My ds is often still hungry after I've fed him and I'm not too sure just how much I should be feeding him at this age?
If I gave him jars then he would have a full 4 month size savoury jar and a 4 month jar of fruit for pudding for lunch and tea.
With homemade purees it's hard to say what he's having as the size of ice cubes varies hugely. With my really large ice cubes then he has 4-5 per course, so 4-5 savoury and 4-5 sweet for one meal (for more standard size cubes it would be a good 6 cubes per course, maybe more).
One reason I'm using 4 month jars (for when I go out) is because there aren't currently any 7 month jars that he can eat, as we've had a lot of food intolerance problems and are having to introduce new foods very slowly (he only had meat for the first time 3 days ago, for example).
What quantity do other people feed their 9 month olds?
He's approximately 21 lb weight, by the way, maybe more and has 3 x 7 oz bottles of milk during the day as well as 3 meals, although it's not uncommon for him to cry at the end of a bottle too, so that I sometimes have to go and get him another 4 oz or more.
When I weaned my dd (now 3 1/4) if she finished her food then next day I would prepare a larger quantity, so that I knew she had always had enough. However, with ds I'm a bit worried that he'd just eat and eat!
