Zero. 5 months is to early for baby food.

its recomended to wait until after 6 months to givr baby food. i waited until 8 months. i think my kids were drinking around 4oz a bottle at 5 months. maybe 5oz.

Just formula at 5 months is what we did. It's not recommended to give your baby food until 6 months at the very earliest.

My LO started solid at 5 months. She eats 1 jar a day around 5pm for dinner my doctor wants me to start giving it to her twice a day but I declined. My plan was wait until at least 6 months but she was not gaining weight on breast milk alone, so we decided to introduce small amounts of high fat solids to see if it made a difference and it did! She still gets the breast on demand all through the day/night as well.

DD eats 24-28 oz a day plus 1tbsp of cereal and 1 ice cube of baby food

DS is 4.5 months old and drinks 6 oz of formula every 3-4 hours during the day and eats 2 jars of baby food over the course of 4 times during the day. The only reason he is on baby food though is because he has a severe milk protien allergy and the food is easier on his stomach than even the special formula is and the solids were started under the guidance of his pediatrician.

every 2 hours for a week and a half so i started her on baby food at 5monhts

My daughter is 4 months old and she's been on baby cereal for a month now due to her acid reflux and her doctor recommended it. It has done wonders. She keeps down her food now with barley any spit up.

My LO eats 7 oz of formula every 4 hours from around 6 am until she goes to bed at 8pm. She sleeps through the night. She usually has 1 jar of baby food a day, sometimes I skip days because it doesn't need to be her main food source.

Well I am not sure of the exact ounces but that time limit sounds normal to me.
