Starting solids-amounts?

Question

6 months EBF until I started baby puréed foods last week. She's eating 1-2 oz twice per day. Is that in line? Too much too little? Bm intake has not lessened. Advice on amounts please?

Answer

The world health organization says to start at 1-2 tbsp at 6 months and work your way to to 4 ounces by 9 months. 3 meals a day

Answer

My baby started at 4months. I started with 2oz a day and then when he turned 5months I started giving him 4oz a day. And now that hes 6months ive been giving 8oz a day. 4oz in the morning and 4oz at night. He still drinks 25-30oz of formula a day as well.

Answer

My son is 6, almost 6.5 months, and eats 4 tbsp oatmeal with 1 oz of fruit for breakfast, 2.5 oz of fruit at lunch and 5-6 oz of food at dinner, with bottles in between. He decreased his formula from 28 to 22-24 oz/day. We started him on solids just before he turned 5 months. He started rolling back to tummy a few weeks ago and weaned himself off his overnight 2-3 am feed to a top off feeding between 10-12. He goes to bed 7:30-8. I'm glad we started solids early because he got a nasty cold that lasted a week and was refusing bottles but he would gladly take a spoon and knew how to eat already.

Answer

I don't measure his food and just make an amount and feed him till he doesn't want any more. I'm not over feeding him because he makes it very clear when he's full and I stop and offer him fruit or finger food after for him to mess around with while I clean him up. He eats 3 meals a day and has 6oz of milk 3 times a day in between but still a feed in the night.

Answer

Jayden started at 4 months and I did an ounce a day now he's 5 months and taking 2oz of baby food a day

Answer

I read that baby's tummy is the size of his fist, so to prevent constipation, try not give him more than his fist size as a rough estimate!
