| Re: How much/often does your 5-6 month old eat?
DD just turned 7 months but since she was 6 months our schedule goes something like this:
7am- breastfeeds
9am- cereal 2-3 tbsp (either rice, oats, barley, or wheat with fruit) She loves variety.
11:30- breastfeeds, if she is still hungry has at most 4oz of formula.
12:30-1:30- 1 tbsp of fruit (different kind everyday)
3pm- breastfeeds first somedays she is still hungry so again at most 4 oz of formula
6pm- has 1 teething biscuit while we eat our supper. Then 1-2 tbsp cereal,
1-2 tbsp veggies, 1 tbsp fruit.
8-9pm last feeding breastfeeds first and then usually drinks 4 oz of formula.
Everyday is different though, just like every baby. Somedays she eats less,
others more. In the hotter weather I also offer her diluted apple juice or plain water. My daughter is a little on the chubbier side too, but is also losing it because now she is more active. She is 7 months, 18 Lbs 11oz and 26.5 Inches.
I dont know if it helped you any, but atleast its something to compare it too.
