feeding schedule for 6 months

Hey ladies

I have a question about feeding my 6-month-old son.

He's doing well weight-wise, weighing 7770 grams and is 68.3 cm tall.

What are you feeding your daughters or sons?

I have the feeling he's not getting enough. Every 3 hours he's asking for food.
I already got advice from the CB (Child Health Clinic) that he can now replace one bottle with porridge.

He currently gets:

Between 6 and 7
180cc + 6 scoops
Around 10 and 11 o'clock fruit pot or fresh fruit
Half an hour later
120cc + 3 scoops
Around 1 and 2 porridge
Around 16 and 17 o'clock vegetables and half an hour later something to drink
And around 20 o'clock the last bottle, for a while now 180cc + 1 scoop of rice flour and then he sleeps through.

My question is, how does your schedule look?

    Hi Irma...

    Here's our schedule:

    8:00 bottle 180 cc

    10:30 jar of fruit or fresh fruit
    1:00/1:30 PM bottle 180 cc
    4:00/4:30 PM vegetable jar (4 months) bottle 90 cc
    7:00 PM bottle 210 cc

    The 1:00 PM bottle could also be a plate of porridge here, but we haven't done that yet.

    Love, Lynn

    I’m also making a bottle or pap for the afternoon. He’s doing well, but if he’s hungrier, he’s now also getting the 6-month pots and pap since this week.

    Is he eating a whole jar of baby food for 6-month-olds?
    Or is that too much? The pediatrician said I should give him a bottle too... but a 6-month jar plus a bottle is way too much. Right now I’m giving him a 4-month jar plus a 90 ml bottle.

    Lately he sometimes drinks a whole bottle, and sometimes leaves a bit and some liquid. You have to pack it if you've eaten yourself, you also get thirsty half an hour later 120 with scoops 2. That was good and he gained weight nicely, he gets 180, I have a cousin who is 2 months younger and drinks 210 cc.
