i have three children, all girls, well this is the first time that i am a full time mom, with my first two children i was working full time so you can imagine that i didn't get much time with the girls, well now i'm home and with my youngest girl; she's eight months and she's eating baby food, it turns out that she is liking that more than her formula, so yesterday she only had two bottles totaling 14 ounces, but she had breakfast (4 ounces of banana baby food) she had lunch (4 ounces of chicken and rice baby food) she had dinner (4 ounces turkey and rice baby food), is this ok since she only got the two bottles of formula? when should we worry about our 8 month old eating properly and getting the nutrients that she should?

I think if you make her food yourself instead of getting it out of jars you will know what she is getting and be happier that she is getting a right mix of nutrients. As long as she is getting a good mix of fruit and vegetables she should be fine.
