Also, are your babies eating stage 2?

Nap 9:30am

Re: what does your6 or 7 month old eat?

My son is almost 7 mos. He eats all stage 2 now. We started cereal at 3.5 mos and fruit/veggies at 4.5 mos.

His schedule...

wakeup 1-2 oz of formula

9ish about 1/4 c cereal and jar of fruit

12ish jar of meat mixture and maybe half jar of something else and maybe some sips of water from a sippy cup

3ish 6oz bottle

6ish 6 oz bottle

730ish 1/4 c cereal and jar of veggies

930 - 5-7 oz bottle

My son boycotts bottles in the am. So sometimes in the am - I add more formula than necessary to his cereal. My older son had a similar schedule except he had more formula in a day - he us to eat closer to 28oz in a day. This one more like 15-18oz on a good day and it bothered me. My ped said it was fine as long as he has wet diapers and he is obviously growing - he is over 20lbs.

DS just turned 7 months:

6am - 6 oz. bottle

9am - either a jar of stage 2 oatmeal and fruit OR a quarter cup of cereal and half a jar of stage 2 fruit


9:30am - 4 oz bottle

1pm - stage 2 veg. with either yo baby yogurt of half jar of fruit

1:30 pm - 4 oz bottle

***if he is home we will give him water to hold him off to dinner. However, 3 days a week he is in daycare where he gets another 4 oz bottle at around 4pm

6pm dinner - stage 2 meat mixture OR veg with pastina with fruit OR ricotta cheese. Depends really.

7pm - 6 oz. bottle
