Post your 5 month old eating/bottle schedule

Curious to see what everyone's 5 month old is doing! Also, what foods have you introduced? Thanks!

Re: Post your 5 month old eating/bottle schedule

My dd is not the best eater so this is what works for her. Everyone I talk to is different though.

9:30am: 8 oz bottle with 6 tsp oatmeal in it (for reflux)
1:30pm: 4 oz bottle with 2 tsp oatmeal, and new food gets introduced
5:30pm: 4-6 oz bottle with oatmeal, fruit or veggie depending on her last feeding
9:30 pm: 8 oz bottle with 6 tsp oatmeal



I am going to.add in a third solid probably after her 930 bottle. I've tried staggering bottle/solid and she won't eat between. So strange lol

DD just dropped a feeding last week. She's 5.5 months. I nurse her and she gets bottles while I'm at work. The bottles are half BM / half formula.

6:00 - wake and BF
9:00 - 3 TB cereal and 4 oz bottle
1:00 - 2 oz veggie and 6 oz bottle
4:30 - BF
6:30 - 3 TB cereal and 2 oz veggie
7:15 - BF to sleep

That 6:30/7:15 feeding is really one feeding, but we break it up so we can bathe her in between and I can nurse her to sleep.

So she gets milk 5 times a day - 3 times with meals and twice on its own. Breakfast is cereal, lunch is veggie, and dinner is cereal plus veggie.
