Sharing is caring!

A 8 month old baby can eat most things, but sometimes it is confusing how much, when and what - see this helpful 8 month old baby food chart, feeding schedule, feeding tips and more baby food recipes.

If you haven't already, at this age you will most likely be transitioning from purees to more textured foods or even small bite-sized pieces if your baby is starting to get a hang of pincer grasp (but this often develops from 9 months old onwards).

How much should 8 month old be eating?

Between 750 - 900 calories where about 400-500 calories still come from breastmilk/formula.

In the below 8 month baby food chart you will see how much of each food group you should serve.

8 month baby food chart

The 8 month baby food chart shows the recommendations in servings for all the food groups.

At this age, the assumption is that the baby has already tasted a fair share of different foods and is ready to start eating some more complex meals. It is not of crucial importance that the food chart is exactly followed in terms of amounts.

It is however advisable that you can include as much as possible of different food groups within those 2 solid meals per day and in the approximate amounts as mentioned.

The sample menu below is based on the FAO/WHO/UNU Energy Requirements for an average 8-month-old who weighs 19.6 lbs (8.9 kg).

If your baby is bigger or smaller than this that is ok. Every baby is different and this is just an average.

This is not a personalized plan, so please bear this disclaimer in mind.

What to feed 8 month old?

The following foods should be cooked and served appropriately (soft enough to easily mash between the forefinger and thumb).

Fruits - apples, strawberries, bananas, peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, mango, pineapples, oranges
Vegetables - cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, swiss chard, kale, parsnips, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, zucchini, eggplant, butternut squash, potatoes, sweet potato, asparagus, beetroot, avocado
Protein - beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, pork, fish, eggs, lentils, chickpeas, beans, tofu
Grains - oats, millet, wholewheat products (bread, tortillas, pittas, pasta, couscous), quinoa, barley, bulgur, rye products (bread, tortillas, pittas), rice (once a week due to high arsenic content)
Dairy (pasteurized, no added sugar or salt) - cheese, full-fat yogurt, kefir
Fats - nut butters, seed butters, olive oil, avocado

Foods to avoid

Cow’s milk – digestive system not yet adapted
Low-fat milk and dairy products – cause excessive intake of protein and low intake of essential fats
Honey – can cause botulism
Salt – kidneys not sufficiently developed
Fruit juices – high sugar content
Unpasteurized products – can contain dangerous bacteria
Smoked & cured meats / processed food – excessive salt intake
High mercury fish (shark, fresh tuna, halibut, grouper) – excessive intake of mercury
Chocolate, especially dark – high caffeine content

How much milk should 8 month old drink?

An eight month old baby should not have any cow's or goat's milk (unless used for cooking) but only breastmilk or formula.

If giving bottled breastmilk then roughly 24 ounces or 720 ml spread between 3-5 feedings per day.

If breastfeeding, continue as you were. The baby knows when they are full and when they need more.

How much formula should an 8 month old drink?

An eight month old baby should have roughly 24 ounces or 720 ml of formula spread between 3-5 feedings per day.

How much water for eight month old baby?

Ideally, you would also give your child ~3-4 oz (90-120 ml) of water during the day in addition to the below food as well.

Note that different kinds of food also contain different amounts of water so that will vary with a different menu.

Try offering 1-2 oz (30-60 ml) per solid meal per day but if they don't drink it all then don't worry.

The priority is to establish healthy eating (and drinking) habits at this stage.

For more info about water intake during the first 3 years of life, click here.

Sample 8 month old feeding schedule

Following the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Dietetic Association and World Health Organization we suggest you introduce solid foods one by one and for at least a day at a time.

That means introducing each of the foods in the meal plan one by one before following the menu below.

Each recipe can be made as a puree, baby-led weaning option or mashed food (if you are transitioning away from purees).

Because of physical differences, growth spurts, or teething, your child may need/want more or less food than what’s proposed. This is completely normal as every child is unique.

The idea is to offer the proposed average amount of food needed and to go from there.

