feeding schedule was like at 6 months?

I was curious what your feeding schedule was like at 6 months? How many oz. per day and how much solids per day? Right now we are at 29 oz of formula per day and 12-15 tablespoons of solids per day. When did you start increasing the intake? I think she would eat more if we gave it to her but she is in the 95% for weight right now… Just curious – Thank you.

    My LO ate/eats around 30 ounces a day. We will not be increasing formula intake at all; our pediatrician said 30 ounces is enough.  

    We make our own baby food, and I don't know how much it would be in tablespoons.  We measure by ice cubes.  He will typically have two cubes of a fruit or veggie along with a tablespoon and a half of oatmeal (the oatmeal is mixed with a few tablespoons of formula.)

    At around seven months, we increased to a second meal, just oatmeal for now, but we plan to switch the second meal to include a puree soon.

    she's been getting pretty consistent with intake- she gets 3-4 tablespoons of oatmeal in the morning, at dinner time she gets anywhere from 2-3.5 oz (a jar of baby food) and anywhere from 25-30 oz of formula. She's 7.5 months though. At 6 months she was getting the same amount of formula, and only 1 solids a day. 

    when you mean 12-15 tablespoons, do you mean baby spoons? Because, 12-15 in regular spoons is a lot IMO.

    Not sure about BM intake he's EBF, but we are starting on solids and I offer some type of BLW food, so he nibbles on that, but we've also done purees and he take maybe 4 or 5 bites off a baby spoon and he's done.

    At 6.5 months, he gets about 30 - 35 oz of breast milk (21oz at daycare and 2-3 nursing sessions), and about 5 oz (5 ice cubes = 10 tablespoons) of veggie/fruit/legume puree and 1 tablespoon of oatmeal. He also gets 1-2 crackers per day  (MumMum or Yum).   He'd eat more puree if I gave him more.

    My LO takes 26 ozs of formula a day, 2 T of oatmeal and fruit for breakfast, and afternoon snack (yogurt, frozen fruit in mesh feeder, or mum mum), and then half a thing of veggies and half a thing of fruit at dinner. My LO is 22 lbs and 26 in long
