My 8 month old daughter is eating stage 2 baby foods. I have looked in my books for specific amounts on how much to feed her but the books only say take out only enough for what you will use. With a 4 oz jar I take out 10-15 baby spoonfuls of food which is about 1/2 the jar and then give her formula after wards. She seems happy and full and is gaining weight so I must be doing something right. Any suggestions from the moms here.

Mommy…LT asked:


When should I start my 4 1/2 month old on baby cereal? He’s now half breastmilk (I pump) fed and half formula fed. What age did you start your baby on cereal? And how do I go about starting him on it. What type or brand should I use? He now has 4 oz of breastmilk (or formula) about every 3 hours during the day, 4 hours at night. He’s gaining weight just fine on what he’s eating now, he’s more than 15 pounds.

Do I start with only the cereal, when do I start giving him the jar baby food?

Thanks for your suggestions and help.
