8 months and up feeding question

Antonio has sort of decreased the amount of food he is taking in and I was curious to hear what the other babies are eating.

In a 24 hour period he will eat:
18 oz of formula(3 6 oz bottles)
1 bowl of cereal with fruit
1 stage 2 jar of whatever

I try to feed him more and he will not take it.

What is your baby's schedule like?

Thanks

Re: 8 months and up feeding question

my DD is 7 months & 1 week, but i'll share her schedule anyway

5 oz bottle first thing in the am (around 4am)
3 tbsp cereal with 1 container fruit (bfast)
5 oz bottle
1 fruit & 1 veggie (lunch)
5 oz bottle
3 tbsp cereal with 1 container veggie (dinner)
Snack (cookie or piece of apple)
5 oz bottle

this is all give or take a bottle -- sometimes she likes an extra during the wee hours.

HTH somewhat



eta: i just re-read your original post -- has this change been sudden?

Re: 8 months and up feeding question

My babies eat about 4 or 5 bottles a day.
Breakfast they get cereal and a stage 2 fruit.
Lunch they get a stage 2 veggie.
And for now dinner is pretty much the same as breakfast.
They would eat and eat and eat if I let them though!

Bella is 8 1/2 months old and she is starting to eat a bit less as well...but she still eats a lot...
(we just started the schedule yesterday, before that it was cereal 2x a day with either a fruit of veggie and dinner was meat/veggie and a yogurt)

7 am--6 oz bottle

11am--
4-5 tablespoons of cereal
1 Full jar of Stage 2 fruit
5-6 oz bottle

3 pm--
1 Yo Baby Yogurt
1 Full Jar of Stage 2 veggies
5-6 oz bottle

7 pm--
Stage 3 meat/veggie
1 jar Fruit
5-6 oz bottle

She has started not finishing every little drop, but she still eats about 75-85 percent of everything when she doesn't finish.

Re: 8 months and up feeding question

hmmm...it does seem that he is eating less than others.

I don't know it has been a gradual decline. However sometimes even the food I posted he rejects.

I guess it could be teething,he really does not enjoy eating he cries sometimes when he sees the spoon. It's wierd.

At one point he wos eating 3 solids a day...now only two. Some days he will go from 11 am till 5 with nothing!
