My daughter will be 7 months next week. She is a good eater. I give her cereal (about 4 tbsp mixed with milk) for breakfast and dinner and veggies and fruit (sometimes meat...still introducing new foods) for lunch (about 3-4tbsp). She has milk (breastfeeding) 5 times a day including one feed during the night, but often wakes up a second time during the night wanting more milk, which I try to hold off. If I feed her after 4am, I don't give her milk at 7am as I otherwise would so she only has milk 5 times a day. Is it possible that she needs more solids to eat during the day? I usually give her solids 1/2 hr to 1 hr before milk so that she drinks milk. So she has milk at 7, 11, 3, 7 and once during the night, usually between 12 and 3. And she has solids at 10, 2, and 6 or within a half hr of those times. I think she would eat more solids if I offered, but I don't want to over feed her so that she is not hungry for milk.
Also, when do they start needing water to drink?
