FF LO and Solids

Daisy622Daisy622 member
in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

so LO has been on solids for about 6 weeks now - we started early with cereal and gradually tried potatoes (sweet and regular), peas, carrots, squash/zuchinni, corn, chicken, pears, apples, bananas, avacados, and peaches.  The only thing she has not liked are green beans.  Anyway - right now we have the following schedule:

630 - Bottle

8 - Fruit

10 - Bottle

130 - Bottle

230 - Oatmeal (at daycare)

430-5  - Bottle

6 - Veggie

730 - Bottle

 

At the end of the day she has 27 ounces of formula, 2 oz fruit, cereal, and 2-3 oz veggies.

I guess my question is at what point do you start feeding more solids and less bottles?  Between 5-bedtime she is eating every single hour and I am not sure that is what we should be doing or not.  Also, how much food are you giving your LO?  Should I replace the cereal/oatmeal at daycare with something more substantial ? another veggie or a fruit?  I am not sure if it is different for formula fed kids or not so that?s why I am asking.

    Our schedule:

    7:30 am - 6 oz. bottle

    8:30 am - 4 tbs. oatmeal (sometimes toast and egg instead or fruit)

    11:30 am - 6 oz. bottle

    12:30 pm - 6 oz. puree

    3:30 pm - 6 oz. bottle

    4:30 - 6 pm - whatever we are eating (the time varies)

    8 pm - 6 oz. bottle & 2 1/2 tbs cereal

    My son eats alot.  He doesn't always finish his bottles.  Some days he does other days he'd prefer solids.  I'm just going with the flow right now and let him eat when he's hungry.

    Here is my DD's schedule (she just turned 8 months):

    6am -7 - 8 oz

    9am - 4 oz fruit

    11am - 8 oz

    1pm - 4 oz veggie

    4pm - 8 oz

    6pm - 4 oz veggie, plus fresh fruit - cantelope, strawberries, banana, etc.

    8pm - 8 oz

    It seems like a lot to me, but she eats it all and never pushes away. Daycare feeds her breakfast & lunch, when I am home with her I give her more "table foods" that purees.

    8 am- 6 oz bottle

    10 am- 4 oz fruit or veggie

    12 pm- 6 oz bottle

    4 pm- 6 oz bottle

    6 pm- 4 oz fruit/veggie

    7-8 pm- 6 oz bottle

    Throughout the day she snacks on finger foods (puffs, fruits, cheese or whatever I'm eating).  Sometimes she'll still seem hungry after her last bottle so I'll offer an extra 2 oz formula.
