Typical eating schedule

Hi all! Sometimes I feel like I'm going to go insane trying to get my LO on a feeding schedule. I was wondering what yours looks like? I feel like everywhere i look the guidelines are different. gerber online has where you can look at a typical feeding schedule but it just seems like a lot of food. i get concerned bc my lo is big for his age. hes 7 1/2 months and is 22lbs. Here is ours.
7am-6 oz bottle
8am-2.5 tbsp of oatmeal with 2tbsp of fruit
9am- 4oz bottle then nap
11am- 2.5 tbsp of rice and 2 tbsp of veggie
1pm- 6oz bottle
4:30-6oz bottle
5:30- 2 tbsp of rice with 2tbsp of veggie and 1.5 tbsp of fruit
7:30-6oz bottle

Re: Typical eating schedule
We don't really have a rigid schedule with DD. On the days I work, she gets a 5 oz bottle of breastmilk every 3 hours, plus some veggies and meat after her noon bottle. She nurses at 6pm, then eats some fruit or veggie, then nurses again before bed. On the days I' m home, she nurses on demand, which is about every 2 hours and she'll also get her lunch and dinner of solids. If she seems interested we'll do some fruit or veggie in the morning too, but most days she just gets solids twice a day
630-7am:6 oz bottle
9am: either oatmeal or rice cereal
1030: fruit then 4oz bottle leading to nap
noon: meat and veggie
2:30: fruit then bottle leading to nap
4:00 6oz bottle
7:00 meat and veggie
8:30-9 6oz bottle
DS Born: 6/02/2012
Tied the Knot: 11/14/2015
Trying for Number Two since 9/1/15
BFP!!! Baby 2 Due: 12/6/21
As for solids he gets them 2 times a day between 10am and 11am for breakfast, between 5pm and 6pm for dinner.
7 am - waffle or toast
9 am - 6 oz bottle
12 - Lunch
1 pm - 6 oz bottle
5 pm - Dinner
6:30 pm - 6 oz bottle
She'll usually wake up around 10/11 for another bottle (6 oz) then sleeps until 7 am.
This for me, except I give her a solid "lunch" instead of breakfast because she is a late sleeper.
8:00a - 6oz bottle
9:00a - 2 tbsp of oatmeal and 2 tbsp of fruit
12:00p - 6oz bottle
4:00p- 6oz bottle
5:30p - 4-5 oz of solids always 2 oz of a veggie and the other 2oz are either of barley or a fruit
7:30p - 6oz bottle
The bottle feedings are sort of a loose schedule, but this is what he's been following lately,.... I'm not starting a 3rd meal until 8-9 months.

Thanks ladies! It's nice to see what your schedules are like!!
this for us too..demand is typically every 2 hours.
We do more of a BLW approach with solids. I don't do many purees except to mix with his oatmeal.
7-8am: 8oz bottle
830-9am 3-4tbsp oatmeal with a container of fruit plus some cheerios or muffin or banana
11am-noon: 8oz bottle
noon: lunch which is whatever we are having - mac-n-cheese or cheese quesdila etc
3-4pm: 8oz bottle
5-530pm: dinner - whatever we are having
645-7pm: 8oz bottle
DS1 was a big boy and still is. He has always been in the 99%tile for weight and height. At 7 months he was eating us out of house and home on purees. It was crazy. He would do 2-3 jars of baby food at each meal. We put him on table food at 7 1/2 months. Ds2 was way smaller but still was a big eater. We did BLW with him b/c he hated to be spoon feed. DS3 is small too and as you can see still eats a ton. I learned after my first to not sweat it. If he's happy and full then that's all that matters.
We started solids at 6 months and I make all of his food except for oatmeal.
Between 6 and 7 Nurse
Between 9 and 10 1 ounce breast milk mixed with oatmeal and some fruit with 4 oz bottle
Around one 5 ounce bottle
After nap around 4pm 4 or 5 ounce bottle with an ounce or two of veggies
Once I am home from work he nurses twice then goes to bed.
We only do two meals because my pedi said not to go to three until 9 months. Her viewpoint is it is for practice not for nutritation and if you feed too much the baby won?t want breast milk or formula.
