Small appetite baby

[rossimar]

My boy is 8 months old now. Weighted 17 pounds 6 ounces at his 7 months-old check-up.
I am a bit concerned as he really isn't eating much. He does not seem to like formula -drinking about 3 bottles of 4 ounces a day. I try to mix the rest of his formula with his purees. He eats 2 tbspoons of cereal, with 1 ice cube size portion of fruit and about 1.5 tbspoon of yogurt for breakfast. For lunch, he eats 1 ice cube size portion of veggies, half an ice cube size portion of meat, 1 ice cube size portion of fruit and about 1.5 tbspoon of yogurt. Dinner is about the same thing, but I usually add 2 tbspoons of cereal.

I always give him his bottle right before meals at at bedtime... but it is always a battle.
I am a bit concerned that he isn't getting enough.

I think hes doing okay, in a few weeks you can introduce some finger foods and snacks , start with cheerios , and a sippy cup, maybe up the quantity of cereal a bit , as he gets older they just love to pop the food in their mouths themselves,its a game , did you ask the Dcotor when he can stop the formula and go onto regular milk ?
