Feedings

I am very confused at the moment. I am trying to figure out how much I should be feeding the boys. The stuff from the doctor says they should nurse 4-5 times a day (we do 5). Then that they should have 2 1/2 jars of fruit and veggies and 1 jar of meat each day (we do the fruit and veggie but I'd only been giving them 1/2 a jar of meat because we just started that like a month ago). Then I read something on Gerber's website yesterday that said they should be having 2 1/2 to 3 jars of food (one fruit, one veggie, and one meat) at lunch and dinner and 2 jars at breakfast. That means that according to Gerber what the boys eat for an entire day is basically what they should be eating in one meal (just barely over). I can't decide if I should really believe what Gerber's website says since of course they would make money from making people think their child needs to eat that much baby food. I know I can't increase their food that much that quickly. I thought I was buying a lot of baby food already and now I find out that I really do need to increase their food at least a little it's amazing. I wish I had bought stock in Gerber a year ago because at least then I would be increasing the worth of my own stock while I'm buying all of this food. Oh well, not much longer and they can really switch over to mostly table foods. I can't believe they are 10 months old already. It goes so fast.
