How much baby food (solids)? Help!

Question

Hi! My little one is 7 months old, and he’s been eating solids for about a month now.  He has 2 tablespoons of oatmeal for breakfast (plus a 6oz bottle), and a tablespoon of a fruit or veggie (plus 6oz bottle)  for dinner.  I’m not really sure if this is enough, too much?  Doctor said we can start adding solids for lunch as well.  Any advice!?!?

Answer

We started solids at 4 months. He eats 2x a day, around noon fruit and vegetables in the evening. He eats pretty much right now, but still doesnt miss his milk intake 4-5x in 24 hours.

Answer

We started “solids” (breast milk with baby oatmeal) at 4.5 months. My LO is now just over 7 months and eats it all. It was only 1.5oz of milk with four baby spoons of oatmeal for the first month at night when we had dinner. I’ve slowly added food and the thickness as we go. We are now at 2 “meals” and some snacks. She always nurses about 30 minutes before we offer solids. She eats the baby food anywhere from half the jar to the whole jar along with whatever soft things we are having for dinner. Tonight she had broccoli to gum to death and a jar of baby food. She also had some puffs why I was cooking dinner.

Answer

If we do oatmeal with peanut butter in it he’ll polish off 1/3 to 1/2 of the packet (we use the regular plain oatmeal packets, not baby oatmeal)

Answer

My son will have a 5 oz. bottle then about an hour later he has about half a 4 oz jar of food. I do this 2-3 times a day depending on how the day goes. So he has anywhere from 4-6 oz. I let him go until he seems uninterested so some days it’s more some days it’s less.

Answer

EBF baby, not interested in puree, never finished even 1/3 jar. He only eats things that he can grab and chew. But even 10 corn puffs is very little food. He hates spoons, will shut his mouth if I try to spoon feed him, and push the food off the spoon if I offer the preloaded spoon to him.
I put him in the high chair whenever I am eating. He would fuss if he stays in high chair for too long, and nurses immediately when he is off.
I feel like a failure. So sorry for all the wasted organic baby food ; (

Answer

Our 7 month old twins started with 1 oz a day at about 5 months, then went to 1 2oz feed a day, and are now at 2 2oz. feedings. Not much help with the bottle as I mainly breastfeed.

Answer

I let baby eat solids to fullness and then we do a bottle about 30ish minutes after. My baby eats a ton 😂😂😂 he usually goes through an entire egg + some fruit at breakfast and for dinner just now he ate half of a decent sized potato (half leftover from our dinner the other night so it was an adult size portion) and a tablespoon of hummus.
