What has your baby eaten today and what age are they?

[Rtfairy]

Just interested in how much others are eating in comparison to DD who is 7 months. Am interested in all methods of weaning so spoon fed, blw, jars/pouches etc..

yesterday my 7.5 month old DD2 had:-

7oz formula
scrambled eggs on toast, strawberries and water
5 oz formula
hummous, bread, tomato, cucumber followed by a plum and natural yoghurt with water
7oz formula
pasta bolognese followed by strawberries with water
7oz formula was offered but I can't remember what she had.

Today so far:-

7oz formula
1/2 weetabix with whole milk followed by a plum. I think her big sister fed her the crusts of her toast and peanut butter too. Water
7oz formula
lamb curry with cous cous
4 oz formula
not sure what they are having for tea - there is still some hummus in the fridge leftover from yesterday so DD1 will probably what that. DD2 might get cream cheese as it is a bit less salty than the hummus

My DS is 7 1/2 Months old and a big boy... have read this with interest as always wonder whether I am giving him too much..??

This was what he had today:

6.30am- 7oz Formula
8am- 1 Oatabix and 1/2 a banana with Cows Milk
12pm- 1 slice of bread with humus, some cucumber given as finger food and a fruit pot
2.30pm- 7oz Formula
5pm- Pasta with tomato, sweetcorn and courgette and some natural yoghurt with 1/2 an organic raspberry oat bar sprinkled in
6.30pm- 6oz Formula

(water throughout the day from sippy cup)

Thoughts??

DS is nine months

He has had three bottles (six ounce)

Baby porridge for breakfast

Mash, carrots and cabbage for lunch

Pancake and cheese and some kiwi this evening

He is 98 percentile so we were advised to cut down on bottles too. They are checking his weight again soon. 91 percentile for height.

7mo DS2 had
Several bf's through the night.
Bf at 7
8am porridge
Bf x2
12.30 sweet potato and carrot mash, peach yoghurt and the crusts from DS1's toast
Bf x2
5.00 lentil and veg concoction and some Eton mess
Bf x4 (likes to tank up a bit before bed)

Ruby your DS2 sounds just like my DS1, even down to the bottle refusal. He's now 2.9 and will eat pretty much anything going (including half of DHs burger at lunchtime!) he never took to bottles very well so he'd feed like crazy off me when I got home from work (went back when he was 8mo).

DS 11 months (today!), somewhere between 50th and 75th %.

5am 6oz milk

8am 1 weetabix with chopped apricot, handful mixed fruit (strawberries, nectarine pieces, pear slices...trying to sort his constipation!)

10am 4oz milk

11.30am 3 carrot puff snacks

1pm Cauliflower, sweet potato and mashed potato

4pm 6oz milk

5.30pm Beef stew, more mash , cabbage, yoghurt

6.30pm 8oz milk and bed.

All except the fruit was spoon fed, he'll feed himself some bits but often just sticks stuff in his mouth then pulls it out again. Was hoping to be further along with finger foods, but he just gnaws bits off then spits it out. Unless it's bread or broccoli, some of which I think he does swallow.

I really, really hate weaning.

Nearly 9 month DD at about 25th centile so on smaller side and until recently not very interested in food at all.
7am 5oz milk
8am 1/2 weetabix with formula on
10am 5oz milk
12.30pm puréed fish finger mash and broccoli, banana and strawberry purée
2.30pm 5oz milk
5pm 1/2 Moroccan chicken Ella's pouch, yoghurt
6.30pm prob just under 5 oz milk

Boiled cooled water in a sippy cup at mealtimes.

I too really really really hate weaning, can't wait until she can eat exactly what we eat. Also not sure which bottle should go next, have an older DS but of course I now can't remember even slightly how we got to remaining 2 bottles morning and night and what age he was then.

What a reassuring thread. My DS is 9 months, dairy free. Has eaten a soya yogurt today. He is a boob monster.

I'm going to give him more picky dinners- he seems to enjoy gumming rather than food off a spoon (unless it's yogurt or sweet fruit puree). He has chicken, cucumber and peach for dinner today.

8 month old

06:30 - 7 oz milk

07:30 - baby porridge with mashed banana

I love to cook - I'm what you call a feeder..... My DS clamps those lips shut and won't even touch my food

Dd is almost 6 months.

5.30am bf
9am bf, followed by some baby porridge
10.30am bf
12pm nectarine purée
2pm bf
3.30pm bf
5.30pm bf, then a couple of strips of mango
7pm bf
8pm bf

I didn't realise I fed her so often, I just feed her when she seems hungry! Seems a lot when it's written down though

DD2 is 7mths and is so far going through a phase of not knnowing if she wants to eat from a spoon or by herself (and can get quite worked up while she makes her mind up)so we're doing a bit of both. It's also coinciding with us having a very stressful week so I haven't had much time to prep many 'meals' for her. Today we've been all over the place so not really in a proper day's routine and she has had:

8.00 - 6oz formula
8.30 - half a weetabix with a few raspberries squished in, and a finger of toast
12.00 - offered some curried carrot mash and some water - took a couple of mouthfuls of both
13.00 - offered some more carrot - she took some more mouthfuls, plus a couple of cucumber sticks, some cheese sticks, a finger of toast, half an apricot, some fingers of melon. Water
15.45 - 8oz milk
17.45 - toast with cream cheese, half a nectarine, a formage frais
19.00 - she'll have 8oz milk

Think we've been a bit toast-heavy today!!

Need to do better tomorrow but struggling with lunches when out and about - think we'll try cream cheese sandwiches although that's a bit bread-heavy again....

17 months

breakfast - slice of toast, handful of raspberries

lunch - handful of strawberries, carrot sticks, a small chunk of cheese, packet of fruit wriggles, box of raisins and a few mini cheddars

dinner - spaghetti in a veggie sauce, peach yogurt, a few milky bar buttons

DD1 -2.6 yrs
2 slices of toast with marmite, as much banana & pear as she can get. Water
Snack post dog walk, water & strawberries
Lunch - 1.5 mini pitta bread, sliced hard boiled egg, cheese sticks, cucumber sticks, 3 cherry tomatoes, sliced mushroom, strawberry, apple slices, couple of olives. Maybe more banana. Water
Water & perhaps 2 organix biscuits post dog walk
Dinner - prawn and pea risotto. Natural yogurt with chopped strawberries. Water
Water & half a banana at 9pm as she would not sleep DP's fault as he let her nap til 3.30. Idiot

DD2 -almost 7 mths
Breakfast - porridge with puréed fruit, 2/3 toast finger and banana fingers (most of toast/banana on floor/in dog)
Bf around 9am
Lunch - small bit of pitta, cucumber sticks, pear fingers, bit of fruit purée
Bf to sleep for long nap post lunch
Sometimes bf around 4/4.30.
Dinner - carrot/broccoli/parsnip fingers and then natural yogurt mixed with puréed fruit
Bf to sleep
Bf again somewhere between 11-1 depending on when wakes and again around 4/5 am.
I think most of her food ends up in the dog tbh. Not too worried about it as I know the milk is what has the fat/nutrients for her and am used to not knowing how much she takes in her feeds, but ugh, the mess, the waste, the dog swiping food from under the baby's feet...
