how much does your 6-7 month old eat?

DD takes four 7oz bottles + a bowl of cereal, a bowl of cereal w/ baby food in it, & 1 whole baby food container. lately she's been waking up around 9-10pm hungry.

just wondering what to increase -- formula, cereal, baby food, or add some table food? what's everyone else doing?

Re: how much does your 6-7 month old eat?

  • i've got a peanut of a 7 mos old. she'll be weighed this weekend, but she's probably around 14 lbs.

    she gets 2-3oz of purees 3x a day (full stage 1 jar or half or so of a stage 2). we stopped oatmeal and rice cereals since it was constipating to her. she gets 12 oz bm during the daycare day and nurses 4 times with me (so no idea what she gets then). i toss her a teething cookie bar thing while we eat dinner, but i dount she gets much from that. 

    last night she polished off the entire stage 2 jar i opened. 

  • brooke is 20lbs and eats 5, 6.5 oz bottles and 3tbsp of oatmeal and half jar of fruit and then half jar of veggie

  • we went to the ped on friday.  he wants the boys to have 3 meals a day.  first and last are cereal with fruit, the middle is cereal with veggie.  they get about 4 tablespoons of cereal about 2 oz of fruit/veggie at a serving. 

    they also get a bottle with the meal.  they're still eating every 3 hours except at night.  they eat about 5-7 oz per bottle.

    proof that i make babies. jack, grace, and ben, in no particular order

  • my son eats cereal and 2/3oz of fruit with 5oz bottle for breakfast

    my LO is a little older than yours but this is basically what he has been eating for the past 2 months.  we started lunch/yogurt at 6mths, started with 2oz with fruit but recently upped it to 4oz.
