how many jars of baby food does your DC take at 6 months
Maybe my DD is in a growth spurt but she is waking at 12 and 445 each night and taking 8 oz..i am currently giving 2-3 jars of baby food a day , was doing cereal (oatmeal bc of fiber) but even mixed with pears she was constipated...ugh! Just wondering how much i should be feeding her

Re: how many jars of baby food does your DC take at 6 months
My DD Emerson has four 6 oz. bottles a day. (She sleeps through the night but even if she wakes up on occasion I don't feed her) Her solids are as follows:
Breakfast - 2 tbs. fruit, 2 tbs. yogurt, 2 tbs. cereal mixed with formula
Lunch - 2 tbs. cereal, 2 tbs. veggie
Dinner - 2 tbs. veggie, 2 tbs. fruit
I've been adding table food to these meals now for the past few weeks so she also gets a slice of cheese with her meals or sometimes for dinner she'll just eat a little of what we're eating like pasta or chicken. Emerson will be 9 months old on the 19th but at 6 months old she was pretty much on this same feeding schedule. The only difference now is all the table food additions.

Re: how many jars of baby food does your DC take at 6 months
This is my DS' schedule (6.5 months):
Wake up: 6-7oz bottle Mid-morning/late morning: 6oz bottle and a jar of fruit Mid-afternoon: 6oz bottle Evening: 1/4 cup cereal mixed with formula/BM and a jar of veggies Bedtime: 6oz bottle
We are about to move to Stage 2 foods, which will be three meals a day...I feel like he will be eating all day

Re: how many jars of baby food does your DC take at 6 months
LOL, thanks! She is really taking the teething process horribly too so i think that wakes her but she drains bottles! She is also still on Neocate formula for severe milk allergy, GI doc told me i could start her back on hypoallerg formula, maybe it will be a little thicker and hold her more...ugh..she took 4tbsps of oatmeal with 1 oz fruit and a half jar of sweet potatoes and i think i am going to do carrots before bed around 5...plus, DD is not napping at all during the day anymore, very strange! Just 30 minute cats 2 times a day and maybe a 45 min one if she decides to start the day at 5am!!! I am hoping this is all growing pains but i am awful at letting her CIO and last night she was screaming and draining bottles..i really wonder if that really broken down stuff just isnt holding her anymore!!!! Heres hoping the allergy is gone!

Re: how many jars of baby food does your DC take at 6 months
At 6 months DS was getting 2 jars a day. I guess every ped recommends something different but ours had us doing cereal 2 X a day and a fruit/veggie 2 X day. He gets approx 4-5 bottles a day as well.

Re: how many jars of baby food does your DC take at 6 months
Well, i have a nanny and she pretty much writes it all down but it seems like she takes about 32 ounces total before bed.. She might just need more food too..she is on neocate, it is very thin and she seems to really wolf it down sometimes..almost like it is not alot..She takes 8oz when she wakes and 8 oz before bed..inbetween she can take a few 6 ozs or about 8 oz usually 2 xtra times..so, around 32 total... She is 28inches long and 18.5 lbs..BIG GIRL, lol

Re: how many jars of baby food does your DC take at 6 months
DD takes 4 7.5 oz bottles and three meals. I do the cubes, but its two cubes usually per meal..I would say its like a jar per feeding.
