6 month old sleep/feeding schedule?
What's everyone doing in terms of naps and working solid food into feeding schedule?
Thanks!

Re: 6 month old sleep/feeding schedule?
my son turned 6 months old yesterday. Honestly it depends on the day and where he goes that day.
wakes 5:15am
Bottle 5:45
nap 6:30 (1-2 hours)
solids when he wakes
bottle at 9
nap around 9:30 (1-2 hours)
bottle at 12:30
nap 1-3:30
bottle at 3:30
solids 4:45
bottle at 6
bedtime at 6:30

Re: 6 month old sleep/feeding schedule?
so jealous you have three good naps. I can't get mine to nap like at all... he took two 20 min naps today.
Other than that-- my schedule is same, but I am only doing solids in the afternoon. If he would nap, a lot of other things would fall into place.

Re: 6 month old sleep/feeding schedule?
We are always out in the afternoon so we don't have an "exact" schedule, but a usual day is:
6:00am wake
6:30 bottle
8:00-11:00 nap
11:30 bottle and solids
1:00-2:00 nap
2:30 bottle
4:00-5:30 nap
6:00 solids and bottle
7:30 bath, bottle and bed
My DH likes to see him before he goes down so right now bedtime is closer to 8:30, I am hoping to make it 8 soon.

Re: 6 month old sleep/feeding schedule?
I am crying right now cause my son was colic-he still is alittle. We are tring to get on a day schedule.And I put him down for bedtime the same time as you ladies, but he gets up every 3 hours all night long to eat. I know I have to let him CIO, but I have to put my other 2 sons somewhere else to sleep, otherwise he will wake them up all night.
any tips? do u think he is still hungary if hes eating? I do givehim solids during the day.

he definitely shouldn't be getting up that much to eat at night. He doesn't even technically need to get up once to eat at this point. Just sounds like a habit has been formed. How much is he taking during the day? ounces/solids?
i would start gradually reducing the ounces in his bottles at night and increase them during the day. Does he take a pacifier?

Thanks! He doesnt take a paci. He eats about 6 ounces each bottle. I tried to increase the ounces and he usually doesnt finish it. The problem is he is on Elecare that prescription formula which is thin so I add oatmeal to it. Wish me luck in CIO!
