My DD is coming up to 10 months and has been weaning for almost 4 months. She has 3 meals a day and I now also try to give her a snack or two throughout the day too.
I of course acknowledge that every baby is different but just worry at times that she's not getting enough or that I maybe offer her too much so would be grateful for your thoughts.
For breakfast she mostly has the Aptamil creamy porrige and I tend to mash a few big chunks of banana into it, or I will chop some dried apricots, steam/boil them, blitz them and add that to the porrige.
Lunchtime tends to be her 'main' meal (i.e. she will have a proper meal), which is generally always home cooked meals (I tend to use Annabel Karmel recipes). A 'portion' for her will be around 2-3 tablespoons, sometimes she will have most of it, other times maybe only half a dozen baby spoonfuls.
Dinner I try to do BLW things so I might give her eggy bread toast fingers, Dairylea toast fingers (both of which she generally only manages 2 fingers maximum). I might also do sweet mash and put a bit of cheddar or Dairylea in it. Sometimes I'll give her some veg and humus. Sometimes I will give her another home cooked meal that's been frozen.
After lunch and dinner she has 'pudding' which is generally an Ella's Kitchen fromage frais - which she LOVES!
Recently I have intorduced rice cakes which she seems to like, and also rusks (which I never thought I'd bother with but they seem to go down well).
She's not that fussed when it comes to pieces of fruit. I will put a slice of mango or cantaloupe melon in front of her for example and she just plays with it! She's more likely to take it if its pureed.
I guess what I feel unconfident with is a) her portion size; b) when to give her things like grapes/raisens/blueberries etc - they are soooo small they worry me!; and c) when should she drop a milk feed? She has 4 milk feeds a day, 6oz each one, although mostly she has a bit less than that.
Thank you
