6 month old DS was weaned at 4 months due to reflux. HV has told me to now drop bottles and go 3 meals a day. He's quite small, 9th percentile, only 16lbs and I struggle to get 3 'Proper meals' in him.
He has 5oz at 7, breakfast at 9.30, bottle at 11.30ish, lunch (well fruit/yoghurt something small) at 1, bottle at 3, dinner at 5.30, bedtime bottle at 7. I give him baby juice or water with his meals and he wakes up once in the night, around 4am for a bottle but goes back off til 6.30.
We're still eating a lot of Ella's kitchen and purées, he's not great at actually eating 'proper food' by himself, he'll try things if I physically give it to him and put it in his mouth but if I just left some toast for instance on his high chair tray, not much would actually get eaten and I would be left with a hungry baby so BLW is not for us.
He already has 2 little front teeth so likes crunching things. I'm not against letting him have completely solid things at all but feel like I should still spoon feed him to actually get a decent amount of food in him.
How much do you feed your 6 month old and what do you give them? I need some inspiration!
Sorry this is a bit rambly
