Food questions
Just wanting to know if I am feeding Sydney the right amount. She'll soon be 8 months. It is very hard to judge with her because she is such a fast eater that she'll act like she wants more because the food didnt even to make it to her tummy yet.
I have been giving her 4 bottles a day - about 22 ounces and 3 stage 2s and some oatmeal. I have been trying to give her some "real food" and she doesnt seem to like it. Tonight we tried Pastina for the first time.
How much do other 8 months old and when did your babies start liking table food?
TIA

DD is 8 months also and the amount is similar to ours. She doesn't like table food yet- actually SPIT out pastina at me! Will only take the meat that is mixed with a vegetable or fruit. She loves the biter biscuits and puffs too.

Re: Food questions
Erica, I dont know if I will be any help because Sara is a piggy . She loves to eat.
Breakfast: 4 tablespoons of oatmeal with 1 stage 2 fruit . I use a 5 ounce bottle for drinking and making her cereal
Lunch: 1 stage 2 veggie or meat meal followed by stage 1 fruit for dessert. She will then drink a 5 ounce bottle
Dinner : Same as breakfast
This varies day to day she sometimes has 3 bottles and sometimes 4. Her formula never totals more then20 ounces though in a day.
If she wakes up early she has 4 bottles in a day. If she wakes up late she only gets in 3 for the day.

Re: Food questions
I would say that there is no right amount, every baby is different and you just need to follow your babies food cues. Noah is almost 8 months old and he usually has no more than 5/6 bites of whatever it is that I am feeding him (unless its a Fruit Tumble Yogurt, than he will bogart the whole thing) Anyway, I try not to worry about how much he eats becase a) he is gaining weight regularly b) he never cries or lets me know that he is hungry c) I give him breadsticks and fingerfoods throughout the day, which he eats and c) you can take a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. Thats the philosophy that I use. He has 3/4 bottles a day, so as long as he has his milk feeds, he is doing fine!!!
