Food Questions, Almost 7 mos old

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Hi Ladies,

How much are your little ones eating? We're on bottles now, so I'm wondering how much expressed milk/formula others eat during the day - and how much solids. Cereal amounts? Fruits and veggies? And feeding schedule?

Thanks in advance!!

    DS just turned 7 months, and we started solids at 6 months.

    He has 4 bottles of 5-6 oz + 1 bottle of 9 oz before bed plus about an oz of fruit or veggitables twice a day. We aren't doing cereals at all.

    I always offer her a 7oz bottle but she seems to only take 6oz at her first and last bottle.

    We started solids at exactly 6 months, so it's still slow-going.

    He still nurses on demand and gets three 6-oz bottles of EBM at daycare.  DS resisted rice cereal by itself, so we didn't force it.  In the morning, after nursing, he eats 2-3 tbsp of a fruit puree mixed with rice cereal and another 1-2 tbsp of a vegetable.  At dinner time, he gets 2-3 tbsp of a vegetable puree and another 1-2 tbsp of a fruit puree mixed with rice cereal.  So basically 3-4 tbsp of purees (with some rice cereal mixed in) at each of two meals.  We'll add a lunchtime meal in a month or so.

    He hasn't disliked any foods except rice cereal.  We've done pears, sweet potatoes, peas, and bananas.  Tomorrow we start oatmeal; by weekend I'd like to offer carrots.  I make all of his food from organic produce, locally grown if I can find it.

    His nursing habits are unchanged, but we noticed he's sleeping a lot better now that he's getting some balast in his tummy in the evening.

    The last bottle is usually around 6oz. Sometimes he finishes, sometimes he may eat 4 or 5oz.
