What did/do you feed your 5 month old?

I feel so lost. Grace gets 5 bottles a day. She usually drinks about 30 ounces. In the morning before her second bottle I have been giving her 3 tablespoons of cereal and 1/2 jar of fruit. At dinner time I have been giving her 1 jar of vegetables and 1/2 jar of friut then a bottle. Is this too much, too little? Should I be giving her cereal more than once a day? She can't get enough of the food and has started scaling back on the formula. She used to drink up to 35 ounces. Any advice would be appreciated. She doesn't go back to the doctor until Halloween and she'll almost be 7 months. I am only giving her stage 1 foods now. Thanks in advance.

Logan is 4 1/2 months. He has 5 bottles a day 6 oz each.
He also has 5 TBSP of cereal in the morning and 5 at night. Right now he is eating rice cereal and oatmeal. We will try the barley in about a week.
He hasnt started any jar food yet... b/c the doctor said to wait until his 5 month check up.

Thats Ali. I hope I didn't start too early. The doctor didn't really say wait just start with greens, etc. By the way, I started giving Grace Barley this past weekend and she loved it. Not sure if it was the barley or she has finally really gotten the hang of eating from the spoon!

When marissa was 5 months I was giving her rice cereal and a jar of fruit I would give her as much as she ate out of the jar sometimes it would be 1/2 sometime 3/4 of it and some formula.

Lunch would be veggies and fruit again how ever much she ate I would rotate each spoon so she would get the equal amount of each. and I gave her water with that

For dinner it would be oatmeal cereal and fruit and formula


she would get other bottles during the day some with formula and some with water
