Moms of 8-10 month old babies
What is your schedule like? How many ounces of formula does your child take and at what times? What types of meals do your children have and at what times? Naptimes? Bedtimes??
John's schedule has been a little wacky lately, so I'm looking to see what others are doing.

DS will be 9 mths on Mon. He eats

Breakfast: milk, 2TBLS of rice, oatmeal, or barley, any one of these. Also 1TBLS
of a fruit or some snack (cracker).
Lunch: The same as breakfast
Dinner: Just milk and veg.
Bed time: Just milk.
He does have some food allergies so I have watch everything I give him.

Re: Moms of 8-10 month old babies
Ryan is 8 months next week (!)
I am finding he wants less bottle/more food so we're trying to adjust to that. Currently it's:
5:30 4oz bottle
8:00 4T cereal, stage 2 fruit
12:00 stage 2 veg, 7 oz bottle
3:30 7 oz bottle
5:30/6 cereal and veg/fruit
7/7:30 7 oz bottle, bed
I am curious to see everyone's schedule too!

Re: Moms of 8-10 month old babies
Hello.
My son is 8 1/2 months old and this is his schedule:
Wakes up around 6am.
Around 7am has 2-3 tbls cereal with 1/2 jar stage 2 fruit mixed in. About 1 hour later he has a 6oz bottle.
Around 11am he takes another bottle anywhere from 4-6 oz.
Lunch is around 2pm and is 1 jar stage 2 veggie and 1 jar stage 2 fruit with a 6oz bottle.
Sometimes around 3-4pm he has a small "snack" bottle of 4-5 oz.
Dinner is 6:00pm and is 1 jar stage 2 meal (like vegetables and beef) and 1/2 jar stage 2 fruit mixed into 2-3 tbls spoons cereal.
Then, an 8oz bottle with 4 tsps rice cereal mixed in just before bed around 7pm.
I am completely unsuccessful in getting him to nap though and it is my biggest problem. I am so jealous of you moms who can get stuff done during the day during your babies' 2 hour naps! I swear my baby NEVER naps. He sleeps through the night though, from 7pm to 6am (although sometimes he gets up a little earlier).
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get this kid to nap I would be forever grateful. 
(edited for spelling)

DS naps for my mom but not for us on the weekends - but a trick that has been working lately is take DS for a walk in the stroller,he falls asleep and we roll the stroller in the house. If he wakes up rock the stroller and he goes back to sleep for a bit
