Quantity & Cows Milk

[WiFiWhizzJustCallMeaGeek]

Hi

My dd will be 1 year at the end of the month.

She's a fantatsic eater (I'm very lucky!) and is still bf. I have been keeping her off cows milk and hard cheese but she has yoghurt and other things with milk/cheese as an ingredient.

A typcial menu for the day would be:

Breakfast: cereal, toast, fruit
snack: rice cake/moon biscuit
lunch: hip organic stage 3 jar (12 or 15 months)
2 items of fruit (eg:strabws/kiwi)
snakc: rice cake/moon biscuit/alpabet biscuit
tea: home cooked meat/fish/chicken, veg and potatoe/rice/pasta, yoghurt, banana, moon biscuit

she drinks a full TommeTippe straw type bottle of water per day and bfs several times per day as well.

i think this is heaps but she is often still hungry after lunch but i'm not sure how or even if i should increase her portions.

also, as she turns 1 i intend to introduce more dairy. should i offer her drinks of milk or stick to the water and bf?

TIA and sorry it's a bit long!

At one as far as I'm aware she can eat pretty much the same as everyone else (did I miss something with hard cheese?)

I would say if she's hungry then definitely give her something else to eat!

My youngest is 3 so I'm trying to remember back to what she was eating, and it sounds fairly similar apart from lunch. I'm reasonably sure that DD was having little sandwiches, but then again she was a pita and hated being fed, so I had to give her pretty much everything as finger food. So, I 'm sure she would have had a half round of (say) grated cheese sandwich, cut into fingers plus some cucumber, tomato and fruit of some sort. I have no idea what stage 3 jars are like but maybe she could have something in addition that takes a little longer to digest, like bananas or bread?

hi

thanks for the response.

good idea about sandwiches, dd is a complete bread head and would love a sandwich alongside the jar.

tbh i'm not keen on the jars, they just seem to all be a thick version of veg soup LOL. but they are convenient especially when you're on the move.

thanks again.
