My DD is 8.5 months. She generally loves to eat and has been easy and good fun to wean, but I worry that she is eating an awful lot for her age. She is a big baby (75th centile for height and 99th centile for length) and seems to have a large appetite! She is also very active and a fast crawler and currently cruising the furniture! She's gone off milk a fair bit, so I try to get plenty of dairy into her. A typical day goes something like:
6.30am - 7oz formula
8am - breakfast of 1 weetabix
10.30ish - small snack (a fromage frais or some cheese cubes)
12 - lunch of a small portion whatever we had for dinner last night, so usually fish pie, chicken risotto, sweet potato & veg & chicken, chicken pasta, chopped into small piece. I bought the stage 2 weaning pots and she tends to eat about as much as fit into one of these (5oz or so?)
3pm - snack of a banana
5pm - small tea of something on 1 piece of toast (philidelphia, marmite, hummus), or a scrambled egg and 1/2 piece of toast + a little bit of fruit (strawberries or a couple of orange slices)
6.15pm - 7oz formula.
She drinks water with all of her meals. She is my first and some days I feel like all she does is eat!
