Re: 6 months feeding schedule?
I use formula. Typicall DD had 5 bottles, 6ozs each. I fed her twice a day.
AM 2TBS oatmeal and 2TBS fruit
PM 2TBS rice cereal and 2Tbs veggie
Now at 7 months sometimes I give her 3 meals and I mix a fruit and veggie or give her one with that type of combo for lunch.

Re: 6 months feeding schedule?
DD is 6 months and also just started solids. This is approximately her feeding schedule:
8am BF
10am veggies (we haven't started cereal or fruit yet)
12pm 8oz bottle of breast milk
4pm 8oz bottle of breast milk
6pm veggies
8pm BF
On the weekends the 12pm and 4pm bottles are replaced with BF sessions.

Re: 6 months feeding schedule?
DS is almost 6m. This is what we are doing, but I feel it is too much late in the day. He likes to nurse a long time before bed, and he threw up the other night. I have to figure out how to break it up more. The problem is he is really full after his formula bottle and he takes a late afternoon snooze 530-6.
4am BF
8am 4tbs oatmeal
11am BF
12pm 1/2 jar veggie
3pm 7oz formula
6pm 3tbs oatmeal, 1/2 jar fruit
730pm BF

Re: 6 months feeding schedule?
bottles between 615-645am (8oz), 1015-1045am (6-8oz), 215-245pm (6-8oz) and 615-645pm (8-9oz). the exact times depend on her wake-up/nap schedule bc it fluctuates.
I feed her solids 2x a day. once around 445-530pm, again depending on her nap schedule. that feeding is usually 3 ice cubes worth (I make my own food).
the other feeding is 2 cubes - she usually winds up getting it for lunch rather than breakfast, it just seems to work out that way. usually 12-1pm.
dd only eats veggies. she hates oatmeal cereal and every fruit I've tried so far
