Solids question

MaggieF516 · January 2013

I've been giving my little guy the pureed fruits and vegetables for a little while now, but he seems to be drinking so much less milk because of this. Just curious as to how much of the solids I should be feeding him daily. He eats most of one of the smaller jars about twice a day, but I'm wondering if this may be too much or not enough? How much is everyone else giving their little ones about the same age? Thanks in advance!!

little man was only eating about an ounce/once a day. But it took him awhile to enjoy eating. I have heard to feed them as much solids as they want as long as they are eating a certian amount of milk per day.(i think it is 24 but i might be wrong with that)

What does your schedule look like? Make sure you're feeding the bottle before solids or spacing them out far enough that his hunger rebuilds.

My LO eats 3 containers a day (breakfast , lunch, dinner) and 6 7 oz bottles a day.

I was always under the impression that "food is fun till 1". I BF DS and I try to let at least 30 min. go by after bfing before I give solids. BM or Formula...which you use...should still be the main source of nutrition right now and solids shouldn't be replacing any milk feedings.
