Solids, how much?

Question

I'm going by the cues LO gives me and it seems her amount has increased.
She can eat 3/4 of a mashed pear or 2 tabelspoons of mashed potato/carrots etc. Is this a lot or just right?

Answer

Idk how much the mashed pear makes. But mine eats about 2oz of a fruit or veggie puree for lunch and then 2 tbsp of oatmeal, 1 tsp peanut butter, and 1 tbsp of fruits and veggie puree for dinner. I'd just follow your babies hunger signs as you said you are.

Answer

While it sounds like you’re doing purées here, I’d say take a look at Feeding Littles, Mama Knows Nutrition, and New Ways Nutrition on Instagram. It’ll give you an understanding on food and portion sizes. Sooo helpful in the long run! Totally recommend this info. 
As for the purées, I’d guess about 2 oz would be appropriate. If you are really questioning it, you could ask your pediatrician.

Answer

I only serve 2Tbsp of any solid as this is a serving size for their age but my LG could eat more if I offered it. I’m just afraid he’d vomit xD the BM is more important.

Answer

I read that 2oz is the maximum, since they still should be drinking the same amount of breastmilk/ formula as always, so they should eat mostly for exploring and playing and tasting. I nurse my baby, and then offer him a bit of solids afterwards so he isn’t starving and ruining his milk appetite. But he still wants to eat and eat 😂 I have to cut him off and he cries. I think he could eat a whole banana and still be searching for more. But he’s also very big: a bit over 10kg/ 23 pounds, and wearing 12-18 month size clothing.
