    Hi Everyone!

    I would appreciate your thoughts on my feeding schedule. I want to make sure I am not feeding my girls too much. or I guess too little.
    My girls are 7 months and weight about 17lbs. This what they each get:

    7am - 2oz cereal, 2oz fruit, 7oz bottle
    11am - 4oz of veggie, 6oz bottle
    3pm- 4oz of fruit/veggie, 6oz bottle
    6pm-frozen fruit in a baggie for snack
    7pm- 8oz bottle

    How does this look?

    Are your girls acting hungry or anything? If they seem happy and sated with what you are giving them, that should be fine. If they are acting hungry, I would up the ounces in the bottles.

    I agree with Nancy. Are they acting hungry at all? If not, I would stick with what is working.

    Wow! Your babies eat great!

    Mine are 21 pounds each and this is what they eat:

    7am - 6 oz bottle
    11am - 4 oz bottle & 1/2 banana each
    2 pm- 4oz of fruit/veggie, 4 oz bottle
    7pm- 8oz bottle

    So about 22 oz of formula a day + 5 tbs rice cereal + 4-6 oz veggies/fruits each a day!

    are your babies grabbing the banana and eating by themselves? or are you feeding by hand? I can't get my girls to eat mashed up banana or avaocdo. They grab everything else and put in mouth, but not this. SO funny!
