I'm always wondering whether or not I'm giving my daughter enough... also, how much cereal/solid foods were you giving them a day. I know a lot of it goes by weight and height, I'm just looking for some ball park estimates here. Thanks! I forgot since I had my first daughter!

My son is seven months old--and a long boy--I think that's why he eats a lot! Now that he's on solids he drinks formula a lot less then he once did. He eats cereal mixed with applesauce both in the morning and before bed (made with formula instead of water--fed with a spoon). He eats two meals; lunch and dinner. Lunch is normally a stage two vegetable and a sippy with diluted apple juice. Dinner is normally a stage three dinner. He now only has--about 24 oz of formula a day--including the formula mixed in with the cereal. He has about 8 oz of diluted apple juice a day--or water. Hope this helps. Best of luck with your daughter!

My daughter's pediatrician said between 18-24 oz. of breastmilk/formula per day. She had about 5 oz. of cereal for breakfast. About 1 jar of stage 1 baby food (veggies & fruit) at lunch and the same for dinner. She wasn't on stage 2 foods with meat until 9 months.

I always gave my babies as much as they would eat. Every baby is different though my baby was eating about 6 8 onces of formula at a sitting with a small amount of cereal and solids

My understanding is they nonetheless desire a minimum of 20 oz of formulation/breastmilk an afternoon by a million year of age. otherwise, with a view to get him interior the habit of an outstanding weightloss plan, furnish slightly meat, veggie, fruit, and an finished grain at each meal. I advise providing the fruit very last as dessert. We made a pot roast interior the sluggish cooker with onions and carrots, with out salt or substances, and he loves that. you could freeze a number of it for later foodstuff. you could upload the salt, etc. to you and your husband's plates. Cherrios and finished grain rice are a favorite. He also loves bits of bananas and blueberries. Peas and sweet potatos are a standard restoration. style in "toddler finger meals" into your seek for engine for more than a number of serious ideas.

Under the age of one it is my understanding that most of the nutrition comes from milk/formula.
Good Luck
