how much does LO eat?

hrhone328

LO started solids about 3 weeks ago (we went the BLW route). She loves to eat and is getting pretty good at it. Last night she ate (no joke) an entire pear and then about 1/3 of a small banana! This was even within an hour of breastfeeding. She only eats solids in the evening. I'm pretty sure she's going through her 6-month growth spurt, but man this kid can put it back! How much is your LO eating? Anyone else have a similar eater (BLW or not)?

Yup, I've got huge eaters in my house. Last night he nursed and an hour later he had 1 1/2C of green beans/pasta/peas, 1/2 sweet potato, 1/4C carrots, and one chunk of cauliflower.  He then nursed again about 35 min after eating dinner. He is a bottomless pit. DD was/is the same way. While we do deal with sleep issues, we have never had to deal with eating problems, thank goodness.
