what's feeding your 8mth old?

Question

what's feeding your 8mth old baby? what's your feeding routine/schedule? like to know other mums do and how they cope.

my baby feeds every 4.5 to 5 hours and sleeps average 9 hrs through the night. she takes 7 ounces of milk for breakfast and supper. 3-4 tablespoons cereal followed by 6 ounces of milk.

apples, pears, papaya, bananas, pumpkin, toufu, broccoli, potatos, carrots, avocado are some of what my baby's been eating.

Answer 1

She's 9 months old now, but this has been our schedule for a while now:
Wake about 7:30 and have a 6 oz bottle and about 4 oz of homemade baby food
Nap from 9:30-11:30
7 oz bottle at 11:30
Nap from about 2-4pm
7 oz bottle at 4 and 4 oz homemade baby food
7:45 pm 7 oz bottle and into bed at 8pm followed by 30 minutes of stories and songs.

Foods she's had: cereals, butternut squash, blackberries, mango, peas, green beans, apricots, sweet potatoes, potatoes, yogurt, carrots, avocado, bananas, apples, pears, peaches and I'm sure a few other things I'm forgetting.

Answer 2

Breastmilk. About once every other day he wants some solid food, but it is normally only 4-6 ounces of something I've made him. He'll eat food off of our plates, but not enough to count for anything. We don't have any kind of schedule, he eats when he's hungry and sleeps when he's tired, just like the rest of us.
