Just wanted to check that DS is getting enough. A typical day is:
6.30am bf
7am couple of tablespoons of porridge and a handful of cheerios
7.45am quick bf before nursery(he won't have milk during the day)
Lunch- two pieces of bread to make sandwiches with cream cheese, peanut butter, cheese, hummous, 2/3 strawberries, fruit pot
Tea- 2/3 tablespoons of cottage pie, spag Bol, risotto, roast dinner etc and a yogurt for pudding

He also has snacks(normally a banana) and bf before bed. Does this seem enough? He's just got over being ill and so his weight gain has slowed, but otherwise seems fine.

My DD is 12mo and this sounds pretty similar to her day.....

It sounds really good to me, you've got me worrying if my 14mo eats enough now! Today she's had

Breakfast - couple of tablespoons of cheerios with milk, a few sips of apple juice
snack - half a box of raisins
lunch - a few chunks of avodaco, a tiny piece of bread (rest chucked on floor), several strawberries
snack - 1 breadstick and about a quarter of a banana
dinner - a few spoonfuls of tomato sauce and half a chipolata sausage (from sausage & tomato casserole), 1 rice cake

She does still have lots of milk though, is still bf, big feeds in the morning, after lunch and before bed and several smaller 'snack' ones through the day. Sounds like your ds is getting a really good balanced diet to me.

I wish my 12 mo was the same as yours...... Throws everything on the floor food wise, spits out what he puts in his mouth!
