Any parents out there w/ a 9 month old baby??

Question

Just curious to see what other parents are feeding their baby @ 9 months.

Right now my baby eats (per day):

22oz of milk
2oz of juice
1 jar of fruit
1 jar of vegetable or dinner (ex. turkey & rice dinner)
6 tbls of rice cereal

* I know that every baby is different-- just curious to see what other parents are doing:)

Janka- I'm using formula, darling.

Answer 1

wow my daughter is almost 10 months. but has had the same eating habits for a couple months. a typical day goes like this:

breakfast: 1 jar of stage 3 fruit
3 tablespoons of oatmeal

then bewtween breakfast and lunch (about 5 hours) is:

16oz formula/whole milk (half and half, under physician supervision)
3-4 biter biscuits
3 handfuls fruit puffs (my hand)
10 cheetos

then for lunch is:
1 jar stage veggie
1/2 jar stage 3 meats
small side of ramen noodles
4oz apple juice

between lunch and dinner (about 5 hours):
about the same as between breakfast and lunch. just a little less snacking.

and for dinner it's whatever we are eating.

yes i know it looks like i feed her so much. you're probably all thinking she's a huge baby. but really she's not. at 9 1/2 months she only weighs 22 pounds. oh and i'm not always this precise. her meals do vary from day to day. this is just a typical example day.

Answer 2

My 8 and a half month old eats
4-6 oz bottle of formula on demand (about every 3 hours)
No Juice sometimes water from a sippy cup at meals to practise using the cup!
Cereal for breakfast about 6tbps
Lunch half a junior jar of meat/veg and applesauce or strawberries
Supper toast plain or with Marmite ( a UK delight!) small bits of hard cheese, sometimes some egg yolk, and baby yoghurt.

Not strictly as that but that would be a typical day.

Answer 3

My son will be 9 months tomorrow and he eats in a typical day
I breastfeed so not sure on the ounces of milk that he gets.
juice on special occasions
water with meals about 2 ounces a day
1 fruit with rice cereal for breakfast
1 fruit and 1 vegetable for lunch or 1 fruit and a turkey and rice meal or one of those that is mixed
For supper 1 vegetable and mixed dinner
If i give a fruit for lunch then i give a vegetable for supper.
We then give him the biscuits during the day for snacks.
He weighs about 17 pounds and is about 28 inches long.
When i work during the weekend daddy give him formula and pumped milk and he drinks 4 ounces about every 4 hours in between meals. Every once and a while he will take 6 ounces. He drinks about 6 ounces right before bed. He does eat some table scraps. We are trying to introduce him to new food but food that isn't spiced. I hope this helps. Congratulations. Our baby was born April 2nd when was yours born?

Answer 4

I have an 8-month-old. This is pretty much what she eats:

1/4 cup baby oatmeal
1 jar of fruit
1 jar of veggies
1 "dinner" jar, usually has a meat in it
20-24 oz formula

Sometimes she gets little finger snacks, like flavored puffs or small fruit pieces.

Answer 5

My daughter gets the following:

7am 1/4 cup baby cereal with fruit. Water/juice in a sippy
9:30 7oz bottle
12:00 lunch - ground table food. whole milk in sippy
3:00 7oz bottle
5:00 dinner. whatever we are having, ground. whole milk in sippy
7:30 bottle with 5tsp cereal
8 bedtime

Her (approximate) totals are: 12 tsp of cereal, 2 oz fruit, 4 oz diluted juice (2oz juice, 2oz water), 8oz diluted whole milk (4oz milk, 4oz water), and 2 small table food meals. Approx 4-5oz each.

This follows the three meals + snacks that she will have when she is older. The bottles will easily be replaced with sippy cups and some healthy snack food at that time. By oder of my peditrician, she gets whole milk diluted with water. by 10 months she will have straight whole milk supplements. Her milk will gradually increase and formula decrease and by 12 months she will be off formula and off her bottle. she is very agreeable to this. she LOVES her sippy cup is only mildy interested in her bottle.
She eats whatever foods we eat, either fork mashed or ground. She loves all foods, even veggies. I have not found anything she refuses to eat. She eats small meals, but she eats in her high chair at the "family table" for meals. Something my hubby and I never did til she came along.

Answer 6

I have 2 children. My son is 2 and a half years old. My daughter is 1 year old. At 9 months, both of my children had 6 teeth each.
They were getting 6 8oz bottles of baby formula, 1 8oz bottle of water, 1 8oz bottle of juice, 1 reg packet of instant oatmeal made with baby formula instead of milk, 3 medium sized jars of
fruit (1 at each meal), 2 medium sized jars of vegetables,
( 1 each at lunch and dinner), 2 medium sized dinner baby food jars ( 1 for lunch and 1 for dinner) Plus a few crackers, zwieback toast, and other assorted finger foods, as snacks.
I also gave them vitamins with iron each day.
Developing minds and bodies need lot of nutrients to grow properly. Parents shouldn't be concerned about their child getting too many calories or whatever at that age.
Right now, my son weighs 24 lbs and my daughter weighs 18 lbs,
which is about normal for their ages.
They both eat about the same things, now.
4 8 oz sippy cups of whole milk, 1 8oz sippy cup of juice, 3 - 4
8 oz sippy cups of water. A bowl of cereal with milk, 2 pieces of toast with butter, Salad, vegetable, potato, meat for lunch,
Yogurt with fruit for dessert, and something similar for dinner

Answer 7

on an identical time as the respectable advice isn't any sreen time under 2 years previous, i think of the main important subject is 'show time' changing genuine interaction. i do no longer think of what you're doing is unquestionably undesirable, yet be careful that he might get so used to it that it is going to become component of his night ritual. Will the dvd continually be obtainable? What approximately trip? What if the DVD participant breaks down? in my opinion i attempt to maintain the evenings as low tech as obtainable for this reason. we are able to continually study yet another e book or make up a bedtime tale, yet a dvd or case in point an electric 'soothing' gentle tutor that performs a particular lullaby is confusing to interchange.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

You shouldn't be giving your baby cow's milk before a year old. I could cause allergies and get him sick.

But what you're feeding him is pretty normal on what you should be doing.
