6 month eating schedule

I am new to this, please share me your feeding schedule

As of next month we are starting foods 3x a day with formula
We were told oatmeal, stage1 fruit and vegg , yogurt and stage 2 meats

I was thinking formula, 1 tablespoon of oatmeal and 1 teaspoon yogurt for breakfast

Lunch: 1 tablespoon of oatmeal, veggie and fruit for lunch

And dinner : 1 tablespoon of oatmeal w veg and meat

Please share me yours
And if it works, my doctor said to coordinate whatever works w our son and schedule

6 month eating schedule

My son will be 7m next week. Our ped just told us to start stage 2 foods. This is his current schedule.
730ish 7oz bottle
10am 2 containers of stage 2 fruits
130ish 7 oz bottle
430ish 2 containers of stage 2 veggis with meat
7pm 7 oz bottle

And we add rice cereal to all bottles to help with his reflux.
Need to start transitioning thatt 3rd meal in there soon.

Re: 6 month eating schedule

At 6 months we were just starting stage 1 foods:

7am - wake up nurse
10am - 2-3 tablespoons oatmeal with a stage one fruit & a 5oz bottle
1pm - 5oz bottle
4pm - 5oz bottle
7pm - same as 10am

Then after about two weeks we changed to:

7am - wake up nurse
10am - 2-3 tablespoons oatmeal with a stage one fruit & a 5oz bottle
1pm - stage 1 fruit mixed with stage 1 veggie & a 5oz bottle
4pm - 5oz bottle
7pm - same as 10am

At 7.5 months we added in meats and stage 2 foods.

6 month eating schedule

I was told something totally different. I was told to start with one meal a day- introduce orange veggies first each for 4-5 days before moving onto the next then fruits and green veggies. Never giving more then one new food at a time. At 7 months we can introduce oatmeal and then wheat cereal. I was told to introduce meats around 9-10 months. I was encouraged to allow my DD to set the pace. She has food allergies so no milk, beef, soy, etc until after alkergy testing at 11 months.
My pediatrician's attitude is that some children will respond quickly to foods and other will not so the child should set the pace.

6 month eating schedule

We are doing something different. We are doing Baby led weaning (BLW) instead of purees and cereals.

We still introduce one new food every 3 days but we are giving whole table foods and she tries to feed herself (or at least tries to!). We just started about a week ago with apple slices -- we didn't intend to start with these but I was eating apple slices with her in my lap and she literally grabbed it and put it in her mouth. We've continued from there with orange veggies - sweet potato and carrots so far. It's different and not for everyone but so far we're liking it a lot!

Our ped told us we could start with cereal, then introduce veggies and fruit - 1/day for 3 days, and then in a month introduce yogurt and meat.

ETA: We're following the "rule" of "Food before one, just for fun". She doesn't get a lot in her mouth and plays with it mostly. She gets what she needs from breast milk and formula.
