7 month old - how much should they be eating?

[Abz1982]

LO was big on food, now not so and currently he will have about 5 bottles - 4 6 oz and one 8 at night. He will have a small amount of porridge about 4 tablespoons in the morning. almost Half a 126g jar for lunch and a fruit pot - usually half, then had the other half of those for dinner.

Is that a lot or not? I seem to remember my daughter eating a LOT more!

He is a chubby monkey, but is always more into bottle than food.

Some babies won't even have started solids yet and he should be getting his nutrients from his milk until he's 1 anyway so I wouldn't worry about how much food he's eating just yet. It sounds like he's doing fine

My 7 month old eats lots more but if he is happy then don't worry. Just gradually increase hos food over time. Try some finger food as snacks perhaps? Like banana cut into strips or Toast..

Food before 1 is for fun! Don't worry about it, his appetite for solids will pick up over time. I would offer finger foods as pp suggested xx
