How much cereal?
2006-10-10 04:59:58 · update #1
How much formula?
2006-10-10 05:00:54 · update #2
HAS BEEN EDITED
Here is our schedule:
7:00 Bottle (6 oz)
10:00 Oatmeal w/ applesauce (and a sippy to play with) (6oz of formula mixed with oatmeal until thick, fed with a spoon)
In between a bottle/sippy if needed (6oz)
1:00 Stage two vegetable w/ crackers (and a sippy to play with)
4:30 Stage three dinner (and a sippy of juice while my husband and I eat dinner)
In between a bottle/sippy if needed (6oz)
7:30 Oatmeal w/ Graduates crisps (little cherry flavored things) (6oz of formula mixed with oatmeal until thick, fed with a spoon)
Of course it depends on what you want to do with your child or what his natural routine is. I normally feed my son right before naps--so he can sleep without being hungry. Hope this helps! Best of luck.

My daughter will be 8 months on the 12th. Her schedule now is:
(stage 1 jars are the smallest jars available in stores)
6:30am 8 oz bottle
10:30am 2tbsp rice or oatmeal cereal with 1/2 jar stage 1 fruit & 4oz formula
2:30pm 1/2 jar of stage 1 vegi with 1/2 jar of stage 1 fruit w/ 4oz formula
6:30pm 1/2 jar of stage 1 vegi with 1/2 jar of stage 1 fruit w/6 oz formula. Thats it for the night....
I will be switching her to stage 2 next week because it seems like the stage 1 isn't keeping her satisfied.

She drank a bottle of milk when she waked and a little bit later she ate breakfast. (Cereal and fruits)
Lunch time she got vegetables, starch and meat (Put in food processor so that the texture is right) She got no milk during lunch (Tea, water or dilute juice)
Afternoon snack was a bottle of milk.
Supper was something that contained starch because it made her sleep better. (No milk)
She got a bottle before she went to bed.
My daughter is now almost 3 years old. She still sleeps through the night from since she was 5 months old.
I have no problem with giving her food. She eats very well and I am sure it is because I didn't give her milk every time she cried. At 1 year old she should be eating with the family

Bottle every 4-5 hours. I also believe you begin to introduce rice cereal. Initially it is less about how much they take in and more about how they learn to be fed from a spoon. They also are getting a new taste and consistency. Hardly any gets in their mouths and mostly goes all over but that is ok.

About a bottle every 4 to 5 hours.

I love this information on this baby food site. It gave me some ideas. You don't have to follow it directly because each baby is different.
