M typically nurses early morning (3-5am) and again around 8am. For breakfast he has toast, oatmeal, or yogurt with some kind of fruit. He nurses again before lunch. Lunch is usually puffs (because he isn't patient) and steamed veggies. He nurses again before dinner, then has meat and a veggie. He gets a 5oz bottle of breastmilk before bed and sometimes wakes up around midnight to eat again.
I know oz are different between formula and bf, but I would guess between the 5-6 feedings he's getting about 28-30oz of breastmilk.
We do blw and she eats what I eat when I eat it. She really likes avocado, pasta, oranges, bread, yogurt, puffs. She loved some chunky veggie soup I gave her yesterday! She probably gets about 25-30 ounces a day of breastmilk.
R eats everything and anything! He eats whatever we are eating meals with his favorites foods being eggs, pasta, carrots, mashed potatoes, and cucumbers.
He has about 25 ozs of formula spread throughout the day. I'm trying to get him to take water but he hates it and will only take a sip or two.

L has about 28-30oz of formula a day and eats finger foods (she isn't into the whole puree thing). She eats 3 meals and some snacks when I need her to sit still Some of our easy go to things we give her:
-Shredded cheese -Scrambled egg -Toast with applesauce/hummus -sweet potato -squash -avocado -pasta -Salmon -Ground turkey -shredded chicken -banana -watermelon -Anything soft we are eating
11:00am: 6-7oz bottle 12:00noon: lunch (peanut butter toast and fruit - boys always want to eat pb&jelly)
2:00pm: 6-7oz bottle
5:30pm: dinner (whatever we are eating, sometimes she eats it sometimes not)
7:30pm: 8oz bottle
She prefers to feed herself, but I still offer purees occasionally. Her favorites are avocado toast, broccoli, chicken, fish sticks, apples, bananas, pears, and watermelon. We've given her the following that she wasn't a huge fan of: eggs, pancakes, sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, green beans, cucumbers, potatoes, strawberries, blueberries, cheese, mac n cheese, pasta, french fries.
kendylouwho my DD is the same and she will take 6 oz max at a time. But she wants bottles more often.
Same with mine. With my son, he'd guzzle 9oz easily. My daughter will only take a full bottle before bed. Other than that, it's an ounce or two and then she'll play a bit and take a little more.
