SCHEDULES?

Hi everyone! please forgive me in advance because I do not know all the "slang" in these forums juist yet haha. I need a glossary! Anywho. My fraternal (boy and girl) twins are 5 months old. We started them on rice cereal. at 4 1/2 months. Actually at 4 but they didnt get it so i waited a couple weeks. Anyway, and now we just added a veggie. I was just wondering if you mommas/dads could give me your schedule at this age. I look online but all it is is single babies schedules and it just doesnt work for twins So if you could PLEASE give me your typical schedule from wake up to put down! Thank you!!!

 

i referred to wholesomebabyfood.com for schedules and solids info. they're a great resource, although you can always tweak their suggestions to make it work for you. here is a great menu recommendation for babies 4-8 months old.

that site was my #1 resource during the introduction of solids. good luck! :youcandoit:

 

Here is a link to a thread from our First Year Handbook with examples of schedules for 5 month olds from some of our own Twinstuff moms.

Congratulations on your babies & :welcome: to Twinstuff!

 

Mine are 11 months now. At this age when we started solids, we only did the lunch time feeding after a bottle
wake up 8 oz bottle
nap
lunch 8 oz bottle and whatever solids they would take-usually about 1 ounce each
4pm bottle 8 oz
Bed bottle 8 oz
we kept increasing lunch until they both finished a 4 oz jar and then started adding dinner about 1.5 hrs after the 4 pm bottle. that started small and has continued to increase. When they were splitting a 4 oz jar plus rice cereal (2-3 ounces) at dinner, we added breakfast.
I started breakfast last because they still werent sleeping through the night and am was hard! now things are getting a little easier but life revolves around trying to figure out if these two have eaten enough and trying to get healthy meals in! good luck!
