Advice on weaning

kalouk · Aug 17th, 2009, 17:45 PM

Hi I wonder if anyone can help, Eva is 9 months and the first one of my kids to love her food, my other two were very picky, this has really thrown me. She would happily just have a bottle in the morning and evening but I am not sure how much or how often to feed her "normal" food. I know this may sound a bit silly and I know each child is different but could anyone tell me what their routine was at this stage, Thanks.

Hi hun, you may find this post answered a bit better in the Weaning & Nutrition section.

Oliver is 9 1/2 months and we started weaning just before 6 months.

He typically has:

Breakfast - porridge or cereal.
Mid morning - snack of fruit or breadstick
Lunch - sandwich or omlette and fruit. (Although yesterday he ate a dinner time meal and polished the lot off. Maybe I'm underfeeding him!)
Mid afternoon - snack i.e fruit or baby biscuit
Dinner - Meat and potato and vegetable dish (i.e bolognaise, chicken and potatoes etc).

He has a big breastfeed in the morning and one at bedtime.

You can't really overfeed a baby at this age, as they will just stop eating when they are full - end of!! So we just take Olivers cue. Some days he eats barely anything and somedays he eats us out of house and home!!!

Hope this helps!
