As I read through the posts regarding what you've made/fed your LO's, I wonder how often they are fed solids (fruits, veg, meat, yogurt, oatmeal, etc).
DS is almost 7 months old and eats two "meals" a day. At the babysitter's he is fed a bit of yogurt and whatever fruit/veg I send him. I make my own food, but it is roughly 3/4 the size of jarred food. At night he eats another meal of roughly the same size.
It's funny because I have a two year old DD who I started on solids at 4 months (DS started around 5) and I have no idea how much she ate this point. I should have recorded it, doh!
Anyhow, just wondering what everyone else was doing....
Re: How often is your LO fed solids?
We're up to three meals a day here. DS1 started solids later and was definitely still getting them twice at this age. DS2 seems more insatiable than DS1 was...although both were about the same size (both big babies -- usually around 90th %).
I hear you on not remembering! If I didn't write this stuff down in his baby book, I wouldn't remember a THING. I never understood how moms of more than 1 didn't remember this kind of stuff, but as soon as that second comes along, it's like all the ages/stages/milestones get all mixed up and confused in your head.
ETA: I make my own food; he gets roughly 2oz at each "meal".

Just once a day, and getting him to eat is a struggle. Today though I sent him with oatmeal and bananas to my MILs, and I'll try to feed him twice over the weekend as well. We were told he should have two "meals" a day once he's 7-months (in 2 weeks).
We have given both fruits and veggies, and both rice and oatmeal. The best results we get is when we combine the puree with cereal.
My little piggy eats 3 times a day... 2 oz fruit or veggie, 1 tbsp cereal, sippy of water, finger foods (doesn't usually get that much in!), and a mum mum (gets about 1/2 of it eaten before getting bored with it).
DCP says sometimes at lunch, he still acts hungry after all that!! They also give a snack (mum mum) on occasion if he gets mad that he's not at the table with the older babies during snack time.
