All of the time, I think my LO should be eating more than he is. I kid myself sometimes that he is eating more, by eating some of his food etc! He has even lost weight, which did worry me tbh but I tried my hardest to trust him. (he dropped from the 90th to 75th percentile)

Only in the last week or so do I think that he has gotten the hang of eating. He now seems to understand what it is all about, and it is he who got the jist, not us forcing it upon him iykwim! I think - trust your instincts, your LO is no fool, he'll get it eventually

BTW, thought I'd add, I only recently added breakfasts back in again, as before that, C didn't care for them much. It was too stressful. Now though, he lets me know when he wants it. I am slowly (very slowly) getting used to his hungry cues!

Some babies r not big eaters hun. Omar is on the 90th percentile & I spoon feed him only real food. 2 tsps of yoghurt with 1/2 banana is a main meal for him. He doesnt eat snacks, & even when I give him finger food, he throws it as he's more interested in playing. The only proper meal he eats is lunch, but he's fuzzy & after 3-4 baby spoons, he gets distracted & refuses to eat. Today I tried to give him kidney beans stew with rice, & he only ate 3 baby spoons before shaking his head, & saying "Na", then started to try & get out of his high chair. He's also not a big drinker & would go for 15-18 oz in 24 hrs. He's not abit picky, & the only food he doesnt fuzz when he eats are yoghurt, pasta & spinach.

ETA: he only takes 3 meals & 3 bottles with no snacks
