i am having a bit of a crisis of confidence and need some wise words or reassurance! my dd is 10 months and has been BLW from the start. she would eat all day if i let her, this last week she seems to have been having a growth spurt and is waking at night and taking 2 extra bottles; now a friend has suggested maybe she should be eating more but i think she eats quite a lot anyway.
a typical day would be:
breakfast - 1 oatibix, some melon (and sometimes half a slice of toast and marmite)
snack - fruit - maybe half a pear, or a plum and some grapes
lunch - fresh ravioli (4 or 5 pillows), 3 or 4 florets of brocoli, a couple of baby corns and a yoghurt
snack - eg -crackers and cheese or mini veg biscuits
tea - about 4 rice cakes with hummus, 2 slices of quorn ham, more fruit
she also has 3 x 8oz bottles a day.
what do you think - too much, too little? go with it till she settles out of a growth spurt?
i would welcome any opinions as i'm worried!
TIA
