DD is 6 months 3 weeks old. I waited to start solids with her until 6 months due to her dairy/soy allergy and reflux. I tried dairy/soy free oatmeal cereal for a week; however, she did not tolerate it well. Her pediatrician/pediatric GI said to stop cereal and just start on baby food. She has been eating baby food once a day for 6 days now. However, I am wondering if she is getting enough food. She seems kind of fussy a bit after she eats when she should be full and ready to play.
She drains all 8 oz. in her first three bottles of the day. When she eats her last bottle, it has only been 2-3 hours since prior feed (instead of the usual 4 hours apart), so she usually takes about 6 oz (so that's about 30 oz. milk in a day). She eats about half of a 4.25 oz baby food jar an hour after her first milk feed in the morning.
I know when babies start draining bottles that you should increase the amount you are offering; however, I thought 8 oz was where you topped off with a bottle at one time. I then considered offering a second baby food feeding after second bottle, but did not know how long I was supposed to hold at one feeding since I've only just started solids 6 days ago. What do you guys think? Any advice on where to go from here?
