How much do you feed LO at a time? 

 I usually feed Lo an 5 oz bottle along with 1 stage 2 baby food jar or a few handfuls of regular food while I'm cooking. When I go to eat,he begs for food from my plate. 30 min/to an hour later when DH eats, LO will get food off his plate too. Does anyone's else LO do this? I feel like my kid can never get full! LO has to eat every time we eat even if he just ate.

My eats all the things.  Bottles are our struggle but solids he seriously would eat himself sick.  I like the idea of them eating when you eat because that's great exposure for them and practice

Grayson can eat an entire jar of baby food at one sitting. He also throws a fit if I'm eating and not sharing with him. I've been trying to come up with more things he can feed himself while I'm eating. Win win situation. Yesterday for breakfast he ate an entire biscuit! My kid is a bottomless pit and still gets 4 bottles a day.

I call Lo Mr. Snacks sometimes. He would eat all day long if he could. He's a healthy size with regular pees and poops and nurses or bottle drinks like a champ still so I just go with it. If he's hungry I let him eat, I just make sure to be offering as much healthy stuff as possible so I know he's eating because he's hungry not because Puffs are amazing and no baby can resist no matter how full they are

Sounds pretty normal. Just think about how much they are growing right now! DD eats all 3 meals with me. Usually the equivilat of one jar of baby food, although I think she eats more when we give her table food. Especially if it is chicken, she can not get enough chicken.

LO eats about 24-28 ounces of formula a day.  For breakfast, he has either 1-2 tablespoons of oatmeal (mixed with a few tablespoons of formula) or 1/4 of a cup of yogurt.  For lunch, he has the same amount of oatmeal as breakfast and two cubes of a puree (usually a fruit mix.) For dinner, he has either yogurt or oatmeal (whichever he didn't have for breakfast, same amount) and two cubes of a puree (usually vegetables with meat).  Also, he just decided to start eating puffs and Cheerios, so we give him like 10-15 Cheerios to snack on before dinner.

Now that he finally picked up the hang of Cheerios/puffs, we are trying to get him more interested in other finger foods, but it's slow going.

L will eat anything and everything if I let him (except hummus, he dramatically gags anytime it hits his mouth). I have to cut him off at meals because he'll just keep going and end up with an upset tummy.

I have a bottomless pit too. If she stops eating its usually just because she's done sitting in her high chair. If I take her out, she will continue eating... I don't know how much she eats, (bf and rarely do purées) but it's plenty.

Mine DD eats only 1/4-1/3 of a small jar of baby food twice a day. She always picks off my plate all day but mostly just plays with it and only eats a few bites. I think we are behind with food but she just won't eat more.

My LO eats seem to eat an outrageous amount of food, I don't think he would ever stop eating if we continued to feed him. If he sees food he must have it now. He eats whenever we eat and always has, I'm not sure how we could ever do it any other way. He has never really eaten much in the way of baby food or purees. He eats whatever we eat and sometimes I think he may actually eat more than me. for instance this morning he had a big bowl of cereal with fruit in it, half of a waffle square, half of a banana and then cried for my orange.
