10 month old... cleft palate repair...eats ALOT!

XO notorious · Aug 19th, 2009, 14:35 PM

Hi everyone...my 10 month old jus had her cleft palate repair and I've noticed she eats a lot more than anyone else her age...she's a little over 27" and 17 pounds. Here's her day...
730am - 5oz formula
9am- 8oz of fruit (2 stage 2 jars)
10am- 7oz veg (e stage 2 containers)
11am-8oz yogurt(2 yobaby yogurts)
12pm- 8oz veg (2stage 2 jars)
1pm- 7oz fruit (2 stage 2 containers)
2pm- 5oz formula
Nap from 215-430pm
430pm- 5oz formula
530pm-8oz 2 stage 2 jars dinner
630pm- 7oz veg/fruit (2 containers)
730pm- 8oz veg
830pm-5 oz formula and bed til 730am

Now her doctor is not concerned and has said she is a model baby, both health wise, and face wise...it seems like she likes solids more then formula! Also I've heard she's makin up for lost time...cause of her cleft palate, she was on high calorie formula to keep her weight up...now that its repaired, she loves eating...and no I'm not over feeding her, she wants it...and tells me when she's full...although I now limit her to 8oz per hour at most...also she is 50th percentile for height and weight...keep in mind I'm in the US and its different here...so anyone with a little knowledge on both eating after cleft repair and eating aloooot please reply! Thanks everyone!
