His weight is just below the 5th percentile and his height is on the 50th percentile for his age for a 6 month old infant. From what you are describing he is a very curious boy and does not have time to eat. Suggest feeding him 5-6 times a day (3 meals with snacks between meals) so he gets more food. 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). Fruits or Vegetables 1-2 feedings a day – (3-4 Tbsp). Hoped this helped you.

Please state your son's age so I can answer your question properly. Do you mean feeding him a bottle or food or both that he seems full? Thank you.
