8 month old baby feeding pattern examples

[Newbabynewhouse]

Im feeling quite stressed about whether I am doing the right thing for my baby.. my health visitor is unfortunately not very helpful and seems to want me off the phone whenever i call (probably 4 times in 8 months...) and i end up leaving the call with not much advice...

This is my baby routine with food...and it would be great if you could share what you do..

*7am - 8oz bottle
*Sometimesand extra hour sleep, sometimes up and awake for day
*9.30am - baby bowl of baby porridge, sippy cup of water and mashed fruit
*10.30am - nap
*1pm - 8oz bottle
*2pm -nap
*4.30pm - dinner (ellas kitchen mixed with soft steamed veg and mash potato) as an example...water and a fruit puree yoghurt or fromage frais
*5.30pm - bath and change for bed
*6pm - 8oz bottle and bed
Sleep until 7am but wakes now and then as dropped dummy or needs changing or teething!

Im scared of finger foods even though i know how good BLW is! I do ket her have some baby crisps like the natural tomato puffs and very very soft veg to hold too

Am i along the right lines????????

Do you not give lunch too?
My DD2 is just under 8 months she has

7:30- bottle
8:30/9am- porridge or toast with peanut butter
10am- hour nap
12pm- omelette with pepper or mixed veg, egg & toast or a plate of cheese ham & cucumber etc
1pm- bottle & 2-3 hour nap
5pm- whatever we are eating, pasta, curry & rice.
Tonight we all had fish, mash & mixed veg.
6:30/7- bottle and bed
Maybe one more bottle around 9ish but if not then sleeps through

We also give fruit, banana, strawberries etc

Honestly, do not panic with BLW, it has worked with both DD.
I now just let DD2 feed herself, she stops when she's full. If it's something from a bowl or spoon when we feed her but anything else she enjoys doing it herself

Mine woke 7-7.30, breastfed, breakfast 8am, breastfed mid morning on demand, lunch 1 ish, apple juice, fed on demand 2 times in pm, dinner around 6.30, whatever we were eating by 8 months, cut up rather than purée, demand feed during evening and night. Didn't sleep through until 2.5 years old and long after I weaned
