How much should I be feeding my baby? Baby food .

Question

Hello !! So I formula feed my baby. And we have been in ridiculing baby foods for the last 2-3 weeks. My baby loves green beans, butternut squash, and carrots so far. I feel like she would eat the whole jar if I let her. We started with breakfast doing half a can.... then 4 oz of her normal formula... now we’re doing half a can for breakfast and the other half for dinner.... is this to much for her to be eating a whole can a day/ divided into two servings ? She is 5 months old. She is still getting her normal amount of formula as well.

Answer

Let her eat the entire jar then. 🤷🏻‍♀️ If she’s hungry, feed her.

Answer

Maybe try formula first? Then if she wants the whole jar then so be it! My ped said to do it that way. Formula should be her main form of nutrition for a little while longer I think.

Answer

I agree with Sonia, start with the formula first as that’s going to be her main source of nutrition until she’s one, then after a bottle feed purées! I’d she still ends up eating the entire jar in those two sittings let her!

Answer

I always do 4oz of a purée first thing in the am with about 4 oz of formula after and then formula the rest of the day

Answer

Bottle first! The nutrients in formula are the necessity, solid food is just to help work them towards solids as they grow and don’t need formula anymore around a year old. We do bottle, play for about 45 minutes, and then do solids and my chick eats a ton of her purée, even after the bottle. I let her keep going until she stops opening her mouth and actively looking for the spoon, we do twice a day at the moment.

Answer

My daughter is almost 6 months and we have been doing half a jar each sitting. Right now we do two meals a day, so one whole jar a day. I also gave her a teething cracker today after the purée and she loved it! We do bottle first, and then 30 minutes later solids.
