Moms of 3-6 month olds..or those who remember (b/c I cant)..

Can you give me an example of your DC schedule???? Especially those whose DC have started solids.

DS is 10 weeks today. We started him on cereal last night (at the direction of our pediatrician). You seriously would of thought that this child has been eating with a spoon!!!! He was opening his mouth like a champ!!! (brag-brag-brag)..

Do you give cereal in place of a bottle??? At the same time???? Its been 8 years and I honestly dont really remember..

This is his present schedule...(without the cereal)

6:30-bottle
10:30-bottle
2:30-bottle
6:30-bottle
10:30-bottle

I need to put him to bed earlier rather than him sleeping later..what would you do???? (last night he went to bed at 9:30 and slept until 6:30)

TIA

2 pm - 7 oz formula
5 pm - 5 1/2 - 6 oz bottle

Also, during the day, she drinks about 3-4 oz of water.

DS is 6 months.

6:00 a.m. 5 oz. bottle
9:00 a.m. 5 oz. bottle then cereal and fruit
1:00 p.m. 5 oz bottle
5:00 p.m. 5 oz bottle
6:30 p.m. cereal and veggies covered in fruit
7:30 p.m. 5 oz bottle, but usually only drinks 3 or 4 oz. since his last bottle was 2 1/2 hours ago and he had dinner.

He doesn't drink a lot at a time. Ped said it's OK.

Good luck!

Thanks ladies!!!!

He seems to be weaning himself off the 5th bottle and I am just so confused....

This is a great place to start...
