Hmm you make me wonder if my DD is getting enough food.
I give her ..

Breakfast
Appox..3 tablespoons cereal then add formula
6 ounce bottle , 1/2 jar fruit

Lunch
6ounce bottle
1/2 jar vegies and 1/2 fruit

Dinner 1-2 tblspn meat 1/2 jar vegies
6 ounce bottle.

Then a 6 ounce bottle before bed .
Usually somewhere during the day another bottle and some juice.
She total about 28 ounce of formula
Of course if she still looks hungry I will feed her more fruit and vegies during each meal .

At 8 months old, DS was eating:

Breakfast - a bowl of cereal with a 8 oz bottle

Lunch - Stage 2 veggie & Stage 2 fruit

Between Lunch & Dinner - 8 oz bottle

Dinner - Stage 2 meat & Stage 2 fruit

Bedtime - 8 oz bottle

Re: just want to clarify (food related)

Hmmm let's see if I can remember what DS was eating at 8 months:

In the morning he was having 3 tbsp of cereal and a stage 2 fruit.

In the afternoon it was half a stage 2 jar of veggies and stage 1 meat jars. A stage 2 jar of fruit

In the evening it was 3 tbsp of cereal and a stage 2 fruit.

At 9 months I started the dinner jars. So at lunchtime he would get a stage 2 dinner jar and stage 2 fruit.

Now at 14 months, he no longer gets cereal in the evening. The morning is the same, the only little change is that he gets 5 tbsp of cereal instead of 3. Lunch is the stage 2 sometimes stage 3 dinner jar and stage 2 fruit. Dinner time is a bowl of pasta, and a whole banana later on, or the jars. I'm trying to wean him to table food in the evening. So it depends on where we are in the evening.

I don't know if my DD eats enough, although she never seems hungry.

She never drinks more than a 4 oz. bottle. She is almost 10 months old.

Breakfast: 1/4 cup cereal (after mixing with BM, it's a 1/4 cup) and 1/2 jar of stage 2 fruit with 3 oz. bottle

Snack: 4 oz. bottle & a handful of puffs

Lunch: 1/2 stage 2 veggie & 1/2 stage 2 fruit (or a yogurt with a little fruit) + water

Snack: 4 oz. bottle & a few animal crackers

Dinner: 1/2 stage 3 dinner & 1/2 stage 2 veggie & 3 oz. bottle
