8 month old routine

[Angelbaby_01]

Hallo ladies,

Just want to find out how many naps your baby takes during the day and how many meals/snacks they have. What type of foods do you give and do you give water/tea/juice?

Also do they sleep through or not and how many teeth does your baby have?

lots of questions..........................

My LO isn't 8 months but she is just over 7 months so not sure if you'll be interested!
But.. My LO generally takes two naps, one in the late morning 10/11am and one around 2/3pm but she is very hit and miss and today my LO only had one nap for 1 hour(1:30 to 2:30) in the car and she has just fallen asleep on the boob which I'll limit because it's so late in the day as and won't sleep tonight. She feeds 4 times from the breast in a 24hr period sometimes with extra for comfort and has three meals a day which I do a mixture of lumpy purees and blw. I do fruit, veg, bread etc for blw and just normal meals for the lumpy purees. It normally goes a bit like this:
5am: milk feed and back to sleep
7:30-8am: wake for day
8:30-9am: fruit and yogurt for breakfast
11am; milk feed
1pm: cheese on toast(blw) and mashed raspberries (spoon fed) for lunch
4:30pm: milk feed
5:30pm: lumpy puree of salmon and broccoli for dinner
7:30pm: milk feed and bed
Sometimes wakes late evening for comfort, settles with cuddle and/or feed. I give water with each meal.
My LO has one tooth so far. Sorry it's such a long post

My baby is eight months next week. He switches between two and three naps, depending on what time he wakes for the day (if he wakes at 6, he takes three; if he wakes at 8, he takes two). He eats what I do, but I will give him a pouch if what I'm eating is too salty or spicy. He gets mostly fruits, veggies, fish, and eggs. I am avoiding breads, pastas, etc. until he is a bit older. He has two bottom teeth. He only drinks milk and a few sips of water. I will not be giving him juice. He was just starting to sleep through the night, like maybe a week in a row, but we moved states on Monday so he is back to almost hourly wakings, I'm assuming because of the unfamiliarity.

My son will be 7 months old tomorrow.

He:
1) Takes two naps most days, around 9-10 and 2-4.
2) Sleeps from about 9pm-6am with no night wakings. We are lucky.
3) Has two teeth.
4) Drinks formula every few hours.
5) Eats about 2 meals of solids per day; so far we've just introduced single-ingredient fruit/vegetable purees and oatmeal. He drinks a few sips of water with each solid meal.

I'm looking forward to giving him more "real" meals! We tried some finger foods and he was not ready for it... purees will have to do for now.

My dd has 2 naps usually - one in the morning, one in the afternoon. She sleeps 7-6.30/7 with one wake up to nurse at roughly 3am. She BF 4 or 5 times per day. We are doing blw and she eats 3 meals per day of whatever we are eating, I don't tend to give her snacks because I don't want her cutting down on BF more yet. She drinks water out of a cup. Oh and she got 2 bottom teeth a couple of days before turning 8 months.
