:thinkin
It's been so long since I've dealt with a baby and solids. Does this sound normal for a almost 10 month old? Should I be cutting back or adding more? I feel like I did when I had Anya for the first time again :nutts

That sounds good. Shit, he is eating less than Ellie and she is not even 8 months! :lol but she is a BIG eater! She out eats most of the 1 year olds we know :lmao

But I did just learn that you are supposed to cut back on formula as they get older. I will try and find a chart on it and post the link for you!

Thanks! He has only been on formula for a week now so it's all new to me again.

I cant find the chart :puzz But I do know that they are supposed to get anywhere between 24-32 ounces a day. it will vary between babies and what other foods they are eating. Dont force it on him, just go with the flow. Since he is eating table foods and jar food as well, he probably wont drink as much formula, but as long as he stays above 20 ounces, then he will be fine. Do you give him water or anything else during the day?

I have no idea since I don't have Miss K on an eating schedule at all.

Okay so I will add some more food in then. We have only been on formula for a week so this is all new. Before he was nursing on demand and I never paid attention to the times :giggle

Looks good to me :shrug

Trying to remember what I would feed Gabby then for solids :thinking

ETA: what about a bannana sliced up into small pieces? I think I mainly fed her the gerber toddler snacks besides the #3 jar foods.
