How much does your 5 month old eat?

smileyone

Our LO turned 5 months last week. She used to be on a pretty set schedule, but the past few days have been all over the place.

Can you please tell me how much your 5 month old eats and how often?

TIA!

I'm curious to see what people are going to say...

DS eats 4-5 oz every 2-3 hours, which I think is on the low end.  I've tried to feed him more but he won't eat more than that.  He also eats 1tb of cereal in the morning.

DS eats anywhere from 6-8 ounces every 3-4 hours. He also eats a tablespoon of rice cereal in the afternoon and some veggies at night. He is only in the 50th percentile for weight, but off the charts for height, so I think he is just a fast metabolizer.

before introducing solids, it was 5-6 oz every 3-4 hrs.

now she's 4-5 oz every 3-4 hrs and before bedtime she gets 6 oz...

DDs eat 6oz every 3-4 hours. We started introducing solids about a week ago, so they eat a veggie (with some cereal mixed in) in addition to that also. They are 50th and 75th percentile for weight and 95th for height.

My guys eat 7 oz. every 3 hours (they eat 5 times between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. and then nothing overnight).

Breakfast is a container of fruit and a tablespoon of oatmeal

Lunch is a container of veggie and a container of fruit

Dinner is a container of veggie

DD also drinks three 8 oz bottles a day-24 oz total.

***Editing to add in that she eats every 3 hours except dinner and the last bottle of the day which are about an hour apart.
