I'm back to work next week and just switching over feeds ready for when I'm back. Not sure what to expect ds to take. Could someone advise please?

Still going to breast feed first thing and bed time ( and occ small feed overnight although I don't think he has that much).

Half a weetabix for breakfast (or equiv in porridge)

Good eater - lunch e.g half an egg, quarter/half slice bread, small fromage frais, 2-3 grapes

tea e.g roast meat, couple carrot batons, teaspoon cabbage, desertspoon mash potatoe, small fromage frais

The past 2 weeks I've been making up 8oz formula and can take anything between 3-7 oz at around 3 pm.

I've just started making up formula at 11 am when I usually would feed him myself. He's taking 2-3 oz.

Do you think this is enough? Difficult to know how much he has with breastfeeding. He's a good weight, 98th centile (always has been). He wakes up lots at night at the moment, which I know is prob developmental rather than through hunger. He's happy during the day and naps well.

Thanks for your help x

sounds like a normal amount for a 9m old

some will eat more / others less

Thanks Nannyl, he had 6 oz when he woke up late morning. And just finished a plate of leftovers from yday's roast. I think you're right, no need to worry. I'll carry on making up both bottles 6-7 oz and see what he takes. Just hope he's ok with our new nanny tomorrow x
