Food quantities for 10 mo

3 replies

Youvegotafriendinme · 11/09/2017 18:59

My DS is nearly 10 mo and has 3 meals a day and 20oz of milk. He is on 75centile

I have tried googling to find my answer but don't have much luck.
I'd like to know if there's a rough amount he should be eating each day? This is what he currently has:

Breakfast: large (3 tablespoons) bowl porridge/muesli or 1 weetabix and some fruit

Lunch: 1/2 sandwich/1/2 toast, small yoghurt, few crisps, carrot/cucumber sticks

Dinner: around 120g of food. I make all his food and it's mushed. lasagne, fish pie, pasta etc then some home made rice pudding/banana baked custard etc (around 60g)

He has a bottle in the morning, between 12-1:30 and at bed

He always finishes his food and never seems hungry. Is it a case of 'each babies different?' Shall I offer more and treat it like the bottles where there should always be some left over?

Thank you

Sounds about right to me. They should always be a bit left on the plate and a bit left in the bottle. That way, yiu know they've had enough Smile

I never weighed out portions so would have had no idea of the weight of food given.

I have actually just posted this question somewhere else. I'm new on here so obviously wrote it in the wrong place lol the portions sound great to me. Your lo eats better than mine. I'm struggling at the minute as she won't spoon feed anymore so it's all finger food but it mostly goes on the floor :(
