How much food does your 8 mo old for each meal?

Question

Last night I fed my daughter about 2 tbsp of rice cereal, 1/2 a container of 1st foods peaches, and about a 1/3 of 1st foods green beans. She cried when it was all gone so i gave her about 1/2 a container of 1st foods applesauce. She kept opening her mouth for each bite. She actually slept better last night, she only woke up once. She usually wakes up 2-3 times. I kind of suspected that she wasn't getting enough to eat during the day. Is this too much to feed her? How much does your 8 mo old eat?

Answer 4

Alyssa is 8 months... (nearly 9, couple more days). She can eat a whole stage 2 gerber food AND a handful of cheerios or gerber puffs AND eat some of our dinner and her little mouth will keep opening.

Usually we don't do gerber food though, we just do yogurt and cheese slices and toast and meat and noodles and stuff during the day... steamed veggies with dinner and if I have veggies with lunch she gets some of those... she usually gets a piece of fruit every day... I buy one of everything at the grocery store and just slice it up for her to knaw on. Well, one of all the softer fruits... I have a pear in my fridge for her but I'd have to bake it for it to be soft, and well, I will probably just end up eating it at this point... :(
