A spinoff of @bluestripedbee post. It got me curious what different ages feeding schedule look like.
Ds 5.5months
8ish 6oz bottle ( up for day)
12ish 6-7oz bottle
4ish 6-7 oz bottle
6ish half a container of a puréed fruit or veggie. ( he loves prunes lol)
8ish 7oz bottle, then bed
3ish am 7oz bottle
For reference he's a 20lb chunky monkey in 12 month clothing

7 months and change. Breastfeed on demand / every 2.5-4 hours except at night while she is sleeping and she typically does at least a 9 hour stretch. A random assortment of solids 1-3 times a day around breakfast, lunch, and dinner time. She has never been a big eater since birth and remains around 40% for weight, although she was born at something crazy like 98% for weight.

DD wakes up at a different time each day so this is approximate as far as times go. She's almost 8 months old. She has never wanted to nurse when she first wakes up, so that's why she eats breakfast first. I pump at the same time.
8:00 breakfast (oatmeal mixed with fruit or yogurt)
8:45 nurse
10:00 nurse then nap
11:30 nurse
1:00 snack (whatever I'm eating for lunch)
2:00 nurse then nap
3:30 nurse
5:30 nurse
6:00 dinner (veggies, shredded cheese, puffs for dessert, or a half jar of a purée)
7:30 nurse then bed
1:00 nurse
4:00 nurse

DD is 11.5 months and I am totally estimating this schedule.
6:00 wake up
7:00 nurse
7:30 ignore breakfast, eat cheese stick
9:00 nurse, steal brother's snack of pretzels
11:00 blueberries, pasta, black beans
11:30 nurse to sleep
3:00 nurse
3:30 cracker, plain yogurt
5:00 nurse
6:00 pulled pork, part of a toasted bun, watermelon, spit out the zucchini
7:00 nurse to sleep
9:00 nurse
1:00 nurse
3:00 nurse
4:00 nurse
Obviously my second child is a boob monster

That doesn't sound like a lot of milk to me! DS was taking 36 ounces per day until we started introducing solids about 2 weeks ago. He is 6.5 months and also a 20 lb chunky monkey 
We give him 4 ounces of formula as soon as he wakes up, then "breakfast" (could be pears, applesauce, sweet potato, yogurt), then he has bottles spread out throughout the rest of the day and takes about 26 ounces more until his bedtime at 8 pm!

@MrsSRS: lol it does seem like she's a boob monster
@wrkbrk: I really estimated that schedule sometimes he'll wake up twice a night and some days he wants to eat every three hours instead of 4. I guess it just depends on his mood lol. He's on the alimentum rtf and he goes through a bottle a day, 32oz I think. He was born 6lb 3oz so he is steadily gaining weight. He's. My little chunker! I've always wanted a chunky baby.

@Jackiedavis87: Right? I think my DS only nursed maybe 3 times a day at this age. DD is...not a biddable child.

Nearly 10 months:
8am - Strawberry banana oatmeal
11am- 5 oz bottle
2pm - Puree or yogurt
5pm - Chunky puree
8pm - 8 oz bottle
We are working on doing away with purees. We gave her some cut up steamed carrots and avacado in tiny pieces last night and she did awesome feeding herself.

@MrsSRS: Old post but I see you nurse to sleep. How has that’s worked for you? I do it now for 4.5 mo old but he’s waking up all night...did you sleep train?
