5 month olds

What is your feeding schedule? Nap schedule?

How many bottles and ounces? Oatmeal, fruits, veggies?

Milestones?

Re: 5 month olds

My boys will be 5 months on the 30th. They aren't exactly on the same schedule, but this is a rough idea. I also BF on demand, but this is sort of the schedule that they are creating. I haven't started solids yet... I plan to start at 6mo.

6-7am - Wakeup and BF
9am - BF and Nap for about 1 hour
12pm - BF and Nap for about 1 hour
3pm - BF
6pm - BF and down for the night
10pm - BF and back down
3am - BF and back down

Re: 5 month olds

DD will be 5 months next wed. She still isn't on a schedule. I try but there is no consistency yet. The only thing that is consistent is her bedtime. She goes to sleep around 7:30 and wakes around 7-7:30. She is up frequently through the night. I was bf'ing but she starting refusing to nurse about a week ago. So now I am pumping and mixing with formula. I am hoping to increase her intake during the day so she can stretch longer at night. Right now she still eats about every 2-2.5 hrs and drinks about 4-5 oz. I am going to start her on cereal this weekend. Usually she naps on the way to take DD #1 to school for about 20 min and then the other naps are all over the place, one day 20 min the next 2.5 hours. My older dd was on more of a schedule at this age....
