I know every baby is different... but what kinda schedule does a 6-month-old usually have? As far as naps, eating, etc? I'd just like to see what your babies do/did at this stage! :)

How often do they eat?
Do they eat food yet?
How many naps/how long naps?
How long do they sleep at night?

Thanks!! :D

I will tell you about my only experience so far... with my girl...

When she was 6 she was: (I hope I remember accurately)

Eating some vegetables, fruits and cereals (I usually bought these from Gerber) about 3 times a day...

Drinking about 3 bottles of 8 oz. (ea) of formula (I tried nursing but it didn't work, we still did it but only before naps and before going to bed at night)

Napping 1 a day (at about 10 in the morning) for 2 hrs. - in rare occasions she would divide those 2 hrs. in 2 naps, 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon.

She went to bed at 8 at night (she still does) and wake up like at 6:30 a.m.

Hope it helps....

Hmmm...let me think back a ways.

She was just starting to eat, so still introducing foods. Mostly ate fruits and veggies, yogurt also. She was still drinking bottles probably 6 or so a day (she made be switch to formula only around this time because I became preggo and she didn't like my milk) Josh was taking in my milk and formula supplement due to supply issues. they both took 2-3 naps a day about 1-2 hours. My kids have always been sleeepers. at that time we didn't have a set bed time for the kids so they were probably up until 9-10pm and then up around 10-11am. We now have bed times for the kids at 8:30pm but they both wake at different times now.

Not sure how I missed this, Margi! Here is a general look at what mine have all been like:

By 6 months, they usually had settled into two naps... one morning and one afternoon. Morning shorter than the afternoon. Occasionally still had dinner hour (mine) nap, but definitely that nap was on it's way out. Bedtime was around 6:30pm. Wake up around 7:30am.

Eating... I was just introducing food at 6 months (or *just* before)... I want to say they ate solids (fruit/veg) maybe 2 times a day?? Nursing on demand still, but generally it was first thing in the morning, before morning and afternoon naps, before the dinner hour and before bed. My kids were still up at night to eat a couple of times.
