Just that really! Interested to hear the usual times you feed your 5-6 month old babies and if they are bottle fed the amounts?

6 months this week.
7oz 7am
Breakfast (porridge) 8am
7oz 11am
Lunch 1200
Tea 1500
7oz 1600
7oz 1830
6oz 11pm

I'd say he probably has about â…” of the offered milk but is quite contrary and some days will have all of it so I keep offering it.

Oh and naps are completely random! Usually 2 or 3, rarely longer than 30 mins each although the last couple of weeks he's managed an hour a few times!

5m old. Combo fed formula+ebm

7.45am 7ozs
11am 5ozs
2pm 6ozs
5.30pm 6ozs
8.30pm 6ozs

He's just dropped a feed at 10.30/11pm so this is all new to us.

Naps - if we're at home all day alone then four. One about nine/half past, one about noon, one about 3 and one about 6.

DS is five months next week. He has 5 x 7oz bottles (doesn't always finish them, but usually takes at least 6oz) at 5.30am (ish - depends when he wakes, which is any time between 5 and 6 usually), 8.45am, 12.30pm, 3.45pm, 6.45pm.

He is not weaned yet - we are starting in a few weeks.

Naps are all over the place. He always has one approx 2 hours after waking - usually not long after his second bottle - but the length of it is totally variable. Then one after the lunchtime bottle, but occasionally he has it before if he can't make it through. Then usually a short one about 5pm to get him through to bedtime. So generally 3 naps a day but sometimes 4 if they haven't been very long ones.
