How much food should I be feeding my 4-month-old?

How much baby food should I be feeding my 4mos old? He is eating rice and oatmeal mixed with applesauce...thats the first baby food I started him out on. But I feel like he is always hungry and in the morning feeding and night feeding he eats a lot. Does anyone know of a certain measurement I should go by?

Hi,

At this age, breast milk or an iron fortified infant formula is the only food that your infant needs at this age and he should be nursing or drinking about 5-6 ounces 4-6 times each day (24-32 ounces).

Over the next month or two, you can start to familiarize your infant with the feel of a spoon and start solid baby foods.

well thats your opinion. my pediatrician gave the ok to use baby food, oatmeal, and rice cereal. so thank you. And just in case you didnt know...every baby is different.

I know this is a little off the question but you never feed more than one food at a time . what you do is your baby eats the same thing for a week to make sure they are not allergic to it then you try a diffrant thing the next week and so on it easier to tell what the babys allergic to. oh and my cousins like that too they add a little baby cerial to her milk hope this helps some.

why are you mixing rice and oatmeal? With applesauce... thats a little strange but if thats what he/she likes then more power to you. My daughter is nearly 3 months and honestly I feed her until shes not hungry... I usually feed her 3T of oatmeal mixed with a little formula(and afterwards )probably like 2-4 oz of formula...but im eventually going to start more oatmeal... basically until he/she is content. Thats what I would do personally.
