Re: mom's of 6 mo olds...

Sydney usually takes 2 mini naps that are about 1/2 hour each, one in the morning at about 10ish and one at night at around 6 ish.
She takes one long nap (2+ hours) around 1pm. Lately she has been skipping one or both of her mini naps though and just taking her long one.
She goes to sleep around 10:30 for the night and wakes up between 7:30 and 8:30 in the morning.

as for eating...
Breakfast and dinner is cereal (rice, barley or oatmeal) with fruit. We are on stage 2's and she has pretty much had every fruit and vegetable and now eats the combo's.
lunch is a veggie. She also has about 4-5 six oz bottles throughout the day too.
I think I am going to start giving her some table food soon too.
How is your little man doing?

At her 6 month appt Sydney was 19lb4oz (exactly double her weight)

Re: mom's of 6 mo olds...

Thanks for responding ladies. They really do have the life, don't they?

I feel like Jack's a little far behind in eating....maybe because he's so big and the Ped didn't want him to get too big

Anyway, Jack...

gets up between 7-8:30 usually has 4-6 oz

goes back down for another hour

between 10-11:30am has 5 tsp oatmeal cereal and 1 stage 1 orange veggie and 3-4 oz formula

naps around 1 for 2-3 hours

around 3-4 pm has 6 oz bottle

around 6-7 has dinner: 5 tsp barley cereal and 1 stage 1 orange veggie and 3-4 oz formula

I try to keep him up till bedtime

8:30-9pm squeeze in 1 more 4-6 oz bottle

put down to sleep anytime between 8:45 and 9:45

We haven't even started giving him green veggies yet. We see the ped tomorrow and figured we'd start then. I see some of you have been giving meats and fruits too. I don't want him to be too behind, you know? When do we start with puffs and Zweiback's (sp?)
