I have a quesiton about my 8 month old son.?

Question

Other than breastmilk how many food meals should he have in a day. I was thinking 3 meals but I do not know if that is too much food.

Answer 1

since my daughter was 7 months old she has had three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner with all her bottles and two very small snacks. babies will not over eat, when they are done they will let you know.  

Answer 2

by the time my daughter was 8 months old (breastfed) i gave her cereal in the morning, nursed her. she slept.  then lunch time i gave her 2 cubes of homemade pureed veggies, 2 cubes of homemade pureed fruit, then nursed her. she slept, then suppertime, she had the same as lunch but i added 1 cube of pureed meat and then i nursed her. she slept, woke up had cereal again and nursed her and shes out for the night.  she still follows this schedule and she is gaining perfectly.

i make my own baby food, by steaming fruits, veggies and boiling meat, then i puree it in a food chopper, put them in ice cube trays and freeze it.  so she is eating 4 times a day plus i breastfeed her.   i hope this helps you.  if you're still unsure, visit a nutritionist, they are tons of help.  good luck mommy.

Answer 3

My daughter wil be 8 mo tomorrow. seh has 3 meals a day plus her bottles  

Answer 4

my routine is similar to beth's mom. the difference for me is my daughter is on formula and i feed her gerber foods. the only thing i don't do is the cereal at night. she gets a bottle before bed. she gets in 2-3 naps in a day.  

Answer 5

Since my 8 month old was 7 months she's been eating three meals, and snacks a day.  She only eats 3 bottles a day.  She eats table food, and gets water with her meals in her sippy cup.

Answer 6

my 8 month old is doing 3 meals, plus 21-24 oz of formula per day.
