Hi,

My son' s 6 and half months old. He eats nachani porridge, moong dal-rice khimti, apples, rawa kheer, formula twice, sometimes veg soup...

My only concern is that I dont know how much he should be taking. His appetite varies. Sometimes he takes a bowl full, sometimes he has two bowl fulls.

DO i need to calculate the ounces and quantity? What is the recommended food intake?

Regards,

Not sure how many times are u feeding (breastfeeding/formula feeding) ur baby. WHO recommends that u should be primarily giving milk to the baby till he is 9 months old.
Generally here is the schedule i follow for my 6.5 months old and he is doing great..
7:00 bf
8:00 mashed fruit/veggies (no sugar or salt added)
11:00 formula (around 7oz)
12:00 cereal (5 scoops of rice or wheat cereal)
3:00 formula (around 5-6oz)
7:00 bf (this is after his bath)
10:00 a dream feed of formula around 5-60z

So u see that majorly his daily diet contains milk with solids given one hour after a milk feed. That way solid intake is not much but keeps him full till the next feed.
