Can you look at DC's feeding schedule?

Idk, it seems like she's not drinking enough formula to me. She's satisfied at the end of the day, and I think she has gained since last ped visit, but still it seems off. Can you take a look for me? Oh, and dc is 6 mos old.

8:30am - approx. 6oz of food (Earth's Best) and 1/4 sippy cup filled with water

11:30am - 6-7oz bottle (will add a fruit here shortly)

2:00pm - 6-7oz bottle

5:00pm - approx. 6oz of food and 1/4 sippy cup filled with water

8:30pm - 6-7oz bottle

It just doesn't seem like enough to me...

Re: Can you look at DC's feeding schedule?

I would think she should still take at least 4 bottles a day. I think the rec is somewhere around 24oz at that age.

DD's schedule is

7ish--- 6oz bottle, oatmeal and babyfood

1030/11 ---6oz bottle

230/3 ----6oz bottle

530--- oatmeal and babyfood

7/730---6oz bottle

And BTW.. you totally just killed my guess as to who you are....I thought you had a boy!

She needs to get more formula... the solids is just supplemental at this point.

I would give her a bottle when she first wakes up. BEFORE the solids.

I was always told to nurse or bottle feed BEFORE giving the solids.

Thanks for your input...

Ya see, her ped said that she should get no more than 20oz of formula if she's eating solids twice a day. I'm going by her schedule, and not stretching feedings or anything. Actually, if I try to feed her more when she doesn't want it, she makes the gag face and throws up.

How would I reintroduce another bottle in there if she's been on this schedule for over a month now? I don't want to nutritionally deprive her. How should I do this?

TIA!

What time does she wake up?

I would give her a bottle when she first gets up.

Either that or give her bottle (maybe 4oz instead of 6) before her breakfast.
