So Josh had started rice cereals 3 weeks ago and some fruit puree about 2 weeks ago. Yesterday I started giving him some veggies.

So this is what his day looks like now:

7am : -5-6onz of formula
10am: 6-7 tea spoons of fruit puree + 2onz of formula
12:30: 5-6onz of formula
4pm: 10-12 tea spoons of rice cereals + 4onz of formula
7ishpm: 6-7 tea spoons of veggies + 4onz of formula
11pm: 4-5onz of formula

That's about 25ish onz of formula a day + some food
Is this too much or not enough? He doesn't drink as much formula as he used to since he eats 2-3 meals a day. Is this ok? When did you start giving more?

He would eat a whole jar of puree if I'd let him... He's a pig! Should I give him food until he doesn't want anymore though?

Ps: he seems to be growing and he's really chubby!

I started Dec on baby rice at 2 months but it was only a few spoons in the morning.
I didnt start other stuff until 3 1/2 months so I am not sure how much you should feed him.
HV did give me a telling of even for giving him rice that early.

When I first started giving Colton purees he ate the whole thing. I only gave him one a day, though. Right now he gets 1-2oz of cereal in the morning, 1/2 puree of fruit in the noon, 1/2 puree of veggies in the evening. He's abit older then josh though.
When he was getting the whole puree at once he would eat it, and then about 30min later he would have a whole bottle.
I dont know how many teaspoons equal one ounce but I'm sure he's eating good; and atleast he is getting a variety!

When you say 1/2 a puree, it's 1/2 a jar?
I think an oz is about 9-10 tea spoons.

MarchBaby

yes, it's 1/2 a jar. The jars are like 2-2.5oz, so he gets about half of that. Sometimes he acts like he will eat more, especially the fruits, but I want him to have his veggies too.
And with the 1/2 jar, he will also eat 4-5oz of formula. Then 5-6oz bottles between meals.

The recommendation in the UK / Ireland is not to wean until 6 months - unless you have to for reasons like reflux or a liquid diet no longer sustaining baby.... do you really wean that early in Canada?
