I think maybe you can add another solids meal in there? I know our ped said to start with 1 meal, but increase to 2 meals shortly after.

Re: Please post your 6 month old feeding schedule
DD is 6 months tomorrow!
6:00 6oz bottle
6:30 3 tbsp cereal (oatmeal or rice) mixed with formula; half jar fruit
10:30 8oz bottle
12:00 half jar veggies
3:30 8oz bottle
7:00 6oz bottle

we just increased the amount of cereal last week because DD was crying for more after every feeding.

Re: Please post your 6 month old feeding schedule
DD is 5 1/2 months old and her schedule is:
5-6 am 4 oz bottle
9am 5 oz bottle
12pm 2-3 tbsp rice cereal and 1/2 container fruit
1-2pm 5 oz bottle
4-5pm 5 oz bottle
7:30pm 5 oz bottle
9:00pm 2-3 tbsp cereal and 1/2 container fruit or veggie
11pm 4oz bottle
I'm going to ask the ped at her 6 month appt if she should be eating more solid foods.
ETA: I mix her cereal with formula
My daughter is also a grazer...she'll drink a couple of ounces and then stop...then an hour later drink a couple of ounces. But this is a general schedule.

Re: Please post your 6 month old feeding schedule
Chris with be 7 months next weekend...
This has been his schedule for awhile now
7am - 6oz bottle
10:15ish - 4tbsp cereal + 6oz bottle
1:30ish - 1 pkg fruit or veggie + 6 oz bottle
4:30ish - 6oz bottle
8pm - 4tbsp cereal + 1/2 pkg fruit or veggie + 6oz bottle
We also started at 4 months. DS's cereal varies we try to mix it up a bit and we mix it with formula so his bottle is 6oz minus whatever we used to make the cereal
ETA: our ped told us at 4.5 months that DS could have up to 1/2 cup of cereal (8tbsp), 1-2 jars of baby food and up to 36oz of formula, although he may take less formula as we moved up to more foods....

Re: Please post your 6 month old feeding schedule
My DS will be six months old on Saturday! Our schedule:
6-8 am (whenever he wakes up) 6 oz bottle
11:00-12:00 6 oz bottle
3 tb oatmeal mixed with formula
3pm 6 oz bottle
6:00 6 oz bottle
1/2 jar veggies
9 pm- 7 oz bottle
We started solids a month ago. First cereal, then added veggies a few weeks ago. Plan on starting fruit this week. At the six month appt next week I will ask about adding another solid meal. We may just add fruit mid-day and keep a veggie at night.

Re: Please post your 6 month old feeding schedule
DS is about 7.5 months, but we only started solids at 6 months, so his schedule is probably similar. I do think he needs more solid food though--he's still scarfing down the bottles.
He has 5 6 ounce bottles a day, sometimes a little more, roughly 3-4 hours apart.
8:00--2 Tbsp. cereal
1/2 container of fruit or veggies
1:00--3 Tbsp. cereal
1/2 container of fruit or veggies
5 or 6--3 Tbsp.. cereal
1 container of fruit or veggie
