7 month old feeding schedule

At 7 months old, what exactly did your feeding schedule look like?
How many bottles were the babies taking? How many ounces? When did you incorporate food--like what times of the day?

I feel like my babies' feeding schedules are not consistent right now.
I really need help!

 

I know at 7 months we were doing 5 bottles a day and 2 solids meals at breakfast and dinner.

HERE is a link to other TSers 7 month schedules so you can see what others were doing at that age.

 

We are doing five 7oz. bottles per day, a serving of fruit and a serving of vegetable. They each eat 1/2 a container of fruit or vegetable. I have tried feeding rice cereal and oatmeal, but they both cry hysterically with crocodile tears and turning backwards in the highchair. After 2 weeks we stopped that because I feel feeding should not be a tramatic event.

When they start acting like they want more we increase the amount of fruit or vegetable. We started at one tablespoon and have moved up to 1/2 a container in the last month, so I figure pretty soon it will be a whole container each.

We usually feed the fruit with the 2nd or 4th bottle of the day depending on the days events and the vegetable with the 3rd (lunch). I know I have to try to work another feeding in there somewhere, but we haven't figured that out yet since they had the cereals.

 

6, 10, 2, 6pm 8oz bottles (sometimes Seth will only take 6 or 7 oz at one or two of those bottles)

Cereal and fruit (share a size 2 fruit) at 7:30

Veggies (get their own size 2 veggie) after nap (around 12:30 but if they sleep past 1, no lunch)

We just added “dinner” as we are almost 8m at 4:30 (this one has meat in it and is half the amount of lunch… they share a size 2)

EDIT: WOW... just looked at my ticker... i guess we are 8 m today

 

7:00 bottle 6 ounces
11:00 bottle 6 ounces
12ish lunch- Fruit and veggie- about 6 ounces for each baby Also some crackers, puffs, or cheerios.
4:00 bottle 6 ounces
6:30 dinner- Fruit and veggie- again 6 ounces each. Crackers, puffs, or cheerios.
8:00 bottle 7 ounces

So 4 bottles, total of 25 ounces or so. Plus 12 ounces of food. My girls seem to be eating a whole bunch more food than ya'lls. They'd eat more than I give them too!

 

7:30 Bottle 7oz
9:30 nap
11:30 bottle 6 oz
12:00 1/3 cup veggies and 1/2 cup of fruit mixed with cereal
2:00 nap
4:00 bottle 6oz
5:00 stage 3 solds, 1/3 cup of fruit
7:30 bottle 7oz and then bed

Now that they are 8 months I'm going to add in breaskfast sometime this week.

 

8am - they wake up and eat an 8oz bottle
10am- nap
12pm- cereal mixed w/ stage 1 fruit (each get their own), plus 6oz bottle.
2pm- nap
4pm- Veggie and/or meat mix stage 2 size (each get their own), plus 4oz bottle.
8pm- 8oz bottle and bed time.

 

7, 11, 3, 7- 8oz bottle. They share a container of fruit around noontime and they share a container of veggies around 4 or 5pm. We have moved them to stage 2 food. Sometimes they finish it, sometimes not. I also put them down for a nap about 2 hours after they wake up, so they are getting 3 naps a day.
