Hi shalu, U r following schedule for ur little one - that's really nice n will help alot. But, for 7month baby 3 hrs is more, u can reduce it to 2 hrs n than increase the gapping gradually. Moreover, don't decrease the bf so much. Ideally, it should be one semi solid followed by one bf at these stage n then 2 semisolid to 1 bf.. hope this would help.

For 7mo, there should be only 2 food feed per day. and rest should be breastfeed or formula whatever you are giving. Giving too much food will make baby always full, so he/she won't have milk which is still the primary source of nutrition for the baby till 1 year. Also excess of semi solids won't provide enough nutrition. Start calcium and iron drops as well. Try giving food in morning and afternoon only. You can give sooji,egg, khichdi,banana, carrot,sweet potato,ghee etc for weight gain. Avoid any watery food like dal ka pani,juices etc. Best of luck.

as other moms said, till age of 1, atleast 500ml milk is required. so you take care of that. also for gaining weight, urad, beetroot, carrot, potato, sweet potato, egg yolk, ghee can be given. few drops of coconut or groundnut oil can be put in baby food. all the best. no worries.
