9 month old diet

3 replies

I’m BLW my 9 month old. She LOVES food but is this too much…
example of a typical day:

breakfast: half a banana (sometimes with half a weetabix and oat milk sometimes without)

lunch: scrambled egg or dairy free cream cheese on sourdough toast

dinner: whatever we are having so a small helping of curry (made from fresh no salt)
or pasta with a homemade sauce
Or home made bean burger etc

she will also have 4 bottles of milk
and sometimes snacks too

she seems happy enough and loves her food but I don’t want to over feed her if it’s inappropriate to give her this much

Dos she have a dairy allergy?

I’d probably give her more at breakfast and vary things a bit for lunch but otherwise it sounds like she’s doing really well with solids. She might be ready to start reducing her bottles but be led by her.

@MoreLidlThanWaitrose thank you for your reply, yes she’s got a dairy allergy and I do struggle to think of things sometimes! Partly because I worry because so many things have hidden dairy 😭 she does have veggies and hummus at lunch too etc

someone commented on how much she ate and it worried me 😅 but that’s good to hear you think it sounds about right

I wouldn’t say so, that’s roughly what my 7 month old DS has (he weighs 21lbs) . Granted a lot ends up on the floor but if I were to spoon feed him he would happily have all of it plus 4 bottles a day. Definitely doesn’t sound like too much at all.
