Help! 6 month feeding milk + solids - How much?

Hey mamas,

I have a 6 month old and she is slightly under weight (-1.5 lbs than average) and I am worried she’s not eating enough.

My pediatrican never answered me on how much oz of milk or solid purée food to be giving her. They just told me to feed her 3 times a day solids. So I’ve been doing that but I’m worried she’s not getting enough milk. She’s a good eater but is limited. She will turn away from the bottle or spoon when she’s done so I don’t force her to eat more than she wants to eat.

Her schedule I’m still working on, this is what it somewhat looks like right now. I need advice on how many oz of milk I need to give her per feed and also how many oz of solid purée food I should feed her? Please help! I am so stressed.

Her schedule looks somewhat like this… she will only eat max 5 oz of milk per sitting. Most times it’s less than that.

7:00 am - Milk 4-5 oz (give her 5 oz doesn’t always finish)

8:00 am - Solids Purée 4 oz (finishes it)

Then play (1 hour) and nap (30 mins)

10:00 am - Milk 3-5 oz (give her a 5 oz but she only takes 2.5 oz)

11 am - Solids Purée 4 oz (finishes it)

Then play (1 hour) and nap (30 min)

2:30 pm - Milk 3-5 oz

Then play (1 hour) and nap (1 hour)

4:00 pm - Milk 3-5 oz

Then play 1 hour) and nap 30 mins

5:30 pm - Solids 4 oz (finishes it)

Play until bedtime

7:00 pm - clears a 5 oz and goes to bed and sleeps for 12 hours (wakes up randomly but I don’t need to feed her anymore like I use to when she was younger)

Total Milk Max 25 oz

Total Solid Max 12 oz

I read that 6 months babies need up to 32 oz of breast milk in 24 hours. And for solids it’s at least 2-4 table spoons (1-2 oz of food) a day 3 times a day.

Even when she was only drinking milk alone she will only drink about 5 oz max about 5 times a day with only 1 oz of food or 1 table spoon of food a day.

I am open to any suggestions. Also any foods I can feed my baby to help put on some more weight? I want to do it gradually so it’s not forced upon her. I don’t want to force feed.

Thank you so so much. Hope to hear from someone…..
