7 month feeding & sleeping sched.

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
So my son is 7 1/2 months.. His average schedule is : 7a wake up, 8oz bottle of breast milk and then a jar of fruit. About a 45 min - 1 hr nap. Then up to play. Around 11:30 he has some puffs and 6oz formula. Then to nap for an hour. Up to play or have a few puffs ( for only about 30 min max.) then nap until 5/5:30. Jar of veg. Play, bath and 8oz bottle of formula, then bed at 7:00.
Is this an ok schedule? It's only average.. Sometimes he has another bottle in there somewhere. Is this similar to your LO? He is a pretty happy baby ( teething aside!) he is gaining weight great... I just feel like he should eat more?...

    On any given day (he's 7.5 months too)

    Awake 7am, breastfeed
    Play
    7:45 Cereal with a cube of fruit (I make my own food)

    9am nap for 30 - 45 mins (nurse to sleep)
    Play
    Breastfeed

    Lunch is 2-3 cubes total of chick peas & sweet potato, a cube of apple sauce if he still seems hungry

    2nd nap 3hrs after last nap. Usually about an hour. Nurse to sleep

    Play
    Breastfeed

    3rd nap 2 he's after last nap. Nurse to sleep.
    Play

    Some nights I give him solids for dinner, depends.
    Breastfeed
    Play

    Bath, bedtime, nurse to sleep

    I'd skip the puffs. They aren't offering him any nutrition.

    We do the puffs only because he loves feeding himself. Anything else I could give him that he could feed himself but has more nutrition?

    Right now he's only eating formula, puffs, a jar of fruit and a jar if veg? Not much of a variety. You could try going the BLW route if he likes to feed himself? How about a slice of avocado? Or sticks of steamed carrots?

    My dd is 7.5 mo:

    wake 630-7 am nurse

    8am cereal with fruit

    830 nap(1hr)

    1030 nurse

    12 nap(1-1.5 hr)

    130 nurse

    3 nap(1.5hr)

    430 nurse

    530 dinner fruit and veggie mix

    7 bath and nurse

    730 in crib for night

    dd put herself on this schedule around 4mo and sticks to it like crazy. It nuts, right on the dot she gets fussy to either eat or nap. I like it though, it makes my days easy as a SAHM to plan appts or errands. She doesnt get many bottles but when she does she usually only takes 5oz.

    Our guy is up for the day around 7-8 AM. He nurses or takes a bottle about every 3 hours (depending on if I am working or if it's the weekend). He eats lunch between 11 and 1 and he eats dinner between 5 and 6:30.

    He is down to 2 naps most of the time, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, each about 1-2 hours long. Occasionally he will doze in the evenings, but not usually.

    As for other things to let baby feed himself, things that are easy for him to hold and gnaw on could be cooked carrot sticks, asparagus (sounds weird but is our son's FAVORITE), and strips of bell pepper. Oh, and shredded cheese is good, too, as long as you don't have any diary sensitivities. Piece of  ripe banana....

    A quick google search should do you. There's an official BLW website.

    OMG, so jealous that your babe sleeps so well during the day, that's 3 SOLID naps, totally over 5 hours of daytime sleep.  I am psyched if my LO sleeps a total of 2 hours during the day (2 - 1 hour naps).  Enjoy, mama!!  That is A MAZ ING.

    Meh, that's mostly a selfish jealousy :P  My LO is the same way, meaning you and I only get 2-3 hours of breaks from the hard work.  But from a developmental point of view, babies at this age should really only be having two 60-90 minute naps per day.
