How much did your 6 month old

WaitingforOlivia2009 · September 2009

Weigh? Did you start solids before 6 months or at 6 months? Also how many ounces of formula are they were they taking??

TIA

DD was 20lbs at her 6mo appt last week.

She gets 5oz in her bottles and gets probably 5 a day. we started solids (cereal) at 4mo, veggies at 5mo and fruit now at 6mo. she gets breakfast, lunch and dinner now.

C weighed 18 lbs 4 oz at 6 months and was 28 inches. ?He was eating less than an ounce of solids per day at that point. ?I'm going to guess that he was taking about 30 oz of formula a day.

at Liam's 6 mo appt he was 16 lbs 7 oz. he's BF- he usually nurses 3-4 times a day at home, and while at daycare, at 6 mo, he took 3 4-5 oz bottles a day. we didn't start solids until he was 6 mo.

20lbs 8oz

We started solids a little before 6 months, but he hates them. (ETA: he eats less than an ounce.)

0ozs of formula but nurses every 3-5 hours around the clock

18 lbs. at his 6 month appointment. Solids after 6 months. EBF since solids aren't going well. The answer to all of your questions will differ greatly depending on the baby.

We started oatmeal at 3.5 months for severe reflux. She was eating about 40 oz a day at that time. She now eats stage 2 fruits and veggies 3 times a day and eats about 30 oz a day as well. She weighed 14 pounds, 2 ounces at her 5 month checkup and was almost 27 inches long.

DS was 16lbs 10oz and 26 inches at 6 months. We started solids at 4.5 months and he was eating 3 tablespoons each of oatmeal, veggies and fruit a day as well as 36oz of formula. Now he eats solids 3x a day and takes about 12oz of solids and 30oz of formula a day. He's always been a huge eater

Lily is very similar! She has a huge appetite. I forgot to mention all of the oatmeal she eats too!! Perhaps that's how she gained almost 6 pounds since she started eating solids....

sooo apparently mine is the big eater. she takes 5-eight ounce bottles a day for a grand total of 40 ozs - but she never takes all 8 ozs so really i'd say she takes somewhere between 32 and 40 ozs. her 6 month appt is this week but she's about 18 lbs (guestimating based on her weight a few weeks ago at a sick appt). no solids yet, just started rice cereal about a week ago but haven't kept up too much with it. really going for it after our appt this week.

C was 15 lbs 8 oz. Started solids at 4.5 months. She was on 2 meals of solids a day (cereal & fruit or veggie, maybe 4oz total) and about 24-28oz of formula a day.