Breakfast

8 oz breastmilk or formula

Lunch – Strawberry Oats (click here for recipe)

1.5 tablespoon uncooked oats
3 tablespoons water to cook the oats
½ cup strawberries

Snack

8 oz breastmilk or formula

Dinner – Chicken Broccoli Millet (click here for recipe)

1. 8 oz chicken, whole, dark and white meat, without skin or bone
½ cup broccoli florets
1 tablespoon uncooked millet
2 tablespoons water to cook millet
½ teaspoon olive oil

Before bedtime

8 oz breastmilk or formula

Meal plans and baby food charts for other ages are available in the baby food charts section such as Meal plan for 6 month old baby, 7 month old baby food chart, 9 month old baby food chart, 10 month old baby food and diet chart or the 10 month old meal plan, 11 month old meal plan and 1 year old baby food chart.

Eight month old feeding tips

offer foods one by one to control for allergies
start moving from purees to textured/mashed food (or continue with BLW)
always be present when baby is eating
avoid salt and sugar
no honey before 1 year oold
no cow's milk or goat's milk unless cooking
don't worry about how much they are eating - breastmilk/formula is still the main source of nutrition and they are exploring new foods
offer mashed foods on a preloaded spoon (have a few spoons on hand)
have a great bib to minimize cleaning
serve food in a suction bowl so baby can scoop food out themselves
teach them to drink little sips from an open cup from the beginning
notice when baby is full because they will start turning their head away, clamp lips, throw food on the floor, spit food out, push food away

Effortless Apples and Chicken

Ingredients:

1/3 cup boneless chicken or turkey, chopped and cooked
1/4 cup soft cooked apple (no skin or seeds), or 1/4 cup natural applesauce
Handful of diced carrots (optional)
Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Directions:

Place chicken with cooked apple in a food processor or blender.
Add cinnamon.
Puree or mash to a consistency suitable for baby, adding water to thin if necessary.

Quick Tip! This recipe freezes with mixed results. It may thaw to a gritty and watery texture. For best results reheat in a saucepan so that ingredients may easily be recombined.

Peachy Keen Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:

1 sweet potato, peeled and diced
2 ripe peaches, pitted and cubed
Water
Pinch of cinnamon or ginger

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375° F
Combine sweet potato and peaches in a shallow baking dish and add just enough water to slightly cover the food. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or ginger over the dish and stir, cover with foil.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until peaches and sweet potatoes are fork tender—check on the water level often.
Once fully baked, reserve any remaining water and transfer sweet potatoes and peaches to a bowl to cool.
Puree or mash as needed for baby’s texture preference.

May be frozen but some wateriness may occur upon thawing—try adding some plain whole milk yogurt to reconstitute.

Quick Tip! You can double, triple or even quadruple this recipe and turn it into a delicious holiday side dish for the grown-ups and bigger kids in the family. Simply mash all the ingredients together, add a ½ cup whole milk yogurt per each doubling of the recipe and then return the mix to a baking dish. Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle on some chopped nuts and warm in a heated oven for 15 minutes.

Lentil, Sweet Potato and Apple Salad

Ingredients:

3 medium sweet potatoes
1 large apple (Macintosh or Granny Smith work well!)
2 cups water or broth (low sodium, all natural chicken or vegetable broth) for the lentils
1 cup water (to steam sweet potatoes and apples)
1 cup yellow lentils (or any dried type of lentils)
2 Tbl. olive oil
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. (or a small pinch) cardamom

Directions:

Peel the sweet potatoes and cube in 1 inch cubes.
Peel, core and dice the apple into small dices.
Bring 2 cups of water or broth to a boil in one saucepot and add the lentils.
Return the lentils to boil and then turn heat to low.
Simmer lentils on low heat for 20 to 30 minutes or until the lentils have become soft.
Add 1 cup of water to the other saucepot and insert a steamer basket into the pot.
Add the sweet potato cubes and diced apple to the steamer basket and steam for approximately 20 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are fork tender.

Once foods have cooled, combine the foods together in a large bowl with 2 Tbl. of olive oil.
Sprinkle in the spices and toss well.

Quick Tip! Mash the salad and serve as a finger food meal or puree for babies who are not enjoying lumps and bumps. Sweet potatoes, apples and lentils are a powerful combination. This salad is great for grown-ups too and will serve up lots of iron, protein and vitamin C as well as vitamin A.

Parsnip, Apple and Carrot Mash

Ingredients:

4 parsnips
4 carrots
2 apples
Pinch of cinnamon
1 Tbl. olive oil

Did You Know? While eggs may have a bad reputation for being high in cholesterol, making eggs a part of baby’s diet will not lead to dangerously high cholesterol levels. Babies need more fats and even some cholesterol for healthy growth and development.
