How much does your baby eat?

Question

My baby is 8 months old. He has 4 7oz bottles a day. In between those bottles he eats baby food or regular food 3 times a day. Is this normal or am I feeding him too much? Should I cut back on bottles to maybe 3 times a day? What's your feeding schedule for your baby?

Answer

My son has breakfast at 9 then at noon he has a 8oz bottle with nap. Then by 2 he eats lunch. 6 he has another 8oz bottle and bath by 7. By 8 he's getting sleepy and a lil hungry again. So he eats dinner. 9 comes around he's knocked out. He wakes up again around midnight for another 8oz bottle then goes back to sleep until about 5 or 6 am for another bottle and maybe stayed up for about an hour before crashing again or just falls back to sleep till about 9 again for breakfast. Lol.

My 8 mth old eats about 30oz a day in formula and twice a day of regular food - trying to wean her off of formula 😑

Answer

My LO breastfeeds in the morning, after work and before bed, gets two 6 oz. bottles at the babysitter during day, gets 4 oz of food for breakfast and lunch and a snack for dinner while we eat.

Answer

I talked to my doctor about this because my second son is eating way more than my first. He gets an 8 oz. bottle first thing in the morning. Then 3 things of baby food. A bottle with afternoon nap. 3 things of baby food around 2. 3 more things of baby food around 6-7. Then another bottle for bed.  I asked my doctor if that was too much food and he said that since he is gaining at a steady pace, not overweight, and isn't throwing up because of too much food intake etc, that it was fine and that if he wanted 3 things of food at a time that was fine.
