How much solids is your 7-8 month old eating?

azaretsky · August 2009

We started solids at 6 months, and DS still has only 5-6 little spoon-fulls of whatever it is that I give him at breakfast and dinner. I have a feeling he's not eating enough. How much solids can your 7-8 month old LO eat at a meal?

Do you think this is worrisome in any way?

BM/Formula is the most important under 1. Solids are "just for fun." According to my pedi, they're meant for the LOs to get used to the whole chewing concept. I wouldn't stress about it.

LO eats about three jars a day. He also gets 20-24 ounces of formula for the day too.

3 meals a day, about 2 jars of babyfood, plus 2 meals of finger food.

3 meals a day, about 3 jars or 2 jars and a yogurt. He also gets around 20-24oz of formula (3 - 8oz bottles)

Breastmilk or formula are definitely more important so as long as he's eating plenty of that, he's fine.

Kiddo has only self fed - sometimes he eats quite a bit; other times hardly anything at all. I don't worry.
