Mommas with babies around 8mos: how much and how often do they eat?
Mommas with babies around 8mos: how much and how often do they eat?
Isabelle eats 6oz every 3hours. On days that we don't do food, that's 5-6 bottles a day (she usually sleeps thru the night). Not gonna lie, it's expensive and exhausting lmao. I feel like she's just constantly eating!
This morning I tried bumping her to 7oz to see how long she'd last, but it was maybe only 15 minutes more (which made for literally a 12 minute nap...ugh).

My baby is breast fed so I'm not sure exactly but we eat table foods 3x a day with maybe 2 snacks inbetween. She still drinks from me every 2-3 hours though.

My daughter eats anywhere from 40-50 oz and is such a peanut! Lol. I am working into giving her more solids, but slowly because she gets constipated fast. So I try 1-2x a day and am working up to 3-4x a day. She still eats pretty much the same amount of bottles though. Usually I'll do a couple 4 oz bottles throughout the day as "snack size" like with solids. That usually keeps her the fullest. My wic got cut down as she got older (which makes no sense but yea) so I hear you. I try to save as much as possible by finding coupons, getting formula checks, and buying when they're a promo. It's so hard girl I feel ur struggle !!

@ashleydunn @bria thank you ladies! I feel like we're a bit more normal now lol. My niece is 10mos and eats 8oz every 7 hours so I felt like she was just weird or something lol. I usually do baby food once a day, and then none at all about 2 days a week bc she gets constipated easily. When she eats baby food she won't take a bottle bc she gets full but she still goes about 3 hours.

Crazy how every baby is so different, but thanks for letting me know how you do the baby food I might try that like skipping a day, because my daughter was so constipated last weekend I took her to the er 😑

They are not supposed to have any more than 32 oz a day

@scurlock.mommy, we actually don't do baby food at all! We went straight to table foods. I started with once a day then slowly increased it. She's such a little chunk and loves to eat.

@ashleydunn what did you start with? I'll probably introduce them in the next month or so. The only "solid" food she gets at the moment is the rice flour teething cookies bc they melt in her mouth but she's gotten the hang of chewing with them too!

@scurlock.mommy, my baby actually has no teeth. We started with steamy veggies. Carrots and green beans. Then I would give her meat cut into small squares like pork chops hamburger and chicken. You'd be amazed at how much they can chew with no teeth. We also do Cheerios as snack and baby oatmeal or regular oatmeal. The only thing we are avoiding are eggs (oldest was allergic until3), dairy (has problems with it) and honey
