Moms of 5 mos olds

Can you share your daily feeding schedule, how much, how often? Thanks!

Re: Moms of 5 or 6 mos olds

I give my daugther a 6 oz. bottle when she wakes up (between 5 and 7 a.m.).
Cereal after her morning nap, which is about 1 hr after she wakes up. After her cereal she gets the rest of the 4 oz bottle that I took the formula from. During the daytime, she gets 4 oz. bottles when she seems hungry. Then, at 4:30 she has her cereal and the rest of the bottle again. And then one more 6 oz. before bedtime.

I BF in the morning, usually around 7 am. He has 8-10 ounces while i work in 4 ounce bottles. I BF at 4pm, 6pm and before bed. He gets up 1-2 times to BF at night.

Re: Moms of 5 mos olds

wow, dd eats a lot i guess. she will be 5 months on the 25th. She has 7-8 oz first thing in the morning when she wakes up, usually around 7 or 8. Then 3 hours later she has cereal and a 6-7 oz bottle. Then 3 hours after that, another 6-7 oz, 3 hours again she has cereal and another 6-7 oz and her last bottle before bed is only 4 oz. She sleeps threw the night so nothing then.

Andrew has 8oz when he wakes up.

Then around 9am oatmeal and fruit.

Then about 10:30ish 8 oz bottle.

Lunch some more oatmeal and fruit.

Another 8 oz bottle around 2:30.

Then some veggies. We tried meat but so far he hates it.

And then maybe another 8 oz's after that before bed.

4 Tbs cereal and 1-3 oz formula - 9 am
Vegetable and 2-6 oz formula - 12 pm
6 oz bottle - 3 pm
4 Tbs cereal and 1-3 oz formula - 6 pm

Then off to bed at 7 - 7:30pm

Re: Moms of 5 mos olds

Lauren is 6 months, but we recently got into a good groove with her schedule in the past week, here it is:

8:30 - wake and 6 oz bottle

9:30 - oatmeal cereal (I never measure!) with 1 jar stage 2 fruit

11 a.m. - nap

1 p.m. - 5 ounce bottle

2 p.m. - 1 jar Stage 2 fruit or veggies (she loves the Beechnut "Sweet Potatoes with apples")

3:30 p.m. - nap

6 p.m. - 4 ounce bottle (doesn't always have this bottle)

6:30 p.m. - rice cereal with 1 veggie. I started meats too, by giving her a half a jar of Gerber Simple recipe "Chicken with Apples", so we officially started meat (I am just going ahead based on my experiences with my first).

8:30-9 p.m. 6 ounce bottle and to bed.
