6 am nurse and cereal
9:00 sometimes a short nap
9:30 am sometimes snacks on cheerios or yogurt
12:00 lunch (she is mostly on finger foods now)
1:00 afternoon nap
3:00 nurses upon waking
5:30 dinner
7:00 nurse before bath and bed.

Penelope eats a variety of foods. She has had most fruits (kiwis, blueberries, raspberries, bananas, grapes) and small pieces of cooked broccoli, carrots, peas, green beans. She isn't a fan of most meats so I have to sneak them in. I puree lasagna and she loves macaroni n' cheese. I've had some luck with chicken. I've tried to get her a little of each food group for each meal and as long as she has a variety she is happy.

My daughter Alayna is 9 months (1/11) and hers is a routine more than a schedule:

8:15am Wakes up gets 4 oz of formula while mommy makes 3ish oz of whole grain oatmeal cereal (or occasionally grits) and 2 oz of fruit (I make all my own baby food)
20 minute cat nap sometime between 10:30am and 11:30am
12:30 Lunch is 6 oz of formula and a little all natural yogurt if she is still hungry
Nap shortly after lunch until about 3pm
Snack bottle of 4 oz. @ 3:30ish
5:30pm Dinner is 3-4 oz of a veggie and a mixed fruit (about 2-3 oz) and 3 oz of formula.
7:45 (the witching hour! lol) Bath, Bedtime routine with a 7oz bottle (not in the crib). Down to sleep by 8:30pm
(Lately it's been 9-10 because she's teething and have a rough time with the two front teeth. It's hard for her to relax.)

She sleeps through the night.
Gets sips of 1/2 strength apple juice throughout the middle of the day when she may be thirsty.

Her diet consists of 95% homemade food. the Cereal and formula of course are store bought.

Veggies she eats are: Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Acorn Squash, Butternut Squash, Cauliflower and cheese, Broccoli, Peas (mixed with something else)

Fruits: Base fruits are Bananas and Apples. I often mix them with: Dark Cherries, blueberries, avocado, apricots, peaches, orange, pineapple, strawberries, plums and prunes and jicama.

She eats chicken occasionally but we are still having a little issue with texture, she's getting better though and warming up to it. =)
I let her eat whole fruits with the babysafe feeder and sometimes I let her bite off little bits of a piece of fruit i have.
No pasta or rice just yet. Getting ready for egg YOLK ONLY scramble. I guess it's the egg whites that pose an allergy risk.

HAPPY FEEDING Y'ALL!!

He gets 3 6oz(18oz total) bottles a day (8am, 1pm, 8am),
He is eating mostly finger foods, but I am also giving him purees & cereal until I use up the rest of my supply.
He eats 3 meals a day - breakfast is cereal w/fruit, pancakes, waffles or eggs. lunch-chicken/apple loaf, pasta or a jar of baby food with meat. dinner is the same as lunch just a little more. He gets snacks in between all of his meals - these are usually gerber puffs, wagon wheels, mum mums, bitter biscuits, bread or lil crunchies.
He has been sleeping through the night since he was 6wks old. goes down at 8pm and wakes up between 7 & 8am

Yay! We're doing baby-led weaning too! Lots of mess but he loves to try new foods and eating by himself.

Here's our routine, all the way from... Finland! :

7ish-8ish Touko wakes up, we get up and I start preparing breakfast which usually is
*rye porridge, some fruits

9.30-10ish morning nap till about 11-11.30, then lunch
*usually part of something we're eating, fruits and vegetables (Touko loves mangos, bananas, apples, cucumber, bell peppers, green salad etc), rye bread, full grain barley, pasta, rice... Sometimes fish, eggs, chicken... If we're eating them.

13-14ish afternoon nap until 14:30

around 15 a snack, if needed, fruits, rye bread etc, soon we'll start trying milk products like viili, rahka, butter milk, yoghurt.

16:30-17ish dinner, whatever we're eating (parts of it) pretty much the same as lunch.

And then I'm working on getting an evening porridge to fit about 18-18:30 and to bed around 19-19:30 (usually we still snack on some berries in the evening, or berries in sour milk products, e.g. rahka.)

And lots of demand feeding of milk, I have no idea of the amounts. Water with meals.

