What are your seven month olds eating? DD was never a big eater. She has abot 20-24 ounces of formula a day along with 1 fruit in the a.m. and 1 vegetable in the p.m. She has reflux so she gets 1 tablespoon for every 2 ounces of formula. The cereal goes in her bottle. The past few days she hasn't been drinking much formula, she has been eating food. She seems to just want to bite on the nipple. She has her two bottom teeth. I'm thinging her two tops might be coming in. Any suggestions?? Has anyone's baby not eat as much when they were teething??

My 7 month old is eating everything. During the day she normally eats 3 GOOD sized bowls of baby oatmeal mixed with baby chicken and rice, veggies, or something else. Along with that she drinks about 24 oz of formula. And.. every once in a while she'll get a french fry, or a peice of bread or something. The girl LOVES to eat. She doesn't have any teeth yet, but she's starting to bite the nipple, and hardly drink anything. She just wants the spoon!

My dd eats five 6 oz. bottles a day of formula...for breakfast she eats a stage 2 container of some type of baby fruit and a bottle, and for dinner she eats a scoop and a half of rice cereal and a stage 2 container of some type of veggie and her bottle. She has her 2 bottom teeth also. When she was getting them both in(both came in within a week) she was waking up at night, not wanting to go to sleep, not wanting to eat hardly anything....and after they both broke through she has been fine for the most part, eating normally and sleeping great. But some days she just eats less than others, she'll have a day here and there where we'll only be able to get maybe 22 oz of formula in her and not even half her baby food and cereal...but the dr. said as long as she's drinking 24 oz. of formula pretty much every day she should be fine. Have you tried Orajel for the teething? I have heard a lot of people say their baby hated it, but my dd doesn't mind it. She makes a face at the taste, but then she's fine.

Hi! My daughter eats about 25-30 ounces of formula a day and half a cup of cereal and 2 tablespoons of fruit in the morning, a couple of tablespoons of cereal and fruit or veggie for lunch, then a jar of veggies or fruit and half a cup of cereal for dinner with bottles throughout the day. Does that seem like a lot?

Ry.. no that doesn't seem like a lot at all. If that's a lot, my daughter's a pig!!, and she's still petite!
