How much does/did your 8 month old baby weigh and how much food/milk does/did he eat?

Question

Just wondering on how much everyone's baby weighed and measured lengthwise at 8/9 months. Also, I would like to know what you feed/fed your baby for breakfast/lunch/dinner and the quantity for each feeding.

Answer 1

I actually just looked this up yesterday for another question. Our son, who is a giant kid by most standards (97th %tile in height 75%tile in weight at that time), weighed in at 24 1/2 lbs at 9 months; he was 30 1/2 inches with a 19 inch head circumference.

He was eating 3 meals of Gerber 3 baby foods with a yogurt snack in the middle of the day and 4-5 bottle or sippy cups of milk (basically one at every meal with an extra thrown in there)

Answer 2

She's about 20 pounds. She gets 3- 8 oz bottles and 1 cup of juice (8 oz 1/2 juice/ 1/2 water). She hasn't wanted any baby food for about three months now, so she eats whatever we do. Cereal, toast, or fruit for breakfast, some meat, maybe some cheese, and a fruit or veggie at lunch (or sometimes just a fruit or veggie), and meat, pasta or potatoes, and veggies at dinner most of the time. She really likes all the green veggies for some reason. Oh, and sometimes she gets a fruit snack or some extra ceral when dinner's running late. She's working on how to use a fork and we're trying to get her to take her milk out of a cup, but not much luck so far.

Answer 3

my 8 1/2 month old weighs 17 lbs and is around 28 inches long. He's kinda a skinny guy but he eats and eats and eats. between 40 - 46 oz of formula a day. Three meals: usually fruit with oatmeal for breakfast (a stage 2 fruit with about equal amounts of oatmeal), anything he can self-feed -fruits, veggies, gerber puffs- for lunch, (a whole banana or whole avacado or both, with some gerber puffs or a a whole bagel), and a meat, rice, and veggie for dinner (whole stage 2 meat and veggie, equal amounts of rice). With a few snacks like biter biscuits, toddler cookies, mini bagels, etc. thrown in there whenever he's hungry and a bottle of juice. I swear if a normal baby eats what he eats they'd weigh 50 lbs. He's just gonna be one of those boys with the super metabolism I wish I could have.

Answer 4

Everybody's babies are different. You can't take one child and expect the next child to be same weigh and height. I am 5' 2" you maybe 4' 10" My sister was, but my brother is 6' +. When my sister was born she only weighted 4 lbs. When I was born I weighted 6 lbs and 10 oz. I had two kids one weighted 6 lbs 12 ozs the other weighted 6 lbs 11 ozs. Now they are about 30 lbs difference in weight. Ask your doctor what your baby should be eating at 8 months old.
