8 1/2 Months: Amount of solids?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

LO has always been very good about eating/trying solids. She just never ate a whole lot of it. It would take us two or three tries to get through a 4 oz. container. Over the past couple of days, she is wanting more and more. She is eating up to 5 or 6 oz. at lunch and/or dinner. Is that typical? For breakfast, she has 1 1/2 tbsps of oatmeal mixed with juice/fruit.

I worry that she's eating too much food, but keeps opening her mouth for more. I'm just wondering how much other babies are eating at this age. She has her next appointment on the 25th, so I'll definitely talk to her pediatrician about it as well.

Oh, and she also has between 24 and 30 oz. of formula a day as well.

    That doesn't seem like too much to me. DS eats 1/3 cup oatmeal & 2oz fruit for breakfast and 4oz of some sort of veggie/meat/combo for lunch. We will be adding another meal in at dinner soon also.  Until just the last day or so he was only bf, so not sure about how much he drinks.

    DD eats 24 oz formula, two 4 oz meals and then gets finger foods (puffs, cheese, fruit, etc.)  Sounds like you're doing fine!

    This sounds about like my guy - he's 0 percentile weight and has about the same about of milk and three 2-4 oz meals per day. I think as long as your LO is still eating enough milk you are ok. 

    Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)
    Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements
    March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!
    Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!

    Nov. 16, 2015 FET of single adopted 5AA embryo - BFN

    Our pedi said to keep offering until she shows signs of being done.  There aren't that many calories in those little jars, so I don't think it's anything to be concerned about.

    DS eats about 24-30 ounces and gets about 3 meals of 4ish ounces a day.
