My lil man is 5 months and has been eating the baby jars for a while now. At the min he has 4 bottles of 8oz a day and 1 jar of food. i am not sure if i should be giving him more food and less milk?

He is having plenty milk on its own anyway. I wouldnt worry about giving more solids as they dont need it til later. He sounds like a good feeder!

My Anna has never taken more than 27oz in the one day!! Your LO is doing great!

You can slowly increase the amount of food after 6 months and offer it up to 3 times a day and dont decrease the milk - just let LO take what he wants and you will notice him dropping it himself.

A whole jar on its own is a huge amount for even a 7month old!
