Meal amount

Okay today my baby's lunch was an avocado and carrot muffin I made, broken apart with lots of butter and 15 raspberries. Is this an appropriate meal amount?

That's maybe 2/3 of what my daughter would eat, and she's a BIG eater so I'd say that's probably perfect!

Talk to your pediatrician about how much breast milk/formula to make sure to give them each day. Then, just feed your kiddo until they aren't hungry. Our first kid ate an absurd amount (2 scrambled eggs as a snack with a literal quart of cubed roasted squash an hour later). Our second kiddo eats much less (e.g. he will do one egg as a meal with 4-6 oz.breast milk), but is still healthy -- steady on his weight curve. Babies eat hugely varying amounts.

@Lauren yes I'm trying to learn to gauge with this guy cause my first born was a bottomless pit.

My girl eats even a little less than this and I've been told it's fine. So long as we're offering 3 meals and she eats what she wants (+ still doing her formula bottles) 🙏🏻 I never know what's the right amount either lol
