6 Month Old Feeding Schedule?

Hi can you please tell me the 6 month old feeding schedule. What are the items a child has at the age of 6 months? Is it still being breast fed? Should the baby be breast fed for so long? When does the baby start eating semi-solids and solids? When should the schedule of eating change. Where can one get the development and food chart for a baby till the time he at least becomes a toddler. When do kids start to make a fuss about eating? Please give me all this information.

I will suggest you that breast milk should be primary nutrition for the first year and other food items come secondary. I am giving a example but exact amounts vary with factors such as a baby&rsquo;s size and activity level.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; background: white;">5:30am - 6 ounce bottle</span></span><span style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; background: white;"><br /> <span class="apple-style-span">8:00am - 2 tbsp oatmeal</span><br /> <span class="apple-style-span">10am - 4 ounce bottle</span><br /> <span class="apple-style-span">12:30pm - 2 tbsp &amp; 2 ounces fruit or veggie</span><br /> <span class="apple-style-span">2:00pm - 4 ounce bottle</span><br /> <span class="apple-style-span">5:00pm - 6 ounce bottle</span><br /> <span class="apple-style-span">7:00pm - 2 cubes veggie, 2 cubes fruit, rice or pasta</span><br /> <span class="apple-style-span">9:30pm - 7 ounce bottle</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; background: white;">You can get this chart from chemist shops or consult your doctor he will provide you best chart as he knows better than me. It depends on children eating schedule and their physical activeness that when they will start making fuss for food. But averagely it starts when your baby become 7 month old.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; background: white;"><br /></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"></span></span></p>
