    I did a search for 6 month schedules but I couldn't find anything too new, sorry if I just missed it.
    My twins will be 6 months on Monday! How the time flies! We are only doing one meal of solids and need to add another so I'm really curious about others 6 month schedule.
    Thanks in advance!

    Our schedule is sort of like this:
    7:30am: wake up/change
    8:00am: rice or oatmeal with a fruit or favored veggie mixed in. I usually use 6 tbsp of the cereal with 6 tbsp of formula along w/fruit or veggie in there.
    They also get 5oz bottles of formula afterwards
    Play/reading
    9:30 ish: first nap (might be for an hour, some times 90 min. Depends on how lucky I get. Somedays it's just 20 min)
    11:00am: Jar of veggies, plus 5oz bottles
    Play/tummy time
    12:30 ish: second nap (depends on when they wake up from the first nap, I try to do naps 2 hours after they wake up)
    2:00: Jar of fruit, 5 oz of bottles
    Play/reading/activity of some sort
    4:00: short nap (might be a half hour, we have not worked out a third nap yet, so this is not set in stone)
    5:00: 6oz bottles (we are going to start 2nd stage mac and cheese on Friday at this meal)
    6:45: Getting ready for bed (wipe downs or baths, lotions, general cleaning of the babies)
    7:30 ish: 6oz bottles and bedtime

    They sleep through the night and most nights are usually asleep within 15 minutes of being put in their cribs.

    According to my blog this was our schedule at 6mo (and it took 6mo to get on a schedule!):

    700 Get up, diapers, snuggles, nurse, play
    830 Breakfast (oatmeal & fruit)
    900 Wash up, diapers/get dressed, nurse
    930 Nap (usually 1.5-2hrs)
    1130 Get up, diapers, play, nurse, play
    100 Lunch (oatmeal/barley & veggie)
    130 Wash up, diapers, nurse
    200 Nap (usually 1-1.5hrs)
    330 Get up, diapers, play, nurse, play
    500 Dinner (oatmeal/barley, fruit & veggie)
    530 Bath/lotion/jammies, snuggles, nurse
    630-7 Bed

    It really hasnt changed too much in the past 2mo except they eat a LOT more now.

    Good luck!

    I usually follow your posts since my girls were born so close to yours, but I was a little thrown off at the "6 months"....I hope you don't mind me asking, but how are they 6 months old?
