How many ounces of solids does your baby eat?

Question

My baby girl will be 8 months on the 2nd. She eats about 2 ounces of solids at each feeding and I feed her 3 times a day. I think if I feed her more she will take it, but if I stop she seems satisfied too. So in total she eats about 6-7 ounces of solids a day. She is small. Weighs 16 lbs. She is formula fed and drinks about 24 ounces a day. She hasn't started crawling yet, but it looks like she will be getting there soon. I know babies tend to eat more when they start becoming more active. Just wondering what's the normal range of solids for babies at this age.

Answer

I got this at my doctors office it's obviously just a sample and do whatever you feel comfortable with.

Answer

My kid is a tank (born 12/5). He eats between 6-12 oz of solids a day and a whopping 40+ oz of formula. I think he must be going through a growth spurt. He is also VERY active. Crawling and pulling up on the furniture. He's also a big boy, he was in the 80% for height and weight at his 6 month check up. 
But I read that baby only needs 1-1.5 oz of formula per pound at this age and food before 1 is just for fun.

Answer

Our son eats about 6oz of fruit or veggie mixed with oatmeal twice a day and about 20oz of formula spread out during the day. Plus a couple of snacks of banana or puffs in between. We've started giving him bits of our food at meals too. He had scrambled eggs for breakfast this morning. (:

Answer

My son eats about 4oz 3 times a day. And then he's breastfed when he wants

Answer

We do baby led weaning. So he eats whatever we eat. No ounces to count.

Answer

My son eats about 30 oz of formula a day and then twice a day we do solids, I mix 2 oz baby food with 3 tablespoons rice cereal and 2 oz formula

Answer

My boy, born 12/6, eats oatmeal in the morning about 2oz, then eats the 4oz size baby food, 4oz fruit for lunch, and 4oz veg for dinner.  He also has 30oz of formula for the day.

Answer

My doctor said feed him until he show signs he is full (as long as he is still getting milk/formula as usual). I feed my son twice a day, each time he eats 4oz of fruits or veggies and 2 tablespoons of cereal or oatmeal.

Answer

My son gets 2 oz twice a day, we started later. We will incorporate a third solid feeding soon as he is polishing off his other two very easily. He is EBF and feeds about 7x per day for around 7mins per feed.

Answer

2oz 3x a day. If we do a pouch though she'll down the whole 4oz. 
She drinks 5oz of breast milk 4x a day.
