solids

My babe is in month 9 as of yesterday. She's been eating solids and formula, but how much solids should she be eating per meal?

Unlike previous weeks, she seems to LOVE eating solids and eats much more than before. I wonder if I am feeding her too much?

At that age I think I was making a 6 oz bottle, DS would drink most of it and I would use the rest to make his cereal with, usually about 2 scoops.  I would also have a jar of fruit in the morning and a jar of veggies at night.  After he had that, I would offer bits of whatever we were eating, mashed potatoes, really cooked carrots, noodles...He would let us know when he was done.  Hope that helps!

it's natural for them to start shifting more toward solids.  Around 9 months, DD got 4 7oz bottles during the day.  I fed her whatever she'd eat at other meals.  Now, at 11 months, she only takes 2 5oz bottles and lots of solids, with WCM at meals.

My son is the same age as your babe. He's having 1 5-oz bottle and 3 7 oz bottles per day. He eats quite a bit of solid food, too. For breakfast, probably 1/4 c yogurt and fruit, or a handful of cheerios, a scrambled egg, and half a banana. He eats more than my 3 year old daughter for dinner most of the time and plenty for lunch, too. He must be growing, because it's crazy how much he eats!

My babe drinks 4 3-oz bottles per day and two plates of solids (about 3 1.5-oz solids) and two to three snacks (1/2 pear, pouched apples & puffs)

And she poops 3-5 times a day!
