So we're doing BLW with 9m DS, but today I was buying some meal pouches just to have in for emergencies and was a bit shocked by the portion sizes.
It's made me wonder if DS is getting enough to eat?? I know the whole point of BLW is that they eat as much as they want and stop when full so we do always offer food until he starts pulling at his bib/smushing food about/hanging over the side of his highchair. But I do have a niggle of worry now.
Not helped by ruddy MIL who thinks BLW is the devil and makes the type of comments that show she thinks he doesn't eat enough. But anyway MIL vs me & DH on the subject of BLW is a whole other story!!!
He sleeps well overnight on the whole and seems happy during the day, plus he gets plenty milk still (maybe 1 bottle too much at the mo to be honest).
Has anyone else been concerned about portion sizes or is it just me? Do they give you more in the pouch so that there's more than baby will need to make you don't run out before baby's full? (Sorry, pouch novice here)
