What does your 8 m old eat? Apparently mine not having enough ?

[myBusinessNotyours]

She is just turned 8m and has 1 (small) pouch a day (vegetable) at lunchtime
She doesn’t want food any other time and has plenty of milk and is happy healthy and growing
HV said by now should be 3 meals a day and mashed home cooked or blw not full purée

I’m happy what we are doing and I don’t see the need to rush. She seems totally fine

If she won't eat, reduce the amount of milk she has - we had to do that with DS (also breastfed) because he preferred milk to anything else. He was not happy about it at first but he got used to it and it really helped his eating.

You need to be careful she gets enough iron, babies have enough stored at birth to last approx 6 months but can then become anaemic if weaning doesn't provide the iron they need. Breast milk is low in iron. You could swap her one bottle of formula to follow on milk which has a higher iron content, and of course she should have a daily multivitamin (recommended for all babies 6 months to age 5). We use WellBaby which has iron in it too.

Yes it’s follow on milk I put her vit d spray into her vegetables but she doesn’t have other vitamins I was just told vitamin d?

Some babies take longer to get used to food. I would say home cooked is always better than the pouches as they are heat treated for preservation which denatures a lot of the vitamins. Could you home make the pouch flavour she has so she's at least getting more vitamins from that if it's all she eats? If she likes the pouch format you can get reusable ones :)
