Schedules? Solids?

Question

Hi! What’s everyone’s loose schedules/ routines looking like these days? How many times a day is your baby eating solids? How old is baby? Is baby EBF, formula or pumped milk fed- how often and how many oz? Just curious!

Answer

My baby just turned 6 months on the 7th, he is EBF. We follow an eat play sleep schedule so he nurses when he wakes up, we play and he goes down for a nap. 
This is roughly what are days usually look like:
Wake up 7:30am 
Nurse 7:40am
Nap 1 9:30 am
Nurse 11:10am
Nap 2 1:00pm
Nurse 3:10 pm
Solids (baby led weaning) 4:20 pm
Nap 3 5:10pm
Nurse 6pm
Nurse 8:15 pm
Bed 8:30 pm
Nurse 1 am
In about a month I’ll give him solids twice a day, but his main nutrition is breastmilk

Answer

My daughter will be 6 months next week. She was exclusively breastfed around 5 months. I started introducing her purees extremely slowly after 5 months. But since she was not gaining weight,  barely 1kg (2.2lbs) for 2 and a half months, and after our pediatrician gave us green light even for 2 meals per day, she is having now 3 meals so far. Sometimes 2, depends on the day. 1 meal around 1-2pm, 2 meal 6-7pm and 3rd one before bed.( 10-11pm). And in between only milk ( she never accepted bottle, formula or pacifier).  And thanks God, she is finally gaining weight. She likes eating the purees, since my milk can not satisfy her anymore. 
I'd say everything depends on the baby. Do not force anything.

Answer

My baby is 6 and a half months and is on formula and has 6 ounces. He feeds around every 4-5 hours and sleep through the night. He will have his morning bottle when he wakes then after his first nap he will have baby breakfast and just a 3/4 ounce bottle depending how much he eats. He will continue with bottles through out the day and around 5 he will have a baby dinner ( he would normally have a bottle at this time but doesn’t want it now he’s having foods) mainly just puréed veg at this point. Then have his bed time bottle at 9pm. I’ve recently introduced soft vegetables such and broccoli and carrots just steam them slightly and allow him to hold them himself x

Answer

My EBF baby turns 6 months tomorrow! (The 15th.) we’ve tried a couple purees but he’s not too interested. I’ll keep trying a little but won’t really worry about it for a couple months. He nurses around every 2 hours

Answer

We only offer solids once a day, usually when we have dinner. We do a mixture of blw and purees, usually more blw. She is starting to become interestwd but nothing crazy, but its still early. She is ebf and has milk every 2ish hours. Around 8 months, I will start about 2 meals a day, at least offering solids and then have 3 meals a day by 12 months.

Answer

I started a little bit of pureesast week in hopes that it would help her sleep at night (currently waking up every hour and wanting to drink bottle) I haven't noticed a difference though, I was doing morning and dinner and now only try at dinner. She is formula fed and drinks about 28-32 oz of milk majority being at night
