dd will be 7 months in about a week.: She is still a peanut (10th percentile) so i'm trying to make sure she's eating enough and I shouldn't give her more even though she seems content. Here is how a typical day goes (i will introduce fruit this weekend so I will be adding that into the day as well)...
7:30am 5 oz bottle of breast milk
9:30am 6 oz bottle of breast milk
12pm 4 tbs of oatmeal cereal with 2 oz breast milk, 1 serving of a veggie
2:30pm 6 oz bottle of breast milk
5:30pm 4 tbs of oatmeal cereal with 2 oz breast milk, 1 serving of a veggie
8pm 5 oz bottle of breast milk
Re: feeding schedule?
DS is formula fed so it's hard to compare... BM sometimes has more calories. I can say that he used to drink around 26 oz of formula a day and that was a struggle... he just wouldn't eat very much, we started him on solids at 4 months on the advice of his Pedi to possibly help his reflux symptoms. It took a month for him to really start to dig solids and now he eats 26-28 oz of formula but like 12 oz of fruits/veggies in a day. He would eat more if I would let him.
7am: 6 oz Bottle
8am: 1 jar fruit
10 am: 4-5 oz bottle
12:30-1 pm: 4-5 oz bottle 1 jar veggie
3-3:30 pm: 4 oz bottle
5:30pm: 1/2 jar veggie, 1/2 jar fruit
7:00 pm: 6 oz Bottle

Charlotte eats 6-8 ounces at 7:30, noon, 4:30, and 7:00. She is not a big eater either so we still do a dreamfeed (4-6 ounces) around 10:30 PM to get some extra food into her.
Solids were causing night wakings for her, so we are taking a break.