I don't know when he eats at night, but about 0-2 times a night.

Breakfast - 8 oz formula bottle, oatmeal mixed with 2 oz fruit, or straight 4 oz fruit
Lunch - 8 oz formula bottle, 4 oz vegetable
Dinner - 8 oz formula bottle, 4 oz "meal" - meat w/veg, mac n cheese, veg cheese risotto
Bedtime - 6 oz formula bottle
snacks - puffs, apple juice (no more than 4 oz 1x/day), "real" food.

DH and I aren't the healthiest eaters, so he only sometimes gets what we have. It depends.

Our normal day

5:30am - bottle (240ml) usually goes back to sleep

6:30/7ish am - 2 weetbix with fruit and milk with a piece of toast. May have 1 weetbix with fruit, with a piece of toast and yoghurt.

9:30/10am - Bottle (240ml) plus baby jelly

12ish - Veggie/ Meat mix plus custard or youghurt and watered down fruit juice (usually whatever we eat - mashed/chunky. He loves spaghetti bolognaise, cottage pie, stroganoff, casseroles, lamb shanks off the bones, fish and veg). May even have a sandwich instead.

3:30pm- Finger food (fruit, banana, pear, strawberries, mango are his favourites) Rice cakes juice also offered

5:30pm - Meat/Veggie Mix (usually the same type of food as lunch), Yoghurt, Arrowroot biscuit

7:00/7:30pm - Bottle (240ml)

Anna - posted on 01/15/2010

Typical day for us

5-6am milk feed (no idea how much, I'm normally still half asleep- he latches on, has what he wants and goes back to sleep. We co-sleep, BTW)

7.30am either mini shredded wheat soaked in a little bit of milk, or a slice of toast. A couple of dried prunes (he loves them, strange child) or a banana)

mid morning- raisins, a rice cake, or some fruit. Pear is a favourite.

12pm- Whatever we're having, normally omlette, cheese on toast (but not if he's had bread already, because of the salt), home made soup or quiche (again, home made)

1.30pm-breast feed.

3pm-same as the mid-morning snack.

5pm- Again, whatever we're having for dinner. We're doing baby led weaning, which means no jars, no pureeing, no cooking seperate baby meals, and lots of mess! His favourite dinners are pasta bolognaise (he's getting really good at picking up little bits of mince), roast dinner, and anything with tomatoes in. He'll have a dessert of yogurt (but only if I can face the mess) or fruit.

7pm Breast feed.

11pm Breast feed.

He also has unlimeted access to water all day, and I give him extra milk feeds when/if he asks for them.

From what I understand, you only have to be careful with eggs/peanut butter etc if you have a family history of allergies. As long as they're introduced gradually, and you watch for signs of possible reaction, there shouldn't be a problem.

Denise - posted on 01/14/2010

I have the same fear on the peanut butter and eggs. what I have read sort of discourages peanut butter because of possible allergies. I too would love to introduce it because of the high levels of protein but have decided to wait. She is getting alot of protein though through the formula and baby foods so I think we are doing ok. dr says all ok so I'm happy. However that being said I think you need to continue what your doing if it is working out for you. I guess thats why they say every child is different but this does offer us a chance to see where we all are. Thanks for all your post it sure has helped me. "Gabriella's MoM",,,

Hello Everyone!

Nichole is now almost 9 months. She just started this eating schedule a few weeks ago.
7:30-8 AM - fruit (cut up bananas, strawberries, mixed fruit cup, etc) with 6 oz bottle (formula)
morning snack - puffs, mum mums, cheetos, or yogurt melts
12-12:30 PM - 1 pasta pick ups (turkey and veg, pasta and cheese, beef and veg, etc) fruit and 6 oz bottle
afternoon snack - puffs, mum mums, cheetos, or yogurt melts
5-5:30 1 pasta pick ups, veggies, and 6 oz bottle
8-8:30 8 oz bottle --goes to bed, sleeps through the night ;-)

i thought my daughter was too young to start eating the pasta pick ups - she has 3 teeth!! but my mom introduced her to them, and she loves them - she mashes them fine, although she knocks about half of them on the floor : ). same thing with the cheetos - surprisingly they desolve a lot like the puffs - nichole likes them because she can hold it while she gnaws on it, it seems more satisfying. Also, I love the fact that she can now feed herself, it allows me to a) eat my lunch, b) continue with what i have to get done ((of course with keeping an eye on her))

Hi Everyone,

Tiana is now 8.5 months and this is her eating schedule as of 8 months.

