How much to feed a 10month old?

Hi,

I wonder how much (jar food) do you feed a 10month old baby? 4oz or 8oz.

depends on how much milk the baby is drinking, and whether or not the "jar food" is the main portion of the meal or just a supplement. by 10 mths, the baby should be drinking about 15-20oz a milk a day.

My 10.5 month old baby is probably getting about 16-18oz of breast milk a day approximately in about 4-5 feedings. It's hard to gauge exactly how much her breast milk intake is. She gets 3 solid meals plus one snack in the afternoon. Each portion of food is about 3-4 oz. She's not a very big eater, but she is very satisfied with this amount of food. I would never make her finish a 4oz portion if she didn't want to. But if she finishes her food and still seems hungry, I give her some fruit like banana or some yogurt after her meal.
