eating

I'm curious how often your LOs eat solids every day. Like every 2 hours, 3 hours, etc.
I started doing 3 meals now, and he seems interested in 2 small snacks.
I used to do spoon feeding and then finish that feed off with finger foods but I decided it would make more sense to let him eat more through out the day, instead of all at once. So now he's eating approximately every 2 hours or so.
Does this sound right?

We wake up at 8 or 9, and have breakfast
Snack around 11 or 12
Lunch.. around 2
Snack around 4
Dinner around 6 or 7

He's still nursing approximately 4 times a day, and he seems to be sleeping better at night with this new solids schedule. We started 2 or 3 days ago, I just want to make sure it's good.

We have been off lately since around Thanksgiving. She started only wanting "real" food and then she got sick and didn't want anything but cheerios. But essentially - right before she gave up baby food at thanksgiving - our schedule was very similar to yours. Right now we're trying to get back into our habits - so we are looking at:

8: wake up, cheerios (she will snack from her bowl on the floor all morning). Nurse

11: nurse and nap

12-1: have lunch - yogurt, cereal/baby food

2ish: nurse

around 3-5 she will snack again. She will probably snack - nurse in here too.

6-7 dinner which consists of snacking off my plate.

8: nurse

If she's still awake at 10 - nurse and bed.

Breakfast-7:30- half of a pancake/waffle/french toast with yogurt and fruit puree

Bottle-9 am (nap)

11:30- lunch- grilled cheese/pb and j/ scrambled egg (he eats most of the sandwiches and all of the egg) and trying to incorporate whole veggies (he prefers the purees).

2pm- bottle, then nap

4- snack- cut up fruit or cheerioes

6:30- dinner- whatever we're having or one of the lunch options

DD eats lunch and dinner only, no snacks. She normally eats 5oz for lunch and 4oz for dinner, maybe a small number of puffs with lunch, and occasionally a very small amount of table food with dinner, like less than an ounce.

Lucia eats breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is about 5 or so hours between these meals, she eats when we do She has 3 to 4 bottles in there too. No snacks, unless we are eating one, which is rare. We will probably add in snacks when she stops her bottle, but for now if I give her snacks she refuses the bottle.
