How much does your baby eat?

Im quite curious to know how much others babies eat....

My boy is such a hungy little boy, and I wonder if it is really out of the ordinary, or if other have the same. He started on solids at about 4.5 - 5 months and now is eating 3 big meals a day....especially compared to what others seem to be eating at the same age    He will easily eat 5-6 ice cubes of veges and then may even have half a banana after that. He doesn't seem to be a big fan of breast milk anymore, but I am still perservering and trying to make him drink for 5 or so minutes at each side....obviously I cant force him, but I keep "it out" for him while he wriggles and jiggles etc.
I give him a bottle of formula at night (about 10:30pmish) and he will drink 260mls    He isn't chucking any of it up and is still really hungry when he wakes in the morning at about 6 or 7ish.

Im not really worried because he is really happy baby so no need to worry really. Im more curious if this is perhaps a boy thing or if some babies just have a really big appitite.

Oh and he isn't worried about what he is being fed either. He puts a funny face on for the first spoonful for a new food, and is then right into it!

LOL he is eating more than my wee girl!

He might be really efficient on the boob, but I also wonder if your supply is not what it was?

Reading your post reminded me of a friend whose baby was eating heaps at that age, and her baby was doing rabbit style poos - she suspected her supply was an issue, but plunket just told her to carry on bfing. I'm sure you are fine, but maybe watch his poos to make sure he is getting enough fluid.

Sounds like he has a great appetite!! Drew is also 6 months and still hasnt really taken to solids.  I pop him in his highchair twice a day for food but most of the time he will only eat a few spoonfuls, and have a bit of a chew on a ruck and a sip or 2 of water.  I am perservering in the hope he will find his appetite soon!!  Doesnt sound out of the ordinary to me, hopefully he will keep enjoying his food!

Thanks for your replys.
Caro07 - He still isn't the best sleeper :o( but maybe thats the downside of having a hungry baby.

He is pretty regular...like he poos at least twice a day...kind of like a dumpling (sorry TMI :-) ) Occasionally it goes a bit pebble like and so I lay off the bananas and try to encourage the water in the sippy cup. it doesnt' seem to bother him at all.

I guess he is just a big eater. I hate to think of our food bill when he is a teenager...especially if he carries on like this!!!
