[suzib76]

apart from OMG 5 months already lol, what does everyones baby eat?

Lana starts with half a tin of porridge, and at about 7pm will have some pudding or a petit filous (she loves the ones with the stuff in the bottom) she also has 4 bottles a day - sometimes 8oz and other times she only takes 6oz

Ok so she's not 5 months, but we didnt start weaning properly till she was 5.5months
Evie has 2, sometimes 3 meals a day. She always has a lunch and a dinner, we're still working on breakfast lol! She also has 4 8oz bottles a day. She wont always drink the whole amount tho, but she averages around 28oz of formula a day

Anna is still on milk - she is happy with that and so am I.

She takes 4 or 5 bottles a day - about 25oz milk.

It is all quite scary moving on to solids but we eat a lot of veg so thats what she will be starting on.

At 5 mnths Omar went off his milk! He used to take less than 24 oz per day (3-4 bottles) with baby rice with/without fruits in the morning.

Rebecca has baby porridge in the morning with pureed apple or pear in it, then early evening she has some pureed veg (sometimes with baby rice in it). She is drinking 27 - 35 oz of milk per day still.

She doesn't eat a huge amount of solid food as yet but to be honest I'm not bothered about that until she's 6 months - I only weaned her early on the advice of the consultant to help with milk intake (we had reflux issues). It worked and she is now taking about 5oz more milk per day than before she was weaned!

We found that too! Once Evie was properly ready for solids, she suddenly wanted more milk!

I've not started weaning Erin yet, as she's still happy enough with her bottles, she's having about 32 oz a day.

Logan has

6am-7oz bottle
9am-bowl of porridge/yogurt with fruit
10am-7oz bottle
12pm-bowl of veg puree
1pm-7oz bottle
5pm-bowl of dinner (normally what we have)
7pm- 7oz bottle

We started weaning early on advice and he is now loving it! If i miss a meal he will scream until he gets it!!

So far Carmen's still just on her formula, she has shown no interest in food whatsoever. She's all over the place with amounts & times, she doesn't like to eat her whole meal in one go!

 

[xerinx]

Logan tries to steal our food! He tries to feed himself and gets excited everytime he sees his bowl! Its sooo funny!!

Thomas is having 5 breastfeeds, 2 bottles of formula and playing with some puree once a day! We've been trying baby rice & fruit purees for about 3 weeks now but he's still very much at the spit it down the chin stage at the moment!
