Feeding Schedule for a 7 Month old??
I ask this every few months and here I am again... what do you/did you feed your baby when they were about 7 month old? How much formula/feeding times etc. I am planning on starting to feed him 3 meals a day - because you know he is skin and bones. LOL
Josiah went to the doctors last week and he weighed in at 22.8 lbs.
He is solid as a rock. I am not feeding him a ton and have no idea how he is gaining all that weight. He only eats baby food, formula and puffs on an occasion. I have a bunch of pictures from our vacation in VT and will post some later on.
TIA!

Wowzers you got yourself one healthy little boy
Libby is a little over 8 months and last week she weighed in at 16lbs 10oz. She has always been on the small side though. We are still only feeding her food 2 times a day but then I usually sit her in her highchair in the evenings while I am cooking and give her puffs, graham crackers, ritz crackers, etc. She could probably eat a half a can of puffs if I allowed her to. She is still only drinking 6oz of formula every 3-4 hours, cereal and fruit in the morning, 1 jar stage 2 dinner in the evening, and sleeping 8-11 hours at night. I have given her 8 oz a few times because I only had the to-go packs of formula on me (4oz each) and one time she drank the whole 8 oz. Probably about half the time she only drinks about 5 oz each sitting.
Can't wait to see pictures!

12:30- Bottle
5:30-Bottle
6:30 Dinner- Fruit or Veggie or both. Sometimes a little cereal
10:00- Bottle
They just started eating those puff things a week ago.
I don't think the twins are the norm eaters especially since we didn't start them on solids until 6 months old.
Nathan just really started solids when he turned 6 months...so overall, he is doing the following...
- 3 meals a day (stage 1 meal) and cereal
- 4 or 5 7 ounce bottles
Nothing else yet....but as I type this he has major gas over there in his crib....hope it is just farting...lol....pewy!
Miss you and cannot wait to see pics!!!

We are thinking of starting his oatmeal and fruit in the morning and then doing an extra veggie/fruit or veggie/meat in the evening to replace that meal.
We started Aethyn on solids around the 4 month mark because of his spitting....we have always had to thicken it for him so most of the time I have to add a little rice to he veggies or oatmeal to his fruit also. It has to be pretty thick for it to stay in his belly. Aethyn is also a restless eater...not picky....but he is just a fussy eater.
Sounds like your little guy is doing just fine!

Because Elijah was hungry (he was breastfeeding every 2 hours), constantly moving and burning everything off, the pediatrician suggested we try him on pureed foods when he was just four months old so he's a little ahead of many of the other babies as far as foods. He took right to it and still loves to eat--he is soley on formula and finger foods now because he wants to do it ALL by himself. I think this was his schedule at 7 months:
6:00 bottle
7:30 oatmeal, pureed/smashed/bits of mushy fruit, toast
9:30 bottle
12:00 green veggie, egg yolks or mashed beans
2:30 bottle
4:00 yogurt, puffs, avacado
5:00 sometimes breastfed
5:30 orange veggie, fruit
7:00 breastfed
We progressed and changed everything starting around 8 months
