How many bottles / food is your 6-7 month old having?

[Rachel]

Just wondering how many bottles your baby had/is having at 6-7 months and how many ounces per bottle?

Also, how much food were/are they having at this age?

 

[Suzie and Faith]

Fi is nearly 8 months and she is on 4 210ml (7oz) bottles a day but some of this milk goes into her cereal etc.

I think she's recently dropped a bottle so it would have been about 5 a few weeks ago xx

Hi, Chloe is just six months and our days goes as follows

8.00am - One jar of breakfast porridge
12.30 - I try and give her a bottle, normally she will take about five ounces. If she refuses the bottle I will give her two rusks
5.00 - One jar of main meal food and one jar of pudding
8.00pm - 8oz bottle
11.00 - 8oz bottle

Now I have written this down it doesn't look much.

Violet is 7 1/2 months.

She has.....a 7 oz bottle when she wakes up
breakfast at 9am ish....a few shreddies and toast (maybe eats about half of it??)
dinner at 12 is....a sandwich made with one slice of bread and a yoghurt
2.30 a 4 oz bottle
4.30 ish....tea....something like cauliflower cheese or pasta or chicken and a fruit puree
6.30pm an 8oz bottle before bed.

She was having a dreamfeed at 10.30pm of 6oz but I dropped this over the last couple of days and she has managed to sleep through without it.

The milk in yoghurt, cereal and added as an ingredient also counts towards their daily milk intake...think it's recommened they have about 21oz altogether....although more is ok.

Riley is similar to this, has been since about 7 months, although he has his dreamfeed still and also a boob feed or 2 in the night aswell.

Dylan's intake is more or less like this....

080 7oz bottle
100 Breakfast (e.g. weetabix)
140 lunch and yogurt
160 4 oz bottle
17:30 Dinner plus fruit
200 7 oz bottle

Then sometimes he will wake about 11pm for a bottle or sometimes sleeps through

logan is breast fed (and refusing to give it up), our day is sometimes (but possibly he's thinking of changing):

Between 6 and 7 am breast feed (both boobs).
8:50 Small breast feed (one boob) leading to nap, but he's thinking of dropping nap so may change this feed.
btw 10 and 10:30 food, either 30g of paket mix with 30 g water at home or a 125g jar if out and about offered with water, 5 mL drink or dribbled.
11:30 Big breast feed (both Boobs)
2 pm lunch, usually packet mix (60g) and pureed fruit if at home, pureed veg and jar (125g )or pot (100g) of fruit or youghurt if out. Water offered and rejected
in afternoon finger food, most acceptable are rusks or childrens crisps. water offered 5mL dribbled.
5 pm ish big breast feed leading to nap
6 pm tea 60g packet mix (different one to lunch) and a fruit or youghurt dessert, water offered.
7:30 boob feed leading to sleep.

And even having all this his weight gain was only 300g between 5 and 6 months!
