The girl can put away some amount of food! Over the course of 24hrs, she has 4 bottles, usually drinks 4oz in the morning and afternoon, 7oz at bedtime and 6oz night feed. All of her bottles are 6oz during the day but she isn't interested. Here is an example of a typical day (yesterday)
6am - 4oz milk
7.30am - porridge and banana, 1/2 slice toast
10.30am - yoghurt
12pm - lunch (baked potato with ccheese/beans/coleslaw) and some tomatoes and cucumber
1.30pm - 4oz bottle
3.30pm - 3 grapes (chopped into little bits so it looks like a lot but not really) as a small handful of Ella's kitchen puffs
5.30pm - dinner: chicken in arribata (sp?) sauce, peas and pasta.
7.15pm - 7oz milk
She eats everything... Never anything left but doesn't want milk. If anybody else is eating, she whinges haha so I end up giving her half a breadstick to munch so she doesn't get annoyed!
It seems like an awful lot for a 7 month old! Does it sound okay?
She has followed the 50th centile since birth and is still bang on the line, so she's not gaining excessively... Although she is quite short so a wee bit chubby
Should I just keep going?
