8-12 month olds feeding schedule

I know we do this every so often and there are several of ours in this age group.

So what are your cuties eating? Antonio is 9 months and Ifeel like he is not eating enough during the day because he has started waking up for another bottle at night STARVING!

I don't know where to add more food...

6am 6oz bottle
10am 4-5 tablespoons cereal with 1/2 fruit
2pm -4oz jar
3:30pm-6oz bottle
6:00pm 4oz jar
8:00 pm 6-8oz bottle
12am (midnight) 6 oz bottle

Well right now Jake's feeding schedule is all out of wack because he is teething and just getting over being sick, but normally it's very similar to Antonio's and I also felt that he wasn't eating enough. Now I WISH he was eating what he used to! Anyway it goes like this:

6:30am - 3 tbl cereal + 2oz fruit (or a YoBaby) + 4oz bottle

10:30am - 8oz bottle

2:30pm - YoBaby or 4oz jar veggie + 7oz bottle

6:30pm - 4oz jar meat w/veggie + 1oz or so fruit on occasion (we were working up to 6oz) + 8oz bottle.

My boys schedule is:

8:30 7 oz bottle
followed by 2 of the following 3: Cereal / yogurt ( 1/2 a container of yobaby) / fruit ( 2 cubes of fruit, or 2 oz of jarred fruit)

12:30 7 oz bottle
followed by 2 of the 4 cereal / fruit / veggie /yogurt

5:00 7 oz bottle
same food as lunch

8:00 7 oz bottle

I have not started them on meat yet and they have eaten egg yolk, but did not like it.

I also offer a bunch of puffs or some finger food at most meals too.

Re: 8-12 month olds feeding schedule

Joseph has started eating like a horse but his nursing is erratic now... generally his schedule is like this

6AM - wakes, nurses
7AM - puffs (loves 'em!)
8AM - nurses
9:30 - 1 jar of oatmeal and pears w/ cinnimon and usually an egg yolk or some pieces of waffles
12 - nurses
2 - 1/2 (or full) jar veggies w/ 6tblspns oatmeal and whatever finger foods - baked potato or fries or some turkey or american cheese
5 - nurses
6-7PM - 10-11 tblspns oatmeal and some of whatever we're having for dinner (very little - he's usually stuffed from his dinner)

then I nurse him when I go to bed usually 9-10. But on any given day his BM intake could be less. Solids are always the same.

Re: 8-12 month olds feeding schedule

These times are all approx.....he gets up anywhere between 6:30-8 so I adjust the rest....

-Wake / BF
-Between 8-9 cereal (not sure how much, I just pour it in) with 1/2 jar fruit or yogart
-About 11or12 BF
-About 2 or so 1/2 jar fruit 1/2 veggie (or yogart if not for breakfast, cottage cheese, avacado..)
-About 4-5 BF
-About 6 - 6:30 Rice cereal, 1/2 jar veggie and some stage 2 meat dinner.
-8:30 or so BF

In between these feedings I give him some american cheese, banana (or other fruit), cherrios or puffs.

My guys a little guy and I'm trying to help him catch up!

ETA: He is 9 months

Hmmmm. I guess I'm the only one who hardly ever uses cereal. She eats everything without it so I hardly mix it in anything anymore.
