Today tom has eaten,

B - Banana and Strawberry porridge, some kiwi fruit, banana
L - garlic bread with cheese and bit of daddy's burger at the resturant
D - Toast with a heinz chicken and veg mix on top, some satsuma and kiwi fruit and a fromage frais.

Tom is trying lots of different things and is definatly eating more now (he's 8 months) but he still doesn't actually eat very much of anything and still has 4 bottles of milk a day - he's only dropped 1 feed since we started weaning 2 months ago. My health visitor is keen for me to reduce his milk to get him to eat more but I don't want to rush him and get into battles trying to force him to take more. Plus I don't want him to start waking in the night because he's hungry.

People with older babies - when did they really start reducing their milk intake??? Should I be worried yet that he's still on 4 lots of milk at 8 months?

 

[Mum2b_Claire]

Ruby had only just come down to 4 bottles at 8 months. I never reduced her milk to get her eat more (she was a slow-ish starter) I reduced them when I thought she would be happy to go without them...

 

[hattiehippo]

Mum2b_Claire - thanks so much for that. I'm hoping that the fact that he's showing more interest in food now means he's going to start eating more going forward

 

[Mary Jo]

Adam had:

b: a Weetabix and 4 mini Shredded Wheats with milk, almost a whole peach
l: a chunk of baguette with butter and cheese, a couple of OH's chips (we had a picnic in Whitstable), raisins
d: a home-made mini quiche (made in muffin tins so really small) and a small piece of the normal quiche (broccoli & cheese with olive and tomato), a little bit of jacket potato (he's gone off these lately ), some cucumber and tomato, raisins

 

[Mum2b_Claire]

Ruby won't eat jacket potatoes now either Mary Jo. However if I make hers into wedges instead, and just put the fillings on the side, she LOVES it! Weird...

Ruby won't eat jacket potatoes now either Mary Jo. However if I make hers into wedges instead, and just put the fillings on the side, she LOVES it! Weird...

well, I tried this, made wedges tonight and - nope. still on jacket potato strike. guess he needs a break from them. or maybe he just wasn't so hungry because he ate quite a lot during the day...

l: 2 buttered home-made drop scones, 2 chunks of cheese, dried cranberries, prunes

Today:

B: Ready brek & banana (only ate a tiny bit)
L: Tin of tomato pasta kiddie's stuff (was at grannys), yoghurt, a blueberry, quarter breadstick
S: Heinz biscotti & innocent kids smoothie stick (yum! thanks for the tip, he loves these and they are surprisingly not that messy either, he ate his in his pram)
D: Green pesto pasta with tuna, tomato and sweetcorn - refused. All he would eat was sticks of cucumber and another innocent smoothie stick.

I think LO is teething again - but the back teeth this time. Are there any teething friendly finger foods?? I think the cooler, the better..

For teething, I have a friend that swears by cucumber fingers as they are juicy and cooling. I can't speak from experience as Bun still has no teeth!!

 

[sun]

Just a question - how/when did you all introduce peanut butter? I eat tons of nuts/nut butters including peanut butter, so I think Bun has had some exposure - but there is so much buzz about waiting until 2 or 3 years that I am a bit freaked out about it. We are thinking of driving to the hospital parking lot and sharing a pb sandwich LOL...

 

[jenny82]

I know about the cucumber one, but thats it! Thats pretty much all he had for dinner lol

Hes fussy about some fruits and doesn't eat that much anyway so thats out. I also feel a bit bad bringing back plain, boring, old cold veggies after giving him exciting things for so long

 

[TennisGal]

S: cup of smoothie (then demanded a BF straight after!)
L: cod in chive sauce, sweet potato mash, courgettes, yoghurt, strawberry
S: small piece of homemade flapjack
