His weight is between the 10-25th percentile for his age which is normal. As a guideline for a 6-8 month old child should eat the following: Breast-milk or Formula (6-8oz) 3-5 feedings a day. Starch 2 feedings a day – Infant Cereal (2-4 Tbsp), Crackers (2). Fruits or Vegetables 1-2 feedings a day – (3-4 Tbsp), Stained meats 1-2 feedings a day (1-2 Tbsp). Suggest giving him yogurt, cottage cheese, and strained meat/chicken for calcium and protein to supplement the infant formula he is not taking in. Suggest giving him the infant formula in a ‘sippy’ cup and see if he will accept it in that manner. Hoped this helped you.
