9 Month old feeding schedule
What does your baby’s feeding schedule look like? How often do you breastfeed/formula feed? How do you schedule the solids mealtime?
Some days my baby’s schedule gets messed up and he sleeps longer, and I’m not sure whether to give him milk and skip his solids or skip the milk feed instead. How do you manage it?

8.5 months old schedule:
6 am wake up - 6 oz of formula
9 am before 1st nap - 7 oz of formula
11:30 am after nap food - 1 bowl of baby cereal (HIPP)
2:00 pm before 2nd nap - 7 oz of formula
4:00 pm after nap food - 1 bowl of puree that i make at home. Always different vegetables. Plus some cut up fruits.
7:00 pm before bed - 9 oz of formula
12:00- 1:00 am - 7 oz of formula.
When teething he might have 1 more bottle of 7 oz during the night.
Hope this helps.
I don’t really plan it I feed always feed her right when she wake up and then just on demand. Lately she’ll feed at like 5 so when I normally feed her at 7 I’ll give her some baby cereal instead and then lunch or dinner I’ll wait about 1-2 hours to give her solids. I do keep track of when she last ate but schedule doesn’t really work for us.
Don't overthink it too much.
For our 8 month old, we just offer him solids at each wake window (3-4 times a day; still hasn't consolidated his naps!!) before he fills up on breast milk.
He averages 31 ounces of breast milk a day and 4-5 ounces of solid food. Some days a little less, some days a little more.
Good luck!
If things are running behind I typically offer milk and then solids as "dessert"
Routine almost 9 months old:
7 am - wake up and breastfeed
9 am - breakfast - baby oatmeal, fruits, bread, yogurt, etc
10am - milk bottle and nap
12 pm - lunch - vegetables, meat and rice
1 or 2 pm - bottle and 2 nap
3 pm - snack - fruits
5 pm - bottle
6 pm—dinner: She loves broccoli, squash, zucchini, and other watery vegetables, as well as fish and rice. We always bathe her after dinner.
7 pm - bottle and bedtime
She drinks 5 oz of each bottle. She usually sleeps through the night, but she can eventually demand another bottle at night.
We have basically no schedule. The closest is I feed him before I start work at 7am. But all our meals move around a ton. He breastfeeds 5/6 times a day and we try to do 3 offerings of solids.
I just feed her every 3-4 hours with a formula/puree pattern and make sure her first meal is fruits and second is veggies and meats