7:00am - approx 4oz of breastmilk nursing (as she never usually drinks more than 4 oz of breaskmilk or formula at one time)

9:00am - Water in sippy cup. 3 tablespoons of cereal with breastmilk or formula (favourite is oats with fruit) and 3 tablespoons of fruit.

11:00 - 2 to 4oz breaskmilk in sippy cup (working on it...not always perfect yet)

1:00 pm - 3 tablespooons cereal with breastmilk or formula - 3 tablespoons of veggies

and water to drink.

2:30 - mums or handful of puffs and water in sippy cup.

4:00 - 4oz breastmilk in sippy cup.

5:00 - mums or handful of puffs while I prepare our dinner.

5:30 - I make my own dinners for her as she often spits up with the jar meats. I prepare a meat dish with fruit or veggies cooked from a baby cook book. Very simple easy reciepes. 20 min - Makes approx 6 servings that I freeze in individual baggies, So I'm only doing it 2 twice a week to alternate dishes. Then I just add extra 3 table spoons of veggies and water in sippy cup. 3 table spoons of fruit for dessert.

8:00pm 4oz breastmilk - nursing bedtime. She is starting to sleep through night, but occasionally wakes around midnight for for approx. 2 oz nursing and a snuggle. ;)



I'm just starting to introduce her to cooked finger foods, such as peas, carrots, yolk of eggs and pasta, but she is yet to really like anything but "mushy".

Ali Marie,

Gabriel gets protein all day long! There is protein in Gerber DHA oatmeal, rice, mixed grain, veggies and fruit (in baby food jars) and the formula and or breastmilk is full of nutrients such as protein and iron. Did your Dr. say it was alright to feed your little girl eggs and peanut butter? My Dr. said absolutly no eggs untill he was one due to possible allergic reaction, also it states that in most baby books, I was just wondering because i would love to be able to feed Gabriel eggs for breakfast!

Ali Marie - posted on 01/13/2010

what the??? I'm confused! My doctor ripped me a new one bc my daughter was only eating protein once a day...he told me she needs a protein, vegetable, and starch 3 time a day! I dont see any proteins in any of these feeding schedules and your babies seem fine-right?? Why did he make me feel like a bad parent??

Anyway this is Pangea's schedule:

Depending on what time she wakes up...(which depends on if we wake her up getting ready for work or stay quiet letting her sleep in)

before 7am--6oz bottle first thing (because I'm too lazy to actually make her food lol)
after 7am--oatmeal with fruit (not sure about the exact oz's I just eye-ball it)

~9:30-10am whatever I didn't feed her when she woke up (so either a bottle or fuit and oatmeal)

12:30 snack of some mum mums, banana, peanut butter, cheese, crackers, cherrios, apple, pear, or mango slice, etc some kind of finger food snack and watered down juice. This is basically practice time for her to feed herself and use a big girl cup (she never gets anything from sippy cups so she just drinks out of regular plastic cup)

2:30-lunch: eggs, beans, or some other kind of protein with steamed veggies, and rice or pasta

~4:45 small bottle 4-5oz

6:30 dinner, same as lunch but usually more meat than another kind of protein Whatever we're eating minus the spices. Although we love feeding her turky because they she gets nice and sleepy =)

8:30 4-6oz bottle before going to bed at 9pm

sleeps through the night

I also give her snacks like wagon wheels, yougurt melts, Loves Cheerios, fresh fruit like grapes (served in that stocking feeding thingy so she doesn't swallow it whole) apple slice.....all of these which she just chops on but manages to get most of it down.(we also discovered we like rice so sometimes she will eat a couple of grains of cooked rice...(Yep! spanish baby in training...LOL) she is now 8 1/2 months and weighs about 19 lbs and is 27 inches... dr says we are doing good. amazingly she has not broken a tooth yet but any day now, any day now....I can see them coming through all together mind you...LOL
