how much of each food group

[ButterCup17]

I know I've seen this on here before but can't find it now...at 8 months, how many servings of each food group should he eat per day?

Also- what about water? When do u need to start giving that regularly?

The guide from my little girl's pediatrician says:

For all the things listed below, 1 serving is considered to be 1-2 tablespoons.

8-10 months:

Cereals/breads 2-3 servings per day
Fruits 1-2 servings per day
Vegetables 1-2 servings per day
Protein foods (meat, egg, yogurt, cheese, beans etc) 2 servings per day

As for water, I started having a sippy cup with water available throughout the day around 6-7 months. I think she would have around 4 oz a day back then. Now at 10 months old she probably has 8-9 oz of water a day.
