6 month old schedule

HI ladies can you tell me your lo's eat & sleep schedule if they are around 6 months old?
Also how much "baby food" are they taking in?

DS is 6 months tomorrow and I feel like his schedule is still all over hte place! Its just hard to get something that works for DS2 and for DS1's active schedule as well!

Thanks!

when i was feeling lost i used to look at babycenter examples

Re: 6 month old schedule

DS is averaging around 5 bottles a day at 5oz each (usually every 3 hours)
He is eating cereal and fruit once a day - usually dinner - we have been having a rough time with the food - he likes it but would rather a bottle

SO he looks like this

7:30am bottle
10:30am bottle
1:30pm bottle
4:30pm bottle
6:30pm 2tbsp cereal and 1/2 fruit
8:00pm bottle

He is STTN around 10-11 hours
He is not the greatest napper and doesn't have a ste schedule - he will fall asleep here and there for 20 min at a time

Re: 6 month old schedule

Wakes up between 7-8am

7:00-8 3tbs cereal mixed w formula

7:30-8ish-5oz bottle

11:30-6-8oz bottle

12-1 1oz fruit or veg

3:30-4 1oz fruit or veg then a 6-8oz bottle
(playing around right now with this feeding and the 12-1 feeding. Thinking of doing yogurt at 12-1 and fruit or veg at this feeding. Sometimes he eats now, other times hes not hungry so we dont push and he will just get a bottle)

7:30 2oz veg

8 6oz bottle

9pm bed


He doesnt have a set nap schedule, but he will nap for 2 hours mid morning and then 1 hr in the afternoon or vice versa. Some days he will only take a 1 hour nap. He STTN from 9pm-7-8am.

DD is 6 months old. - WOW, boy is time flying.

Here is her schedule:

6:45/7:00am: Bottle 1 (5 oz)

8:45/9:00am:
3 tsp Oatmeal/3.5 oz container veggies
3 tsp Oatmeal/3.5 oz container fruit

11:00am: Bottle 2 (4 oz)

1:00pm:
3 tsp Oatmeal/3.5 oz container veggies
3 tsp Oatmeal/3.5 oz container fruit

The 3rd bottle she struggles with & I am going to ask the ped at the next appt if it can be removed. DD loves her solid food!!

Re: 6 month old schedule

This is DS rough schedule - we are struggling a little with the bottles because he doesn't like them!

7:00 AM: Wake-up - sometimes he will have a few oz of formula but sometimes he has NO interst in a bottle when he wakes up - so weird!!!!

8:30 AM: 1 container of fruit with cereal mixed in

9:30 AM: Nap

11:30 AM: Bottle - usually about 5 oz - but sometimes he won't have this bottle until later

12:30 PM: 1 container of vegetable or fruit + 2 TBSP cereal, sippy of water

2:30: Nap

4:30 PM: Sometimes he takes a bottle now, sometimes he won't!

5:30: Dinner - same as lunch

8:00: Bottle (8oz) and goes to bed

Re: 6 month old schedule

i feel like we are also all over the place but here is basically how it goes down:

6am- breastfeed in bed and back to sleep till about 7:30 or so

around 7:30am when he wakes up - he gets an 8oz bottle

10:30 6 oz

1:30 6 oz

4:30 6 oz
5:15 3Tbsp cereal with 2 oz veg or fruit

6pm bed

I didnt choose to put him to sleep this early..he will literally NOT stay up any later.

Re: 6 month old schedule

DD gets 5 feedings a day, two bottles while I'm at work and the other 3 feedings with me. We just started cereal about two weeks ago and introduced veggies last week. Had a little set back due to diaper rash and constipation :(

Schedule right now is as follows:
7:00/7:15 am- Breastfeed
~8:15 am- 1 Tbsp Oatmeal
~8:30/9:00- Nap (1-2 hrs.)
11:00 am- Bottle (7 oz.)
~12:30/1:00 pm- Nap (45 mins-1 hr.)
2:15/2:30 pm- Bottle (7 oz.)
~4:00 pm- Nap sometimes (45 mins-1 hr.)
5:30 pm- Breastfeed
6:30 pm- 1 Tbsp Oatmeal + 1/2 Stage 1 veggie
8:00/8:15 pm- Breastfeed

Naps vary depending on whether she's at day care or home. She sleeps more at home. She was up to 2 Tbsp. rice cereal twice a day + Stage 1 veggie at night, until the diaper rash and constipation. Now I'm trying to ease her back into it. She sleeps about 11 to 12 hrs at night. We are very lucky!
