Can someone post a feeding schedule for a 5 month old...

I just started cereal, but I'm so confused on when to give it to him. I also have no idea what to do once I start other foods. THANKS!

My DD is 5.5 months, but has not started solids yet. She won't start until her 6 month ped visit and I get the okay, but I am thinking she will start off in the evening in between her last two bottles. She gets a bottle around 4:30 at daycare and then her bedtime bottle at 7:30.

Re: Can someone post a feeding schedule for a 5 month old...

i am trying to remember as best I can.

I think it was:

7:00 bottle
8:30 cereal
11:00 bottle
2:00 bottle
4:00 bottle
6:30-7ish bottle

those what the approximate times based around her nap schedule. I cant remember at what age i started 3 meals a day but now the schedule (at 11 months) is:

6:00 bottle
7:00 breakfast
8:00 nap

10:00 bottle
11:30 lunch
12:00 nap

2:00 bottle
4:00 nap (quick nap)
5:00 dinner
6:30 bottle
bed

8:00 - cereal and fruit or arrowroot cookies and fruit (i dont measure so i cant tell you but a small bowl full)

9:30- bottle (remainder left over from mixing with cereal so probably 3-4ozs)

12-1230-Lunch- vegetable and fruit

2pm- bottle

530-630-dinner- fruit and oatmeal

730-8: remainder of bottle left over from mixing oatmeal (usually 3-4ozs)

Chloe is 5 1/2 months old. We started Cereal 1 month ago. Were not totally on a schedule yet, but this is an example ( I EBF):

7:00 - BF

9:00 - Oatmeal w/ Fruit

10:30 - BF

1:30 - BF

4:30 - BF

5:30 - MultiGrain cereal w/ Veggie

BF right before bed at 7 to top her off

Chloe still wakes up 2X a night to eat. Usually at 12:30 and again at around 4.

I think i'm going to give her a lunch soon too. Probably a fruit or veggie at around noon.
