How much food/milk 8 month old?

Just wanting to know how much people are feeding their babies? And if this sounds right for my 8 month old:

8am: 6oz milk
10am: one weetabix with whole milk
12pm: equivalent of 125g jar
3pm: 7oz milk
5pm: up to equivalent of 200g jar
7pm: 9oz of milk

(I say equivalent of jar as sometimes I make it and sometimes she has a jar. Always savoury)

Throughout the day about 2oz if water.

That sounds about right, although I’d be introducing finger foods as a snack now too :)

Why no real food shes 8 months?!???

Mine is 8 months too. Today she had
7.30am bottle 6oz
8.30am breakfast: fruit yoghurt
10.30am bottle 5oz
12pm lunch: scrambled egg half a slice of toast finger foods
3pm bottle 5oz
5.30pm dinner: 100g jar of mango chicken curry, melon slices for pudding
7.30pm bottle 5oz (which she refused to drink and I ended up making into porridge with fruit puree)

I think yours sounds about right, do you offer foods they can feed themselves as well? We do a mix of both.

Interested in this thread?

She has finger food too with every meal. I just wanted to make sure she wasn't eating too much that I could actually record Smile

Your amounts sound about right to me. I have a one year old and usually offered some fruit or veg finger foods alongside lunch and dinner at that age.

@Jeeperscreepers69 we make food for her every day. I just wrote the equivalent of a jar to show what I meant. She has jars as a backup as we aren't allowed out atm so they are there when needed.
