How much are your LO eating??

Question

My guy eats 5 bottles a day like 6-8 ounces and 3 meals (for example breakfast will be a scrambled egg, handful of cheerios, and half a banana), and an afternoon snack of crackers or cheerios or something.  Is this too much? He was in the 38th percentile for weight at 6 months so hes definitely not a chunk...I just feel like this is so much food for a 7 month old...please tell me my guy isn't the only hog out there?!?!?!

Answer

My little guy has five (6oz) bottles a day and two solids. Each solid is about 4-5oz. To be honest in the last week we noticed he was hungrier and eating more frequent. We are planning on introducing a third solid in the day and increasing his bottles to 8 ounces. He’s been in the 50-60th percentile for weight since birth.

Answer

My daughter is 7.5 months old and has breakfast, lunch and dinner plus snacks in between. She’ll have around 3 or 4 5oz bottles a day.

Answer

My son is breastfed, still feeds the same as always but now with breakfast, a snack after his first nap (usually goats cheese/Greek yogurt and berries), and a meal (usually puree) after his last nap. He also eats bits of my food throughout the day and I tend to give him a banana at a random point of the day. He's skinny as hell though, barely gaining weight and pretty much not on the percentile chart. He is very advanced and unbelievably mobile though, healthcare professionals aren't worried so I guess I shouldn't be either.

Answer

Nothing wrong with a hungry baby —- or feeding a hungry baby!  Chow on, cute boy!
