Re: menu example for babies on solids 4 months old
Isabella has had cereal for about 2 weeks now. She is almost 5 months old.
Our day looks like this:
7:30 6-8 oz. bottle
10:00 2 T of oatmeal
11:00 finishes bottle that made cereal
1:45 6 oz. bottle
4:00 2 T of oatmeal
6:00 6 oz. bottle
9:30 6-8 oz. bottle
She eats anywhere from 2-4 T of cereal and about 30 oz a day.

I think she means that she makes a bottle, takes out x amount of oz to make the cereal and then feeds the leftover bottle to DC.
I do the same thing.

Re: menu example for babies on solids 4 months old
He ranges from 21-28 oz per day .... from my notes, it looks like most days he gets 22 oz of formula.
a typical day is
8:30 5-6 oz
9:30 2 tbs cereal w 2 oz formula mixed in {or prune or pear juice (depends on the poop situation from the day before)}
10-12 Nap
12:00 4-6 oz
1:00 1 container veggies
2-3:30 Nap
3:30 4-6 oz
5:00 2 tbs cereal with 2 oz formula & 1/2 container veggies
6:00 4 oz
6-7:30 Nap
9:30 5-6 oz
He's not a big formula drinker. Most of the time he drinks 4 oz per sitting, sometimes 5oz in the am and at bedtime if he falls asleep while drinking ... rarely I get 6 oz.

i don't think bfing has anything to do with it - i just think every ped is different. i am bfing and my ped basically said that we could start at any point between now and 6 months.
