My pedi told us to offer until he doesn't want anymore, but I'm nervous of how much he would actually eat! So now I try to offer until I feel like he's losing interest (not opening his mouth as fast, getting a bit distracted). Or I'll give him to spoon to play with and see if that settles him down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much#post-780186 Tue, 14 May 2013 09:54:26 +0000 winniebee 780186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just fed LO until it seemed like he didn't want any more. Around 6 months I offered 3 meals a day - breakfast was oatmeal w/ formula, lunch was puree of fruit, dinner was veggie. He probably took 2 oz each sitting (sometimes less, sometimes more) and still had about 25 oz of formula a day. I didn't really start table foods at 7 months and wasn't really enthusiastic about table foods until 8.5 months or so when he could feed himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much#post-780161 Tue, 14 May 2013 09:47:05 +0000 Weagle 780161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always just fed LO until she wouldn't eat anymore or got disinterested. But for the first 3-4 months of solids, she rarely ate more than 2ish oz at a meal. Maybe offer solids 3x/day? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much#post-780136 Tue, 14 May 2013 09:41:52 +0000 mrsjyw 780136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A is a week shy of 6 months and we started solids a few days ago.</p> <p>A few weeks ago we gave him an apple slice to gnaw on for teething. But we're both a bit nervous of 100% BLW, so this past wknd we started with some purees.</p> <p>So far he's tried sweet potato, banana, and carrots. LOVES IT ALL.</p> <p>We've only done one meal right before his bath/bedtime nursing session.</p> <p>first day he had about 1.5-2 oz, second day he had some bananas in the AM and about 2 oz. of puree at dinner time, and last night he had at least 2.5 oz.</p> <p>he keeps grunting for more!!! i am going slow just so i can ease into his digestive system changing to solid foods, but how much is enough without "overfeeding"? for a six month old?</p> <p>(He still takes in ~30 oz of BM) </p>
