How much food should a 7 month old baby eat in one meal?
They go through growth spurts when they eat A LOT. Like an amazing amount of food. I recommend offering lots of veggies and proteins, and some fruits, and avoiding starches like potatoes and bread. Then let him eat all he wants whenever he wants. In future he will model your eating behavior, so soon you need to eat what you want him to eat in the same manner as you eat. They even observe your portion sizes and start to model those. The toddler I nannied would eat only 400 calories total one day, then consume about 1500 during growth spurts. It can vary a great deal. But also toddlers consume less than babies. At that 8 months to about eighteen months time they really do eat a lot. If you are worried your baby is overeating, offer more veggies.
