4.5 months old eating schedule?

We just started solids this week. She loved the rice cereal- I didn't her all of it though bc I want to make sure her tummy can handle it.

Can you give me your feeding schedule for your 4-5 month old? Thanks!

DS is 5 months and started cereal/solids at 4 months. This is what we do now.

Wakes at 7am
3.5 Tbsp cereal with 1 fruit, we also make a 5 oz bottle, but he rarely drinks what's left after mixing formula with the cereal.

11AM: Veggie & 5 oz bottle

3pm: 8 oz bottle

6:30ish: 3.5 Tbsp cereal with 1 fruit and the rest of a 5 oz bottle.

Asleep by 7:30pm - 8pm.

When we started cereal, we started slow with 4 tsp first and built up from there as his appetite increased.

Re: 4.5 months old eating schedule?

we're delaying soliids until 5 months but when we discussed adding cereal the pediatrician recommended that we introduce it 2x daily and when we had time and didnt have to rush- thought I would mention that

good luck
