Feeding schedule for 5 month old
HI,
My DS will be 5 months next week. Currently his feeding schedule is:
7:15am 6oz bottle (i have to wake him before i leave for work)
10am 6oz bottle & 2 1/2 tablespoon oatmeal
1pm - 6oz bottle
4pm - 6oz bottle & 2 1/2 tablespoon oatmeal
7pm - 6oz bottle (he has only been taking about 5oz)
9:30pm 6 oz bottle (i put 1 tablespoon rice cereal in bottle, again he has only about 5oz)
This past weekend he slept til 8:30 so he only had 5 bottles instead of the 6 he has during the week.
In 2 wks i will be introducing fruits/veggies.
Please tell me what your feeding schedule is for 5 month old.
TIA!

I notice the bottle isn't the same time as cereal - do you wait a 1/2 or is the bottle right after the cereal.

My DD is BF and bottle fed so I don't know exactly how many oz she is taking. But she eats 5-6 times a day and with her bottles she only has two with 4-5 oz. It seems like your baby is taken a lot of oz. I don't think with the food that your DC needs that many oz, but I may be wrong. Check with your ped

Thanks for all responses.
I did talk to my ped about bottles and when i will be eliminating some and she said DS will let me know. At times he doesnt even finish the 6oz. When i start giving him fruit next week and then veggies hopefully we will be eliminating a bottle
