Anyone care to share your 5-6 month olds schedule

My son seems to be ignoring the bottle and focusing more on solids lately.

Wake up 630-7am drink 7oz bottle
Play for an hour
Nap until around 930 and eat 2 containers of fruit
Play
Nap
130ish 7oz bottle
Play
Nap
5pm 2 containers of a veggie
Play
730 bedtime bottle of 7oz
830 bed


Although this is #2 I have forgotten everything. Is this ok? When do I add a solid lunch? What if he stops the mid day bottle because he gets solids. Are 2 bottles only ok for 6 months? And when can we start puffs

Anyone care to share your 5-6 month olds schedule

5 months

No real set schedule. It really just depends on when she wakes up bc that could be anytime between 6am and 9am.

She drinks 5-6oz every 3 hours unless she's sleeping. She naps in between most feedings and goes to bed between 10&11pm We have not started solids and will not be starting for at least another month but it is my understanding that formula/bm is much more important than any solids a baby younger than 1 eats. I recently heard this phrase- "food before one, just for fun". Most of their calories should be coming from formula or bm.

My DD is 5 months old and we have not started solids yet. I have talked about it with my daugher's allergist and he said the same thing ElizaRags35 said before age one the majority of a child's nutrition should come from breast milk or formula. We do not have a set schedule but DD nurses every 2-3 hours when awake and sleeps through the night between 8-10 hours. She is a terrible napper and often only takes a couple of short naps a day.

DD is 5 mo and she is still BF and FF. Ped said to wait until 6 mo. I did that with DD#1 and if i remember right really dragged out just cereal for month 6 before I started Veg.
I also forgot what i did with DD#1 but I think I still offered the bottle with a food chaser or vice versa so she never just wanted solids until she was older.

my dd is 7 months and is still not set bc her waking times/napping times vary but for the most part it's sleep, eat, paly repeat Chat Icon (she is sleeping 10-12 hours through the night so when she wakes she downs an 8oz bottle) Our ped said at this point she should still be receiving at least 20oz of milk (bf or ff) She eats 3 meals a day plus takes 4-5 bottles - she won't finish them all but I make sure she is getting well over 20oz . she likes to usually have some milk after a meal.
