Just curious to know what other LO Feeding schedule is and what their eating?

His schedule is:

formula at 8am - 4-6 oz,

9:30am is cereal with fruit 1st foods Gerber,

1pm and 4 pm formula 4-6 oz,

6pm cereal with veggie 1st foods gerber

and 9pm formula 4-6 oz.

I will be moving to Gerber 2nd foods this month and blending and pureeing some veggies and fruits.

DD is 6.5 months old. We are doing BLW and usually do breakfast, lunch, and dinners on the weekend and the weekdays I am home. The two days a week that she's in daycare I usually pack a snack for her to have whenever her caretaker eats lunch and she has BM bottles (6oz) on demand and when she's with me I BF on demand. Food before one is just for fun so we have a pretty laid back attitude about it all...

My kid is 7 months. She eats once or twice a day if she seems interested. We do BLW so she sucks on/munches whatever. She doesn't like to swallow yet.

6 am nurses

9 am 4oz breastmilk

12 pm 4oz breastmilk

3 pm 4oz breastmilk

430 pm puree or BLW

6 pm nurses

She is usually asleep by 730pm and will wake around 10pm to nurse again before sttn.

Once we are more familiar with that she doesn't have reactions to, I may bring solids to daycare for her to have. For now this is our weekday schedule. On the weekends we introduce new foods and she will have two solids. They are in between breakfast and lunch and then one at dinner.

He's bottle fed formula on demand, but we usually do a puree or cereal at around 7pm at night (bedtime is 9pm). In a few weeks we're going to send some solids with him to daycare and have her offer some in the morning. He's recently started mooching while I'm eating breakfast in the morning so I think he's ready to move to twice a day.

Formula at 6am, then again at 10am, 2-3 tablespoons cereal and fruit/veg puree around 11:30am, more formula at 1:30 then again around 5pm. 2-3 tablespoons of cereal and meat/veg puree around 6;30-7pm, more formula between 9pm and bedtime which is anywhere from 9:30-11pm.

We do formula basically on demand but he averages 25-30oz per day. DS is 6.5 months and we will be adding another solids meal and move to more mushed as opposed to pureed foods at 7 months.

CherryHolly · April 2014

We were doing bottle at wake up, then about 3-4 hours apart bottle (6 oz each time). Pureed veggies and fruit at dinner (6-7) and then bottle at bed. But I realized my child is HUNGRY.

So we plan on doing bottle at wake up

hour or so later doing cereal and fruit

then bottles throughout the day (3-4 hours apart)

Veggie and Fruit at dinner

Bedtime bottle

We also upped her bottles to 8 oz.

She has her 6 month appt tomorrow so I am going to find out if the switch is good. We may incorporate a lunch solid in soon too.

We use stage 2 baby foods.

PrimRoseMama · May 2014

No real schedule. We have breakfast (boob) then do a snack at Playgroup. Lunch when we get home. Then it's boob on demand until dinner (between 6-7pm). Then boob on demand the rest of the night.

Wash, rinse, repeat.
