(sorry I don't want to venture over to 6-12 for this)

Is he/she on 3 meals a day? What types of finger foods is she eating? How many bottles a day? 

DD#2 is just starting on some finger foods and I need ideas for more things to try with her.

Hi, My DS was also born in February. He eats 3 meals a day and takes three 8 oz bottles. Sometimes he may have a 4th bottle but that just depends. 

I am starting to try all kinds of things and I just posted something about this the other day.  I bought puffs, cheerios, banana, bread, pasta. My friend gave her son (the same age) meatballs broken up. He loved it. I tried mac and cheese this weekend. it was probably too dry for him as he did gag and threw it up. I gave him soft parts of pizza. that's all I have at this point!

J is almost 9 months and he's doing 3 meals/day with 4 bottles that are 6-8 oz. He's doing bread, cheerios, puffs and cheese. I usually try to put a little bit of whatever we are having on his tray. So far he does not like any of the mushier fruits - bananas, peaches, etc., and is hit/miss on pasta.?

I also have a 9 month old boy and he seems to be on par with what pp have said. Three meals a day and four 6 oz bottles. 

As long as it's not "unhealthy" food, I try to give him a little bit of whatever we're having. Pasta, small pieces of chicken or beef, veggies, fruit. He has stuff like cheerios, yogurt, bread for breakfast.

My kids were different as night and day.

DS started solids at 6 months, added a second meal at about 8 months, and was consistently on 3 meals by 9.5 months.

DD, on the other hand, started solids at 6 months and was on 100% table food by 8.5 months. Girlfriend loves her food. She ate smoky meat sticks at 8.5 months, if that tells you anything.

I nursed both on demand, so no help with bottles.
