How much is your LO eating right now?

How much is your baby eating right now including solids (if you're serving)?  Can you also tell me the amount of solids you serve? 

  • LO has 4,4oz bottles of breastmilk while at daycare.
  • From the breast: 1 feeding before daycare, 2 feedings between when we get home and he goes to bed. 1 night feeding.  (I ususally pump about 4 oz so I am guessing he gets 4-5 oz when he eats each time)
  • He has 1 tbsp oatmeal and about 1 tbsp of a puree per day.

Did you start to serve more ounces of milk as your LO got older?  My understanding is that breastmilk content changes, but not necessarily more volume?  When did you start offering more amounts of solids?  (Just watched for your LO wanting more?) Just asking this question out of curiosity.

    our babies are about the same age - my daughter eats about 30oz of breastmilk a day (although this really varies between 25-32, she has hungry days and not hungry days) and so far is only having a few tastes of real food.  Tonight she licked a banana twice, if that counts.

    4 nursing sessions 3 solid feeds a day (about 11 ounces of solids) i

    I started ounce at dinner. then added more when he would eat all of that. (i just offered another ounce) and here lately i had to add another ounce because he would start fussing when i would clean him up.

    when he got to 3 ounces at dinner i added an ounce at breakfast. then eventually lunch.  now he is up to 3 ounces at breakfast and lunch and 5 at dinner.  I s

    Lux gets two morning feeding a good half an hour each. then one food feeding, that is anywhere from 4-7 oz, depending on her interest at the time, then 3-4 feedings, all around half an hour each. and one more food feeding, again 4-7 oz, and at least one more nightly feeding, maybe two depending on her hunger. then bed time.

    At seven months old, my chunk-a-monk is eating 3-4 6 oz bottles of formula a day, as well as three servings of solids.  We use gerber 2nd foods and she eats anywhere from 3.5-7 ounces in a sitting.  We also give her puffs after dinner to keep her busy while I get her bath ready.  She loves her food!

    My LO is 8 months and is drinking 28-32 ozs of formula a day along with eating 10.5 ozs of gerber puree solids a day.

    I was told by my doctor that her formula should not go below 24ozs in the first year and if it does we should reduce solids.

    My little guy has 24+ oz of breastmilk or formula (that's as much as I can track, but he nurses a couple more times as well).

    He has 2-3 tbsp of cereal with 2 oz fruit in the morning, 2 oz veggie in the afternoon, and then a "big meal" for dinner:  2 tbsp cereal, 2 oz veggie, 2 oz fruit.  I'm going to start adding in meats (I make my own food) mixed with the veggies this weekend and will probably drop the cereal with dinner as a result.

     

    My little guy loves to eat, that's for sure!
