Question for mom's of 7 month olds (or BTDT)

When did you start giving DC a full jar of food?

DS will be 7 months on Wed.
Im still giving him 1/2 a jar (stage 2) at all meals. He gets cereal with breakfast and dinner.
Is this enough or can I increase to full jars.
I should have asked the ped. last week and I totally forgot

TIA for your help.

You can go to a full jar. Just let DS tell you when he's full.

totally up to u.....all DCs are different....do u think DC is still hungry? def nothing wrong with increasing his food intake- as long as u keep the bottle or the BFing going...

thats how i always worked it- as long as hannah would still BF before naps and bedtime, then i wasnt feeding her too much....bc obviously breast and formula is still best at that age....i would worry about weaning and food amount more when he is about 10 months old...thats when i took one breastfeeding session away from DD and in turn she ate a little more.....a few weeks later i took another one away......blah blah blah, and was weaned and eating her butt off at 1 year!

does this help??

Just this week she started eating two full Stage 2 jars in addition to some cereal. One for breakfast and one for afternoon snack. (She's 7.5 months)

For dinner, she'll only eat about 1/2 a jar and about 3 tbsps of cereal.

Whenever the 1/2 jar doesn't fill him up anymore. Steven at a full jar of stage two at around 5 months. He's a pretty big eater. Now he eats almost a full jar of stage 3. Or a whole bowl (baby bowl) of pasta or whatever I put in it

TY ladies.
He seems to always want more of the fruit and veggies.

I may start giving him a full jar of veggies at lunch (no cereal) and leave 1/2 jars and cereal for breakfast and dinner.
I will see how it goes.

TY so much again.
