What Is Your 8 -9 Month Olds Feeding Schedule?

My son is 9 months and he is also breastfed. Here is his schedule, it's pretty similar to yours.

6:30 wake up and BF
7:30- Breakfast
10:30/11- BF after waking from nap
11:45/12- Lunch
2:00/2:30- BF before 2nd nap
4:00- Small snack and offer sippy with water/juice (we used to BF around 5 pm when I picked him up from daycare but we just dropped this feeding)
6:00- Dinner
7:00- BF and down for the night

He eats at least 4 oz or 1/2 cup of solids at each meal, sometimes more and his snack is usually a handful or cheerios or something similar. As for offering the nursing closer to feeding times, I think as long as she is getting adequate amounts of milk and solids, your schedule is fine. In other words, I would only worry about adjusting it if she wasn't getting enough of either one because she was still full as a result of the different meals being spread out. One thing to consider with your mealtimes-- my objective is to get my son on our eating schedule (or close to it) so he is eating when we are eventually. Hope this helps.

Looks perfect! My daughter doesn't eat past 6:30ish either and sleeps 12 hours! We are blessed!!!! Your daughter seems to be getting all she needs (she sounds content and sleeping well), she will likely start eating more at her solid meal times too...and may need am/pm snacks soon...around 10 months or so. Or whenever she starts to get really mobile. Like a little cracker or chopped fruit around 10a.m and 3p.m. You are doing great and don't listen to other peoples opinions too much. :-)

Great job breastfeeding, keep it up!!!!!!! SHe'll make her own schedule. What worked for me was:
BF wake-up, about 2 hours later solid food breakfast, lunch, BF for nap, BF up from nap, dinner, bf for bed

my daughter wasnt bf but heres what her schedual was at 8-9 months-
6-7a- 8oz cup in bed
8a- breakfast with juice after
noon- lunch then nap with 8oz cup
2:30-3:30p- snack (depending on when she woke)
5p- dinner with water
7p- 8-10oz cup before bed
(in between feedings she only got water)
my daughter is now on milk and i am just now taking her off of her bed time cup but she still gets her 8-10oz of milk in the morning and then another cup of milk after lunch. she rarely gets more then one cup of juice. she loves water. just take it slowly and maybe offer her the bottle instead :) good luck!

Your daughter does not eat past 6:30? That's not good. That schedule is similar to mine, but I feed her at around 9:00 pm and put her to bed.

When my son what 8-9 months old his schedule went something like this
8:00 bottle
8:15 breakfast
12:00 bottle
12:15 lunch
5:00 bottle
5:30 dinner

We were told to nurse or give a bottle to our son right before he ate. We did and it worked great, we didn't have any problems with dropping the 2 extra feedings, the day one was easy that one went around 3 months and the night one we weaned before his first birthday around 10 months. Good luck!

So funny, that's the exact schedule my son was on at that point. If you want a general feeding chart, check out www.weelicious.com
