There is no fixed quantity for a baby.Allow to eat the baby according to its demand. Every new food should be start in a small quantity and should be gradually increased according to the acceptance and liking of the baby.Never force to eat a arbitrary fixed quantity.Every baby has his own pace of eating,respect it.

Regarding the feed for an eight month old baby you can give how much ever the baby tolerates, if the quantity is less increases the frequency of feed. Quantity depends on how much the baby tolerates.
