Can you please share your 5 month old's eating schedule?

DS has been eating solids for over a month. He was only having cereal and fruit. Now I can start giving him vegetables. I just want to know if this schedule sounds ok for now, I'll increase as needed:

am - 1oz fruit, 2Tbs cereal, 6oz bottle
lunch - 1oz vegetable, 1oz fruit, 6oz bottle
pm - 1oz vegetable, 1oz fruit, 6oz bottle
bedtime - 8oz bottle

that sounds good.

JT is on this schedule.

7am - 6oz bottle
9am - 1oz/cube of fruit & 1tbsp of cereal OR 2oz/cubes of fruit
11am - 6oz bottle
1pm - 1oz/cube of veggie (sometimes if he is hungry I add cereal)
3pm - 6oz bottle
5pm - 1oz/cube veggie & 1oz/cube of fruit
7:30pm - 6oz bottle

If he naps too long we drop a meal but never a bottle.

Okay, Athina I think our schedules are perfect and pretty identical lol. I just wasnt sure about giving him fruit 3x a day, but obviously he was doing it before so I guess it would be okay.

My ped said it was ok.

My 5 month old nurses 4 times a day (every 4 hours) and has cereal and fruit/veggie 2 times a day.

Our typical day looks like this:

7:30 BF

9:30 2-3 TBS cereal
2-3 TBS fruit

11:30 BF

3:30 BF

6:00 2-3 TBS ceral
2-3 TBS veggie

7:30 BF


I was thinking about changing his morning cereal time b/c he hasn't been too hungry and hasn't been eating much. Its also right before he naps so I dont' know if its because he's tired. At the 6:00 cereal, he eats it all up!
