What was baby's feeding sched @ 6 mo

We are 6 months today and I can tell you what my Cooper is doing. We are taking 6 bottles total (1 in the middle of the night of 6oz). Then he takes 5 bottles during the day 4 are 7oz and this bedtime bottle is 8oz. He is only taking solids 2x/day we are still trialing to make sure no allergies. We will be done by the end of the month and then I will introduce oatmeal cereal as we have not had any cereal yet and I will also increase his veggies and fruits. He is taking maybe 1 small jar total a day at this point. I am patiently waiting for his formula intake to drop but no drop so far. I have a little piggy on my hands. I don’t know if this helps you or not, but at least you can compare.

I wouldn’t wake him to feed him. Your doc is giving you general recommendations on how much a baby should eat, but they really are all different. At 6 months of age Myles was thriving on a total of 15-16 ounces of breast milk or formula a day, plus about 1/2 cup of baby oatmeal cereal, and mabye two jars of baby food. That’s it! And his growth continued to be normal. Some babies just don’t need as much as others.

I used to babysit a little boy who at six months of age would suck down an entire 8 ounce bottle of formula and then follow it up with an adult sized bowl of oatmeal and an entire stage 2 jar of baby food. He ate like a horse and he was never bigger than the 25th percentile for weight. His father was super skinny and ate like a horse too. He was the first baby I ever babysat so when I moved on to other families I thought their kids ate like birds!
