Re: can you tell me what and how often your 8 month old eats?

DS is 12 months but here is what he was eating a few months ago.
Schedule was pretty much
Breakfast after his AM nap so around 11 (4 tbsp of cereal and ½ a cut up banana)
Lunch around 2pm - ½ a stage 3 dinner with a veggie, or some pastina in chic broth with chicken and carrots
Dinner around 6:30 or 7pm – whatever we were eating cut up or stuck in the food processor (not puree, just shredded)
Bottles He was taking 5 approx 30 oz total. - roughly every 3-4 hours

Around 8 months is when we started transition away from baby food. DS likes texture and chewing so I was trying to keep lunch as a baby food but wasn’t having much success.

Ryan is 8.5 months. This is his schedule when I'm at work (otherwise it's BF instead of bottle):

A.M. (7:30AM) - Nurse
8:30AM - 4-5TBSP cereal w/ 2 oz BM
1 Stage 2 jar fruit, cheerios & puffs
10:30AM - 5 oz BM bottle
12:30PM - yogurt or fruit
1:30PM - 6oz bottle
4:30PM - 6oz bottle
6:30PM - 4-5TBSP cereal, 1 Stage 2 dinner & puffs followed by 6oz bottle
8:30PM - nurse to bed

So, I guestimate about 30+ oz of BM (25 we know of in bottles/cereal plus 2 nursing sessions) and 3 meals a day.

I also give puffs in between meals.

DD is 8 months. I EBF and nurse her 4x a day. I've just been giving her solids for breakfast and dinner, but I think I'm going to add lunch now too. I gave her table food for the first time today...pancakes!

Our schedule is usually something like this:
6:30-7:00 BF
8-8:30 cereal with stage 2 fruit and puffs
BF after nap (around 10:30-11:00)
2:00ish BF
4:30-5:00 BF
5-5:30 cereal with stage 2 veggie and puffs

eta: I also give her 3-4 oz of water mixed with a splash of pear juice for constipation.
