Re: feeding schedule

If you figure out the answer let me know! LOL! I have the same question. We are currently feeding our son lunch and dinner of veggies or fruits with on demand breastfeeding/bottle feeding. I would guess around 16 to 20 oz of milk and room for about a 1/4 cup of fruit & veggies 2x's per day.

Re: feeding schedule

I often wonder the same thing. I feel like he eats alot! My son is also 8 months old and he drinks about 32 oz of formula a day, oatmeal for breakfast, and fruits and veggies and yogurt for lunch and dinner. He hates the meat and spits it all over the place. I plan on asking his pediatrician at his 9 month checkup what he should be eating but let me know what you find out.

Re: feeding schedule

My son is almost 8 months. He is a really good eater, on top of breast milk.

This is a typical day: (I don't feed him on the clock. The times listed, are to give you an idea.)

6:00 am Breast Milk (difficult to know the amount, but I do not have a lot of milk)

8:00 am Fruit & Cereal (about 3 oz)

10:00 am Breast Milk (1 or 2 oz) and/or 1/2 Baby Yogurt (about 2 oz) depending if he naps. usually 30 minutes (who sleeps, do not eats!!!)

12:00 pm Veggie & Meat or Eggs & Spinach (puree or tiny small bites) (about 3 to 3.5 oz)

2:00 pm baby snacks finger food (puffs, yogurt melts...) (about 10 to 15 pieces) if we go to the pool...

3:00 pm Breast Milk before napping (probably 1 or 2 oz) it only takes 2 minutes not even.... He usually sleeps for 1.5 hour or little more.

4:30 pm 1/2 baby yogurt (about 2oz)

7:30 pm Veggie & Meat or Fruit (about 3 to 3.5 oz)

8:30 pm and once during the night Breast Milk (?oz)

According to my doctor my feeding schedule is great, but I'm worried about my servings, it is too much???? He always wants to eat and asks for more...

What are the appropriate servings for a baby of 8 months??? Does anyone know??? in ounces please....

Re: feeding schedule

You know the feeding schedule is hard to stay on track. Sometimes i want to get off of work and give him a bottle and go to sleep

Re: feeding schedule

Can't help you on the feeding schedule (I fed mine on demand and never checked the clock), and the amounts vary from child to child, so your pediatrician would be a better source for amounts based on your child's weight and size. However, I can tell you that the chances that he's having too much milk are unlikely. Prior to age 1, the bulk of baby's calories come from breast milk or formula, though you can certainly increase the amounts of solids as baby asks for them. At 6 months (or sooner if they seem to be wanting them) solids are just so they can acclimate themselves to them and to gumming, etc. It's only been 2 months (or a little more) so I wouldn't stress about him not getting enough of them. As long as he's getting them more than once per day and that you introduce different foods regularly (helps increase their taste for different things as they grow up) you should be fine. This is also a good time to try mesh feeders. They usually have a handle and you can put pieces of apples, bananas, peaches, avocado, etc. The mesh will prevent chocking and the gumming will help him progress in textures. You can also put these foods in the freezer prior to putting them in the feeder on the weeks when teething bothers him.

Re: feeding schedule

Let him drink as much breastmilk as he wants and you can produce, that is where he gets all his nutrients for the first year. I just nursed on demand. My babies have all been on the small side so I have just been concerned on feeding a balanced diet after they started solids. Watch your baby and take cues from him.
