How much food for 7 month baby

I have recently started weaning my 7 month old. He is a big boy and loves his food. I cook all his meals at the weekend & freeze them for the week ahead.
I'm not sure what portion sizes he should be having??
How much puree/mash should he be eating??

I am presently giving him
7am / Waking - Bottle
8.30am - breakfast (baby porridge, weetabix....)
12pm - lunch (puree food & yogurt)
2.30pm - Bottle
5.30pm - Dinner (Puree & fruit)
7.30pm - Bottle & Bed!

Always something :-) The concern over amount eaten was why I decided to do a mix of finger food and mashed stuff - fruit and snacks mostly finger food, meals mainly mashed - DS is a food monster now :-) Except broccoli and advocado - spits right out!

I also wouldn't limit yet if you see what I mean - prepare as much as he takes :-) he'll stop when full!

And carry on enjoying it - then he will too ::-)

What gets me is what to do if he refuses something - I always give him something else but aware that this may become a bad habit and we'll end up only blueberies and rice cakes or something for months on end :-)

Fat legs are cute before 18 months old in my humble opinion ;/)

Fat legs are totally cute! Maybe not on me, at my age, but he can get away with it!

I don't tend to offer anything else. Unless he rejects it all which rarely happens. But you're right - I should just enjoy it

Absolutely :-)
