Default Anyone have any suggestions on a feeding schedule/amounts of a 6 month old??


Hi. I am a first time mom and am just getting into the swing of things with solids. He just started them a few weeks ago and so far so good. My question is Im not sure how much to feed him, I dont want to overfeed him or underfeed him. He weighs 18 pounds. Pretty much what I have been doing on a daily basis is as follows:

breakfast--rice cereal mixed with 1/2 jar of stage 2 fruit then I give him the remainder of the jar of fruit, 1/2 jar of stage 2 veggies and a 4 oz bottle formula

lunch-1/2 jar of stage 2 fruit, 1/2 jar of stage 2 veggies, 4-6 oz bottle formula

dinner-6 oz bottle formula, 1/2 jar of stage 2 fruit, 1/2 jar of stage 2 veggies

before bed: 8 oz bottle of formula

He usually sleeps through the night but sometimes he wakes up and he will get another 4 oz or so of formula

Let me know if you guys think this is too much, not enough? Im not sure how much food he should be getting. Id appreciate any suggestions or if you want to share your feeding schedule with me that would be great!! Thanks!!!!!!
