    meh. we just do it when ever we get the odd chance.  At this point he's just trying stuff out and not really getting much in his stomach so we just do it when we get the chance.  But we do try to do it around a time that one of us is eating as well.  I think when he starts eating full finger food meals; we'll try to get him into a more regular routine.

    Get used to eating a cold meal, it isn't any easier trying to serve and feed older kids, especially if you have more than one.
