solids

Hi
Just wondering

1) How many solid meals did your baby have at 6.5months a day?

2) How much would they eat at each meal?

3) how many bottles and how many mls

1) How many solid meals did your baby have at 6.5months a day?
2, sometimes 3. He wasn't very keen on breakfast. I'd offer, if he wanted it he would have it, if he clamped his mouth shut or made a fuss I left it.


2) How much would they eat at each meal?
He went through stages of being fussy and not wanting much if anything but usually about 1/2 a jar - 1 jar if we were really lucky. Plus we introduced finger foods.

Spencer was on 2 meals then, lunch and dinner, it wasn't until around 7 months that he was interested in breakfast. He would have 3 ice cubes worth of diff veges/fruit/meat and slowly progressed to 4 and is now on 5 plus finger foods.

Bottles he had 5-6 a day, I would make up 180ml but he wouldn't always drink it all, now he is on 4. His milk dropped quite drastically when I swapped to giving solids first at around 8.5 months.

HI simone

Thinking back to when Luke was that age it's about teh same as what NZpiper said. I progressed to 3 meals so that by 7 months he was eating dinner too.
So wake up - BF
Breakfast
10 or 11am BF
Lunch
2 or 3 BF
Dinner
BF

I think at seven or 7.5 months I added morning and afternoon tea of finger food so fruit for morning tea, like banana, or rusk or cruskit with lots of marmite! (the best cracker!)

I know some of my friends didn't offer the morning and afternoon teas to much later but i felt Luke was ready for finger food then actually perfers it.

I think it's at 8 months were food is before milk can't remember!!

that is interesting Milo, I have been wondering about introducing morning and afternoon tea as Tom seems to eat so much at his meals.

Had jus moved Ella onto 3 meals a day then (b/fast, lunch & dinner). Introduced afternoon tea around 7.5 months and am just now thinking about adding morning tea

2) How much would they eat at each meal?

between 1/2 jar to 1 jar depending on what food it was

3) how many bottles and how many mls

5 b/f a day

1) How many solid meals did your baby have at 6.5months a day?
One (started at 6 months)

2) How much would they eat at each meal?
From memory, around 2-4 cubes (all food was homemade)

3) how many bottles and how many mls
breastfed

Now I do all 3

breaakfast - cereal and vege (as she won't eat fruit)
Lunch - either veges or finger food (bread and marmite, carrot/celery/courgette sticks)
Snack- only on days she needs it, will be finger food
Dinner - meat and veges.

i don't do custard or anything like that as I am avoiding dairy and wheat.
