I started Jack on solids just after he turned 4 months so hes been on them for nearly a month. My question is is there a limit to how much he should eat or should I let him eat as much as he wants? Because he eats a lot I think he would eat until there was no more food. Today I gave him 3 big ice cubes of food for lunch and a whole can of baby food for tea and he possibly could of eaten more. He has 5-6 breastfeeds a day as well. He weighs around 9kg by the way.
So should I give him a set amount or keep increasing until he wants no more? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I would put more on his plate and if he doesnt want it he will let you know.
Thats all the advice I have!! ------------- http://www.snugglepie.com">

I've started taine on solids, and am considering giving him two lots. He went to daycare today and they said he had a bottle at 9, another one at 11 another one at 1, and another at 3. At 200mls each, WOAH! I'll have a huge milk-filled fatty boy. Hopefully a growth spurt (up not out)
I think as long as the milk comes first and the solids help fill him up rather than the other way around at this stage, it's okay/ |

I let Joey dictate how much he eats and always have. He just stops when he has had enough (or starts mucking around) ------------- http://lilypie.com">
