Still has 5 bottles a day = 30-32 ounces a day. approximetly 7am, 10am,1p, 4pm & 7pm

My questions are
Does this seem right?
When do i start stage 2

You can start stange 2 anytime you want. Stage 2 is just mixed flavors. So I would start with stuff you know he has had.

I only gave oatmeal in the Am and then would give fruit and veggie or double veggie at night.

My Ped had us add 3rd meal at 9 months.

Bottles - he had about 24 oz a day.

Re: Solids

It looks like you are doing everything right. We started 3 meals around 6 months but didn't do oatmeal with the 3rd meal. Just a fruit or veggie. You should be able to start stage 2 foods now. As long as he had one of the 2 fruits or veggie in the jar. As for bottles my ds was still drinking 5 bottles at that age. He dropped to 4 bottles around 8 months & then 3 bottles around 1.

Re: Solids

We moved DD on to stage 2 at 6 months.

She only has 4 bottles/day.

We still give oatmeal with each jar. She eats the whole 4 oz jar of stage 2 with each meal.

Your schedule sounds great - you can move him to stage 2 or give him a whole jar of stage 1 with each meal.

Maybe if you add the whole jar he'll naturally drop a bottle.

Her sched at 7 months is this:

8:00AM - 6 oz bottle

10:30AM - 1.5 tbsp oatmeal/4 oz jar stage 2 fruit

1:00PM - 7 oz bottle

4:00PM - 7 oz bottle

6:30PM - 2 tbsp oatmeal/4oz jar stage 2 veg

8:00PM - 6 oz bottle

Give or take a 1/2 hour.
