Feeding:for 7-8months babies : shyla & trisha
2006-07-24
Name: Hetal



7–8 months Breast milk: 3–5 feedings, or on demand OR Iron-fortified formula: 3–5 feedings of 6–8 ounces each.
Infant cereal: 4–6 tablespoons
Infant juice: 2–4 ounces (from cup only)
Fruit: 1–2 tablespoons
Vegetables: 5–7 tablespoons
Meats: 1–2 tablespoons
Finger food: One small serving (toast, crackers, teething biscuits, plain dry cereal)
Start with single grain cereals: rice first, then oats and barley.
Wait until your baby is six months old to try other kinds of cereal.
Start by making the cereal thin, mix one tablespoon of dry cereal with 2–3 tablespoons of breast milk or iron-fortified formula.
As baby gets older, make it thicker, mix one tablespoon dry cereal with 2–3 tablespoons of breast milk or iron-fortified formula.

Meat Use plain, strained meats when starting. If meat is too thick, thin with breast milk, iron-fortified formula or meat juices.
Avoid meat and vegetable combinations or high protein meat dinners. atleast until 9months.
You can use cooked egg yolk,once your baby has completed 8months, but don't give egg whites until your baby is one year old.

Fruits and vegetables Start with pureed fruits and vegetables..slowly graduate them to finger foods.
Start with single, plain choices without tapioca added.
Don't serve fruit \";desserts.\"; from any baby good company.

Juice Offer juice from the cup, not the bottle.
Start with infant juice. Mix once ounce of water with one ounce of juice(after 8months). Gradually cut back the water until giving straight juice.,,thats at 1 year.
Start with single flavored juices. Wait until your baby is older to give mixed juices.
Use only 100% juice ( for babies below 1 year,mix fruit pulp:water = 1:4,or juice:water=1:4 or less for babies below 8months.,
never use flavored fruit drink such as Kool-aid, punch, or soda (pop).
To protect teeth and begin weaning, always offer juice from a cup.
To prevent choking, always hold your baby when feeding from a bottle.

Good Luck
