What does your 7 month old eat??

[juicychops]

Just out of interest. I just want to know what other 7 month olds are eating for their meals so i can compare to my ds. Im not sure if he is eating too much or the wrong things.
What food do they eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks? and how many bottles do they have?

My DS just 7 months has 7oz milk on waking, weetabix/fruit and a little bit of toast for breakfast, 7 oz milk at 10.30ish, lunch is soem sort of puree from the freezer, or scrambled eggs,or pasta and tom sauce, some little bits of finger foos eg cheese, or carrot, or breadstick, then fruit or yoghyurt and then 7oz milk at 2ish, a bit of banana or baby biscuit or something at 4 ish to keep him going till DH comes in from work then at tea time he has whatever we're having mashed eg tonight we had morrocan mince, and rice so he had that and a cube of veggies out the freezer and then some fruit, yogurt or a h/m pud if we have one. His appetite varies greatly from day to day tho sometimes hell scoff everything in sight and cry for more and other days will only eat a couple of mouthfulls befroe refusing.

HTH sorry its a bit long winded!

dd 7 months today and today has eaten 1/2 weetabix with 2 small cubes of raspberry and apple, 2 large cubes of vegetable risotto, 1 large cube of cod in cheese sauce and 1 large cube of pea and carrot, 1 yoghyrt and 2 large cubes of rice pudding. I limit snacks mainly cos she is really cutting back on milk but if she does have snacks she has fruit or biscuit or rice cake. She would also eat more given the chance at meal times but I limit this too because of trying to encourage her to drink milk !

Bottle wise she has 4 of anything from 2 oz to 6 oz !

Breakfast =Puree fruit
Lunch = Maybe half mashed Advocado or Mashed Sweet Potato with Carrot & Brocoli
Dinner = Puree Fruit

She also has several BFing sessions a day.

I'm going very slow it would seem but DS (5 yrs) has serious allergies so it is advisable to go slow.

Do you know if you have to use unsalted butter with a 7mth old?

Blimey. My 7 month old has a small corner of weetabix for breakfast and an icecubes worth of puree at around lunchtime. Drinks about 35oz a day (in 7 oz bottles) Occaisionally has a bread roll to chew on for his teeth.

My gut reaction on the unsalted butter thing would be to avoid salt in any form if you can. I don't know for sure, but I read that their kidneys can't take salt.

I use unsalted butter Eaney.

Ds is 8 months but should only be 6 months as he was prem.
Breakfast: 1 Weetabix mixed with breastmilk
Lunch : 150ml mixed veg puree, usually some Annabel Karmel recipe!
Tea : 150ml Fruit Puree
Would agree about unsalted butter if possible!
