    My guys are almost 10 months. I am feeding them 3 jars at lunch and 4-5 jars at dinner. Is this too much? Not enough?

    as long as they are hungry and not throwing up afterward ( :lol: ), i'd say it's ok. i think they will let you know if they are full!
    do you give them any table foods yet? that might save you a little money and start getting them mor einto some different textures, etc.

    They'll definitely let you know when they are full.

    Are you doing stage 3 jars, or stage 2? If they are stage 2 jars that is normal.

    Mine just turn their heads when they are finished. Or, they just stop eating what is on their tray.

    I have 10 month olds too. Is it normal to do that amount if that is all they are eating? Or is it ok to do that amount with cereal also?

    As long as they are still getting the amount of formula or breastmilk they need, they should be able to let you know when they are full. The only problem that would arise would be if they were eating solids instead of getting formula/breastmilk because solids don't have all the things as they need for their growing bodies and brain. Sounds like you have good eaters!

    my guys are on all table food since about 3 weeks ago. They would cry when I would try and give them baby food...I was giving them baby food and then some table food and they would cry until I got to the table food so we ditched the baby food.

    My guys are younger than yours but they can eat a surprising amount too! They still drink 28 oz. of formula per day though (plus a few oz. in their cereal) so I'm going to sweat it. They're 21 lbs each (very tall like my husband and I) so I guess they need a lot to sustain them.
