portion size and how often: solids @ 8 months

globalwife

LO started solids at 6 months. She is still eating purees, all homemade. I'm not sure about how many portions a day she should be eating and how big the portions should be. She is also EBF and we are continuing the same amount of BM as always.

ours have continued to take the same amount of milk as always as well.

we do about 60% homemade purees, and they usually eat 1-2 cubes with 1-3 oz of oatmeal each. We also do yogurt and applesauce and they'll do 1-2 oz of each as well (as a separate meal). We try for 3 meals but usually get 2 where they will eat.

My LO is a bit younger but we do 3 meals. After early nap at about 9, LO gets 1 oz of fruit w 1 tbs of cereal mixed in. Lunch is at 12ish, 2 oz and dinner at 5:30 2 oz. I'm going to increase to 3 oz soon. LO breastfeeds too.

she's 7.5 months and does (3) 3-4 oz jars of solids a day. I EP and her milk intake went down when we introduced solids. She is drinking 20-30 oz milk a day.
