My DS complains/crys for a bottle, but will not cry for his breakfast/dinner/tea?????

7 months old

0700 Milk 7oz
0930 Readybrek/weetabix
1030 Milk 4 oz
1230 Dinner (something in a jar)
1430 Sleep 30 minutes
1530 More milk (3/6oz) depends on baby)
1630 Breadsticks/toast
1730 somthing in a jar
1800 Bath & emmerdale & milk (5oz)
1910 thank God he has finally gone and I can drink a glass of wine now. Sod emmerdale, but watch Corrie & Stenders. Am also worrying that everyone in the entire Universe has gone to bed. Perhaps when I go back to work, I will go to bed at 9pm. God, I must admit I cannot sleep so early.

What I really wanted to know:- is my DS eating enough. When I say 'jar' I mean half a 7 month jar. Sometimes I give him blended what I have eaten. Yesterday we had roast chicken, yorkshires, potatoes. All were home made without salt. So I blended em with baby gravy!

I am SOOOO worried about giving salt to DS.

Sounds good to me Hennypenny ....
Not sure why you are worried ... is he happy? Does he sleep? Does he put on weight?

Sounds fine to me.

My DS is 7 1/2 months and has 3 milk feeds which lately have only been about 3-6 oz. He has almost exactly the same number of meals/snacks as yours, although at slightly different times. I think he probably has a larger portion at lunch time, but I'm not quite sure how much 1/2 jar is in tablespoons. He also has at least 1 yoghurt/petit filous a day with his tea as I like to ensure he's getting anough milk foods now that his cutting back on his milk.

Does he eat well?

Do you give him anything to drink with his meal?

Does he only sleep for 30 mins during the day?

Whenever I give juice/water it seems to make him sick. Also what I have written sounds alot but he doesn't eat all of it. he weighs 17.5 lbs and I think he is a bit small. But the juice/water thing is a bit weird as it's every time.

Have you tried adding Gaviscon to the water?
