what is/was your feeding schedule with a 5 month old??

TIA!

Re: what is/was your feeding schedule with a 5 month old??

Here's ours- still working out the kinks

6am- breast-feeding
7:30- Rice cereal
9:00am- bottle of formula- 3oz
11:30am- 1/2 1 stage fruit or veg
followed by breastfeeding
3pm- bottle-3oz
5pm-breastfeeding
6pm- bottle-3oz
7pm- bed

As you can see she likes small meals more frequently. Its tough to schedule- I am trying to feed her more and less often but she doesn't eat that much in one sitting.

Ok I'm not 100% sure if this is right, but this is what we do. DD is a late riser so we begin a little late.

8am/9am (depending on when she gets up) 7 oz bottle

11am/12pm- Tablespoon of cereal +formula

3pm- 8 oz bottle but only takes between 6-7

6pm- 1 tablespoon of cereal +formula

8/8:30- 8 oz bottle

We start veggies next week.

Re: what is/was your feeding schedule with a 5 month old??

6:00am 8 oz bottle with formula
8:30/9:00 cereal mixed with fruit and a 8oz bottle if he is still hungry
12:00 vegetables and a 8 oz bottle
3:00 8 oz bottle with formula
6:00 cereal with fruit and a 8oz bottle
8:00 a few ounces of formula before he goes to bed if he is still hungry

Right now we are just doing one feeding of cereal a day and I just want to make sure he eats enough bc he doesnt take a lot of formula at once
6am 5 oz formula
10am 2 tablespoons of cereal and formula and about 4 oz bottle
2pm 5 oz bottle
6pm 4 oz bottle
10pm 5 oz bottle.

We just want to make sure he keeps gaining
