I've been weaning since 5 months as DS is not particularly keen on milk and has self weaned himself down to 3 bottles a day already.
2 questions really:
- is it normal to have a slow down in weight gain?
- am I feeding him enough?
He is eating 3 meals a day:
He eats a relatively big bowl of porridge or weetabix with a mashed banana and I have started offering toast with peanut butter as well for breakfast.
He then has a portion of stew/spag bol/risotto or whatever with a yoghurt or rice pudding for lunch and supper.
I try to offer snacks but they mostly get smeared all over him and the house/pram/highchair/walker.
He has a bottle first in the morning but does not drink very much of it and I make his porridge/weetabix with the remainder.
He'll take another bottle at 11.00, but won't drink all of it. I then offer another one about 3.30 but it's hit and miss if he'll take it. I've given up with a bottle before bed as I was just throwing milk down the sink, but he will drink most of his dream feed.
Any thoughts/experience would be greatly appreciated.
