Hi again - the info below is cut and pasted from babycenter.com - I think it's good for a rough idea, but I think we deviate from this a bit - I think my LO eats a bit more (she is 98th percentile for height) and as I mentioned, is eating mostly table foods now. I really like our Dr. and he says a mother's intuition and ability to know and read her baby's signs is more valuable and reliable than any chart he could give - as long as they keep gaining and stay on their growth curve. I'm sure you're doing great and she's getting what she needs - if it seems like she wants more, maybe try giving her a bit more and see? I remember thinking that my LO would keep eating as long as I fed her! My Dr. also said you don't have to worry too much about not feeding enough solids as they will make up in BFs what they need, and that at this time it is more about learning how to eat, and introducing the foods and new textures so they have an easier transition when weaning.
Are you doing any finger foods? We started with finger foods a little early (around 8 months rather than waiting until 9) as it seemed that she was interested in what we were eating more and more and enjoyed having tastes from whatever it was. We introduced purees a bit early - around 5 months for the same reasons - she would sit with us while we ate and she was fascinated and would not take her eyes off our plates - she'd watch the fork go from plate to mouth to plate regardless of what toys we gave her - just seemed like the right time and she took to it right away with both.
Hope this helps!
