How much do you feed your 9mo?

[LackingCommonSense]

DS has historically had half a jar of savoury, half a jar/pot of something sweet and some finger food at lunchtime and tea time but his appetite has increased all of a sudden! Just wondering how much food everyone else feeds their LO?

At 9 months dd had milk roughly an hour before food. She was on 3 meals a day and would have something like ready brek with chopped banana for breakfast. Ham sandwich with maybe some cucumber and a small yoghurt for lunch and then whatever we were having for tea.

If you are bfing the advice is to feed on demand and if you are ffing, its a minimum of 20floz of first stage milk a day until he's one.

I meant quantities of food.

my 7 mo will happily eat a huge bowl of porridge and finger foods at lunch and then a whole jar of baby food (or homemade equivalent) for tea and a yogurt or fruit pot. He would have a whole jar at lunch time too if I let him!!!! and is still on 4 7 oz bottles a day!! He's just got a big appetite, despite only being on 50th centile!

I used to give mine a full jar (I made my own meals, pureed them and stored them in the empty jars) of something savoury and a full jar of something sweet for dinner and tea. They had a full bowl of porridge, or a weetabix biscuit, made with formula for breakfast and supper. At around 7-8 months they started eating more solid food so I'd give them, for example, half a can of beans on a jacket spud; a toddler bowl of chili or curry; half a Young's fish pie; one of those small cans of spaghetti, ravioli or pasta on toast... and then a pudding such as yoghurt. I just feed them a portion and if they're still hungry then I offer them more. If they don't eat it then they don't get pudding.

Mine is

Oops sorry, mine is feeding himself (no jars) so it's hard to say but he will have a pot of porridge with fruit purée and some orange segments for breakfast, half a salmon fillet with a couple of carrot batons or florets if broccoli, followed by a petit filou and a few raspberries for lunch, a similar amount at dinner, then supper of baby rice. Plus occasionally a snack or 2 of a bit of baby friendly carrot cake or something like that. Some days he'll eat hardly anything though, what I've listed above is a good/average day.
