How much is your bf 12 month old eating?

[bobstersmum]

Can I ask how much food your bf 12-13 month old is eating?
Dd is still very much in the boob. She started solids late at 8 months due to total disinterest from her, but blw was gong ok not she hasn't really increased the amount she eats. It's just handfuls here and there, few spoons of this and that. She seems to enjoy playing with the food and she will try anything but she does mostly fill up on milk. I have tried offering food when she has had no milk for a few hours, and she's the same. My boys were nothing like this they ate loads!

We're in a similar boat here! Ds is exbf at 12m and I think if we stopped giving him solids he wouldn't care! He has

Bowl of readibrek and milk
Biscuit /baby crisp things mid morning
2/3 cube of home made baby food for lunch followed by yoghurt/pureed fruit
Biscuit /crisp snack thing
Similar to lunch for tea

But he's still spoon fed mostly as he's just not that bothered about food! I think she'll gradually get more interested as time goes on, but if she's a milk monster like mine I guess that'll be her main thing for a while?

Thanks for your reply! But thats loads more than dd has! She hates breakfast cereal so I offer toast /pancake /crumpet or dinner banana and she has a bit of a suck on it but mostly throws it around. Lunch is usually a sandwich and some fruit or yoghurt and she does same again although will rarely eat a whole yoghurt. Tea time is whatever we have and if its something she particularly likes (Spag bol, chilli or shepherd's pie) she will have a good few spoonfuls as she seems to like mince, but she mostly just picks at things.

Sorry for typos I'm on my phone!

My daughter was very similar at that age, much preferred her cooked meals. Like you she's always had what we (and big sister) had in the evening.
Lunch was hit and miss and normally and most would end up on the floor. She definitely preferred to just have her milk.

She's ALOT better now though, she's just turned 2 and is no longer breastfed, (day time stopped in February, night time stopped in April) she loves her breakfast often has cereals and toast, I still think cooked meals are her favourite. I think maybe around 18 months she started eating more.
