8 Month Old Feeding Schedule Needed

My first time becoming a grandmother is the best feeling I could have had in ages. I am preparing an age-by-age meal planner for my daughter and grandchild. Can you tell me what the child should have when he is 8 months old? He 6 right now, I am asking to make sure I am on the right track. I found out for 7 too, now I need an 8 month old feeding schedule. What should be on the menu, and where can I find one similar chart or things a baby should eat during this month?

All babies vary, but I am giving a rough schedule you can use to make your grandchild healthy and active. When I was in college I have made a project on it so I am giving all the things from. Now I am mother of 1 year old son. Although I work full time, I did make most of my baby food, but I always try to use give most of the food to my baby in a day. The amount of food at 8 months is very similar to the 7 month baby schedule, but you will most likely go to 3 small meals per day, rather than just 2.As you're creating a schedule for your grandchild, keep in mind that at 7 and 8 months most babies need: Solid foods two to three times a day, plus about 24 to 32 ounces of breast milk or formula in a 24-hour period. Nutrition and all vitamins and proteins as this are their growing age. In am giving a schedule which your grandchild can follow easily and this help them to become healthy and active. 7 a.m.: Wake up and nurse for about 20 minutes. 7:30 a.m.: Play on the floor or outside with them. 8 a.m.: Breakfast, usually rice cereal or oatmeal and fruit . 8:30 a.m.: More playtimes. Between 9 and 9:30 a.m.: Nurse for about 15 minutes, then nap. 11 a.m.: Wake up and play. Noon: Lunch (fruit and veggies) 12:30 p.m.: Play. 1:30 p.m.: Nurse for about 20 minutes, then nap. 3:30 p.m.: Wake up and play. 4 p.m.: Nurse for about 20 minutes. 5 p.m.: Dinner (baby food). 5:30 p.m.: Play, go for a walk. 6:30 p.m.: Bath. 7 p.m.: Nurse for about 20 minutes, then bed You can find similar menu on many websites like, babycenter, wholesomebabyfood.momtastic and babyzone.
