how much solid food is your baby eating??

Question

Hi mommies... I was just wondering how much solids are you feeding your babies and how often? .. I'm up to feeding my baby 6 teaspoons of oatmeal in the morning, 6 teaspoons of rice at night and now introducing a puréed veggie according to the way my doctor has told me to do it. Of course I'm mostly feeding him breastmilk but I feel like this is a lot of solid food for a 5 month old?! I could be wrong ... I'm curious to hear how much everyone is feeding their babies...

Answer

My son has been eating baby food since 3 months (started once a day) 4months (twice a day) and now 5months (3 times a day) 
I never feed rice cereal. It's a quick filler and creates fat babies, because it has no good calories in it. 
I feed my boy oatmeal with baby yogurt mixed With formula 
And a side of a fruit
Then lunch he gets a orange veggie 
And dinner he gets a green veggie.he gets about 3 tbsp of all except at breakfast he only gets about 2tbsp. Because oatmeal and yogurt are very filling.
And I top him off with about 3-5 ounces of bottle. 
And he seems great.
My doctor recommended the yogurt at 4 months because he got dehydrated and he loved it so I just stuck with it. 
I also make yogurt pops out of it. And he loves them!! It's a healthy snack while helping his teething gums! 
But he also gets a bottle first thing in the morning (8 ounces) and right before bed (also 8 ounces. 
And there's a bottle or two between feedings that he gets too but only like 5ounces for those.

My old pediatrician was a joke. Told us "start baby food" and that's it. We just switched and are going to ask our new one, but what did yalls pediatricians say? Any routines? We are doing oatmeal instead of rice cereal for sure.

My daughter started solids at 12 weeks, just some baby rice to begin with then we moved on to puréed veg. She's now 5 months and on 3 meals and 5 bottles a day. She had fish for the first time yesterday and she seemed to really like it

Answer

We started at 4 months. He was about 20 pounds and starting to nurse every hour. So we got the go ahead. We started with oatmeal and rice. Then veggies. And now fruits. He has a tablespoon of fruit, oatmeal and my milk mixed together at noon. Then for supper we do either a veggie mixed with my milk or cereal mixed with my milk. I of course only try one new one every 3 days.
