How much solids does your LO eat each day?

blessed_wife · March 2010

How many servings? Besides the 28ish ounces of formula, DD eats 1 can of puree and a few baby crackers a day. I feel like I'm not giving her enough, but she's not complaining. Does this sound about right?

Pretty boring question, I apologize!

DS has always had a pretty big appetite. He is getting 3 tbsp of fruit puree with 2 tbsp cereal mixed with BMilk in the morning, 3 tbsp of veggie puree at lunch time, then 3 tbsp veggies mixed with 3 tbsp cereal & BMilk for dinner. He also nurses about 5 times/day. He's a really active little guy so I think he just has a high-speed metabolism!

We feed LO soids twice a day - one fruit and one veggie, but she usually only eats half of a container of puree, so she ends up with about a container (the small ones) per day. I also give her a few puffs a couple times a day as a snack.

At 8 months we were working our way up to solids (purees) three times a day. With the occasional Mums or puffs.

3 tablespoons of oatmeal with half a container of fruit in the morning or a full container of fruit that already has a grain mixed in and a container of veggies for dinner. we're on the 2nd stage foods now

Up until about 2 weeks ago, DS wouldn't eat more than 1oz of pureed fruits/veggies twice a day. Practically overnight there was a change in him, he now eats 2-3oz twice a day. I'm not sure when we'll start a third meal. He also gets puffs and fruit in the mesh feeder.

We do 2 or 3 solids meals per day. ?For breakfast he will eat a whole yogurt (4 oz), then sometimes we do "lunch" of either fruit or veggie (stage 2 container), then dinner of either fruit or veggie (stage 2 container). ?He will also eat a handful of puffs, or some yogurt melts too.

Sounds good to me. DS eats two meals a day - either a pot of yogurt or cereal with fruit for brunch and some veg for dinner. We just had our first snack of cheese and puffs today(2-3 teeny, tiny bites of cheddar and 2 puffs).

DD eats way more than all of these responses... she's 20lbs and 28 1/2 inches at 6 months though.

She has...

4tbsp cereal and a jar stage 2 fruit for breakfast

jar stage 2 veggies (and sometimes 1/2 jar fruit too) for lunch

4tbsp cereal and a jar of chicken/veg for dinner (just started this week with meat) and sometimes 1/2 jar of fruit

Oddly enough, we are struggling to get our 25+ pound 9 month old to eat solids at all. We get maybe 1-2 bites in a day. We're not too worried about it though since he's clearly gaining enough weight from breastmilk:).

i feed him solids twice a day. i make my own and freeze them in cubes. each cube is approx. 1 oz. he usually gets 2 cubes each time, but today, he seemed to want more, so he ate 3 cubes the 2nd time.

I think babies this age are all over the place. We're doing a very modified baby led weaning approach, basically supplementing purees with finger foods. She went through a period where she wanted nothing to do with purees. We seem to be out of that and she is increasing her solid intake a bit. We also just added a third meal. Today's menu was:

Breakfast: A little more than an ounce of apple/pumpkin puree (I make my own food), part of a baby food pancake.

Lunch: 1 1/2 tbsp of yogurt with about an ounce of cranberry puree , followed by apple pieces and a Mum Mum

Dinner: 1 1/2 ounces of pear/peach puree, a bunch of carrots pieces I pulled out of the lentil soup we were having for dinner and a mini waffle.

I usually defrost 2 oz of puree. She rarely eats all of that. Then I do some finger food, depends on what I have around and what we are eating.

DD eats solids twice a day : 1/2 jar of fruit puree and 1/2 jar of veggies/meat per meal. She also eats the occasional MumMum cookie and a handful of cheerios.

My DD eats a lot compared to most of these babies too. She nurses 6 times/day still, and eats three solid meals/day. We tried to start out slowly but she would cry and cry if we were eating and she wasn't, so we went pretty quickly to three meals. I make my own food too, and I freeze it in two ounce containers. She eats 2 oz of fruit with a 1/4 cup of cereal (mixed with water) for breakfast, 2 oz fruit & 2 oz veggie for lunch, and 1 oz meat & 3 oz veggie for dinner. Sometimes I do more cereal instead of the second veggie or add in a yogurt, etc. But the amounts are basically the same. She has also just started snacking on puffs, which she loves. My DS has always been a big eater as well so for me it seems normal, but I know babies will be all over the map with solids.
