10 month old food in a day - is this OK?

FTM, PFB. Just get those OTW (out the way)

Yesterday was:
Brekky: Half a potato cake with unsalted butter and 1 egg, scrambled. Few raspberries after

Lunch: 3/4 cheese sandwich with scraping of mayo to bind it, couple of baby rice cakes, half a banana, few raspberries. We were out in town so we had the same packed lunch (but I had crisps instead of baby rice cakes...)

Dinner: smoked mackerel, avocado sticks, red pepper and hummus, and courgette fritter. Yogurt and kiwi afterwards.

She had 18oz (3 6oz bottles at 7am, 2.30pm and 6.30pm) of milk throughout the day and plenty of water with meals.

Day before was:
Breakfast: half weetabix with full fat milk and half a banana

Lunch: linda mccartney sausage and beans with a slice of toast

Dinner: spinach pesto pasta and broccoli with cheese and tomatoes

She had 3 6oz bottles in the day again too.

I have people telling me it's too much but it feels fine to me. I have an unhealthy relationship with food and I'm an undiagnosed binge eater and have been known to eat 8000 in a binge.

She is sleeping through the night and has been 1.5 and 3 hours sleep in the day depending on activities (she doesn't sleep too well in the buggy, usually only 45 mins max)

I need amounts really, don't I

3/4 mackerel fillet, 1/8 of an avocado, 2 strips of red pepper, tablespoon hummus.

Bread is from a 400g loaf

1 LM sausage, 3 tablespoons of beans.

Pasta was about 12 shapes with about 10g cheese and 1 baby tomato in quarters.

Sounds fine to me. Keep an eye on the salt intake.

NowWeAreSuckingDiesel · 14/04/2019 10:24

The beans are reduced salt and the bread doesn't have salt but yes, the cheese and mackerel is probably quite salty do you think?

The pesto, fritter and all that is homemade with salt

Sounds ok to me too, at 10 months they have a big growth spurt and mine became little eating machines. Her diet sounds really varied, healthy and adequate amounts

Sounds fine to me too - there are lots of stages through childhood where their appetites vary so listen to her needs not someone else's opinion (unless asked for like here on mn Grin)

Sounds good to me. Can I come round for dinner?

Sounds fine to me, my boy is a big eater too. Always has double portions at nursery. Sometimes third Shock.
Hes also the skinniest kid you've ever seen so I don't get too much judgement on how much he eats. We are not big snackers.
Once had an acquaintance ask me "does x eat well? He doesnt look like it". You know your daughter well, sounds like shes thriving.
