Hi I was wondering what a typical day of eating consists of for other babies of/around 10 months.
DS has breakfast usually something he can feed himself or yogurt and a 4 oz sippy cup of formula.
midmorning snack with sippy cup of water.
Lunch either something I cook or baby food if he is at grandparents. with 4 oz sippy cup of formula.
Afternoon snack and 4oz sippy cup of formula.
Dinner whatever we eat and sippy cup of water.
8 oz bottle before bed.
He has 20oz of formula a day, is that sufficient or does it need to be more since he is 10 months?

We've been offering a few finger foods but she doesn't really have the hang of that yet. We've given her Baby Mum Mum crackers, homemade frozen yogurt drops, and bits of bread. We also do fresh fruit through a mesh feeder.

DS nurses when he wakes up, every 3ish hours during the day, at bedtime, plus/minus once overnight. I haven't noticed any major decrease in his intake relative to when he was EBF.
For breakfast he usually eats a scrambled egg with cheese.
If we're eating something good for him, he gets that for lunch, but he doesn't always get a specific lunch.
He eats whatever we're having (meat and veggie) for dinner. He's obsessed with meat--he often eats almost as big a portion as I do.
He also has puffs or baby crackers a few times throughout the day, and has access to water in a sippy cup, although he hasn't really gotten into drinking it yet.

Sounds like a lot of nursing but she doesn't seem to take a lot at most of them. I offer water with most of her meals but I just hand it to her a few times to take some sips and then I take it back because she'll drink too much if I let her, and then wouldn't nurse.
