Here is about what Emily's schedule is like. Some days she doesn't finish all of her bottles, some days she doesn't finish all of her cereal/fruit.

7:30am - 6 oz bottle
8:30am (at babysitters) 3 tbsp cereal w/ whole jar (stage 1) fruit

11am - 6 oz bottle
12pm - 3 tbsp cereal w/ fruit

3:30pm - 6 oz bottle

6pm - 6 oz bottle
7pm - cereal/veggies

9pm - 6 oz bottle

ETA: We use rice and oatmeal -- alternate them with feedings -- haven't tried barley yet. THe doctor did tell us though to start meats sometime this month -- I didn't ask about stage 2 though for fruits/veggies but I'm assuming it's okay if she wants us to start meats.

When Abby was five months old my schedule was very similar to yours. She also had a 6 ounce bottle at 6am but then I waited till a little before 8am to give her breakfast. She got 2 Tbls. of oatmeal and a jar of fruit. She got another bottle at 10am and then lunch at noon. lunch was a jar of veggies. Another bottle at 3pm, dinner at 6pm another jar of Veggies and a half a jar of fruit and then a final bottle around 7:30pm.

Schedule? What's that. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I try to get Miranda to eat as much as I can as often as I can. Sometimes she eats solids once, sometimes twice, sometimes three times in a day.
Bottles are anywhere from 2-4oz whenever I think she'll take them.
You would think she came from skinny parents that didn't like to eat. Chat Icon Chat Icon

my daughters schedule is something like this:

7 am- 6 oz bottle
11 am- 6 ounce bottle
2 tbls. cereal (oatmeal,barley or rice)
2 tbls. fruit
2:30pm- 6 oz bottle
6 pm- 6 oz bottle
2 tbls. cereal
2 tbls. fruit
9 pm- 6oz bottle (goodnight!!)

My doctor had me start all the cereals, 3 days on each to see for allergy at 4 months, then start the fruits at 5 months and veggies we start at 6 months. It is different then most people I talk to but seems to working so far.

Well we are very behind. Steven's schedule is:

1st bottle 7 ounces

2nd bottle 7 ounces with cereal and 1/2 bottle 1st stage fruit

3rd bottle 7 ounces

4th bottle 7 ounces

Although I'm starting 8 ounces today because I think he's still hungry.

We use oatmeal or barley. Haven't tried rice yet because I was told it was constipating and my boy is not the best pooper!!Chat Icon

I nurse Alex in the morning before daycare (about 6-8 ounces). While at daycare she gets about 18-20 ounces of milk and one feeding of rice cereal and veggies. When she comes home I nurse her again, about 2-4 ounces, at 5pm. Rice cereal & veggies at 6pm, last bottle of formula (6 ounces) at 7pm.

She usually wakes at least one time during the night for another bottle of formula.
