DD is coming up to 8 months, we started BLW properly at 25 weeks and she took to it really well immediately. Ridiculously well (I know we're very lucky )
I'm pretty sure you can't, but just need some reassurance really that it's not possible to over feed a baby if they're BLWing? Particularly since despite eating a lot, she seems reluctant to cut out milk feeds (though is drinking less than before). Yesterday she ate;
8- 4oz milk
Then half an individual packet of porridge, a babybel and a whole apple
10- a satsuma and a whole pear
12.30- 1 slice of bread with soup, half a slice of bread as an open sandwich with tuna, grated carrot and yoghurt on. Half a banana and yoghurt.
1- 5 oz milk (she doesn't always have this milk feed, about half the time she doesn't ask for it so I don't give it.)
4- 3-4oz milk and a satsuma
6- mini dinner with roast sweet potato, butternut squash, veggies, salmon. Half a banana and yogurt
8- 7 oz milk
She also still has a night feed of 4-5 oz.
Looking back over that it seems like a stuipid amount of food for a tiny baby! Should I be doing anything differently? Maybe offering her a different snack instead of fruit in the morning like breadsticks/ peanut butter?
And, OT, where has the beginners BLW thread gone?!
TIA
