What's your 7 month olds solid feeding schedule?

Question

I'm trying to get my seven month old on a good solid feeding schedule. Right now I'm feeding:
2-3 tbsp of cereal and 2tbsp of fruit in the morning. 
2tbsp fruit and 2 tbsp veggies at lunch
4-8 tbsp veggies and 2-3 tbsp rice at dinner.

I make all my food so I'm not even sure how many tbsp of each I should aim for.  I'm wanting to add some meat into the schedule but I haven't made any yet and have the three day allergy wait right now.

Does this seem right to you guys?  I asked my pediatrician and she just told me to feed whatever (gee thanks).

TIA. Any input appreciated.

Answer

My pediatrician said to give her however much food she would eat. So right now I give her 5 ounces of food at 9 AM and then another 5 ounces at noon and then 5 ounces at 6 PM.

My LO gets a mix of homemade baby food and store bought.. In the morning it's oatmeal cereal and fruit (if it's my fruit it's two cubes of fruit, store bought one 2oz package)  lunch is 2 cubes of fruit and 2 cubes of veggies (or one package of fruit and one package of veggies) dinner is 2 fruit, 2 veggie, and a 2.5oz jar of meat.. She also gets a snack between lunch and dinner of baby mummum rice rusks or Gerber puff snacks.. She's nurses every 4 hours from wake up (usually 8am) to bedtime (usually 830pm) I mash (keeping it fairly chunky)  and freeze my baby food in ice cube trays, pop them out and put them in freezer bags labeled.. One cube is about 1oz..

We are baby led weaning so kiddo just gets a little of what we are having with each meal (as long as he can pick it up and it's healthy, otherwise I modify something for him). It really doesn't matter how much you are feeding your baby as long as she's interested. All her primary nutrition should be coming from breastmilk or formula, so this should just be teaching her what food is, how to eat, and exploring flavors. Have fun and try not to stress it!

Answer

My 7 month old gets 4 oz of food (veggies or puréed meat) at dinner, sometimes fruit and oatmeal for breakfast and bottle feeds the rest of the day... Haha she has two tiny teeth and hasn't shown interest in real food yet, just the puréed baby food. They say food before the year is pointless, as they need nutrients in milk/formula more than dietary vitamins. She seems to prefer cold formula instead.. Weirdo? I feel like a true JV mom reading what you prepare for your babies... Heh

Answer

We had her on a schedule when we started solids (4 months). We'd do oatmeal cereal w breast milk in the morning, then some fruit or veggies in the afternoon. At this point she's mastered chewing and has 5 teeth (7 months old). She literally eats what we eat when we eat. If we eat fast food I'll give her some fruit or a veggie still but we don't usually. She snatches food off my plate so I really have no choice but to share! Lol!! You're doing great!

Answer

Hum wow. You make me look like the worst mom. My lo(#3) was born jan 5 and has been eating whenever whatever we eat for the last 2 months. As in if we have eggs for breakfast so does he. Chicken for dinner ya sure he eats that to. He refused to eat 98% of the baby foods so i just started trying ours. He loves food but still gets most of his nourishment from breastmilk.
