Need help - 7-8month feeding schedule

I think I may be over feeding my almost 8 month old....I feel like I don't know what I should be doing in terms of portion sizes and variety of fruits/veggies. Please help!

wake up 7 oz bottle

9 am ---4 tbs of cereal/ stage 1 fruit 4 oz bottle

1 pm ---stage two meat/veggie combo 6 oz bottle

5 PM 4tbs cereal/stage 1 fruit 6oz

Bedtime 4 oz bottle

can you share your LO's feeding schedule? Thanks.

Re: Need help - 7-8month feeding schedule

My DD doesn't like solids and its been a battle. So she is eating more formula than your DC.

8:30 6 oz.
11:30 7 oz
2:30 7 oz.
5:30 6 oz.
8:30 7 1/2oz.

Always try a fruit or veggie every day, but she's still not wanting anything to do with it.

She'll be 8 months on Saturday.

Ds is seven months today. His feeding schedule is:

8:30- 7oz bottle
11:30- stage two fruit with cereal
1:00- 7oz bottle
3:30- stage two meat or veggie
5:30- 7oz bottle
8:30- 7 oz bottle

In about a half a month i'm going to start doing this schedule: (sippy cup with a little bit of water with meals and puffs for snack)

8:30- 8oz bottle
11:30- stage two fruit with cereal
1:30- stage two veggie
4:30- 8oz bottle
6:30- stage two meat
8:30- 8oz bottle

I don't think you can overfeed at this age. The baby will let you know when they are full. I never measured food....I just let him eat until he's full. If he finishes the bottle and is still sucking like he wants more, I give him more. He pushes the spoon or bottle out when he's done (my twins were the same way).

I use mostly the Plum Organics stage 2 food pouches. I like them because they are combos of fruit and veggies (pears/ peas/ barley OR apple/ carrot). I know he's getting a lot of variety by rotating them throughout the week. I look out for sales and can usually find them for $1 each.

Here's my almost 8mo's schedule.

wake up: 8oz bottle (he gets up around 6)
7am: breakfast (1 packet of food)
8am: 6oz bottle
11am: 8oz bottle
1pm: lunch (1 packet of food)
2pm: 8oz bottle
5pm: 8oz bottle
615pm: dinner (1-2 packets of food)
730pm: 8oz bottle

Hope this helps!

My DS is 7 1/2 mos and some days I feel like I'm over feeding him as well. He definitely seems to know when he's full though.

530 BF
8 1-2 jars/packets food..gen oatmeal/fruit
9/930 BF or 5 oz bottle if @ daycare
11 1-2 jars/packets food veggie/fruit
1 BF or 5 oz bottle
3 mum mums or some baby rice cakes broken up
4 BF or 5 oz bottle
530/6 1-2 jars/packets veggie/beans/grain maybe fruit
BF 630 bed shortly after

DS is very interested in finger foods too. I generally cut up little bits of avocado or banana. DS eats SOO much more than my DD did at this age. I've been doing more of the packets since they seem to have more texture and better blends than the jars.
