EBF moms- what's your schedule for your 5 month old?
Having trouble figuring out when to BF, feed solid food, and get in naps. They all seem to fall at the same time.

Re: EBF moms- what's your schedule for your 5 month old?
DH stays home with our DD. Shes not on a solid food schedule yet, we just give her some stuff to taste every few days.
She gets 6 ounces of breastmilk every 3 hours. Usually wakes at 8am, so 8am, 11, 2pm. Then she nurses on demand when I get home around 5:30.
She is not on a nap schedule. The last half hour when she is about to eat again is when she gets cranky and will fall asleep for like 20 minutes or so. But whoever has babies that nap for hours at a time - YOU ARE SO LUCKY!

Re: EBF moms- what's your schedule for your 5 month old?
tiny tot started have a taste of solids here and there at 5 1/2 months. here's what her schedule was like at 6 months.
620am - wake up time. nurse for 15-20mins
9am- 3 tablespoons of oatmeal 1 cube of fruit
1030am- 6.5oz of bm
12pm-1 cube of veggie 1 cube of fruit
1:30pm -6.5oz of bm
4:30pm -6.5oz of bm
7pm - 3 tablespoons of oatmeal 1 cube of fruit
8pm- bath time
815- story time, bed time, nurse for 15-20mins
times vary between the hours of 1030am-430pm since she did not have a set time to nap.
hope this helps

At that age, here was DS' schedule:
6:00am - nursed or 6oz bottle of bm
7:30 am- nap
9:00- solids ( in the beginning it was a tablespoon of oatmeal, but after 3 weeks, he was eating 2 oz of home made fruit or veggie)
10:00- 6 oz bm
11:00- nap
1:30-6 oz bm
4:30- 6 oz bm
4:30- Napped right after his bottle
8:00-6 oz bm or he nursed
8:15-8:30 bedtime
This schedule was pretty much the same until 7 months when I started giving him solids 2 x a day.

Agreed....ds sleeps a half hour on.the.dot. And sometimes it takes me longer then that to get him to fall/stay asleep. I think that's why I'm having such a hard time trying to figure out a schedule

I am not doing solids yet, but here is DD's loose schedule: (which really isn't 100% consistent by any means)
7 am - wake up and nurse
(sometimes wake up is anytime between 5 and 6:30)
8:30 am - nurse
9:00/9:30 am - nap
(sleep 1 1/2 - 2 hrs)
12:30 - nurse
(sometimes nurses again before nap)
1:30 - nap
(very inconsistent in occurrence and length)
4:30 nurse
6:30 nurse
7//7:30 Bed
