Moms of 5-6 month olds-schedule question

Just curious what your schedule looks like for your 5 or 6 month old. DD sort of fell into her own sleep/eat schedule but I'm trying to find a good place to put in her solids. I want to have everything established before she starts daycare next month. TIA!

Re: Moms of 5-6 month olds-schedule question

my 6 month old's sched

wakes 7-7:30am
6oz bottle when up
Nap by 10am
6 oz bottle at 11:30-12pm
1pm-Stage 2 fruit/veggie-sometimes 2oz bottle-depending if still hungry
Nap by 1:30pm
4pm 6oz bottle
5pm-stage 2 fruit/veggie 2oz bottle
7pm-7oz bottle and bed

She naps about 1 1/2 in the am and 1 1/2-2 hours in the pm. no naps after 4pm otherwise she's up til 8:30-9pm!

HTH's!



ETA: DD totally fell into this schedule-i always fed and feed on demand. Also we don't do cereals :)

8am: BF and 1 1/2 tbl of oatmeal and half container of fruit
10:30 6 oz bottle (but he's only drinking like 4 oz)

Re: Moms of 5-6 month olds-schedule question

we don't have a strict schedule,but her it is:
she wakes up anywhere between 6am and 8am , I bf her , she is up for 2 hours or so and goes back to sleep for 2-3 hours , when she wakes up I feed her again and after that we just go with the flow, I bf her every 2-3 hours , and give her cereal and fruits few times a day (not too much , b/c we just started them) she takes few naps a day, some 30 min some 1-2 hours, I don't let her sleep later than 5, the last feeding is at 7:45-8 , she eats formuls before she goes to sleep 5-6 oz plus some bfing and goes to sleep around 8:30 latest 9.
