Plz tell me if the way I am feeding my son is right or wrong!

[suzan]

So, I just dont know if what I am doing is right or wrong.
I have read that in every meal, baby should have milk. But this is what has been going on since we started solids:

6am - has around 8oz of formula milk

Goes back to sleep

around 9.30am has fruit puree in this: https://www.olivers-baby-care.co.uk/common/includes/show_image.asp?file=/gallery/products%2011/tommee-tippee-storage-1_main.jpg&width=173&height=138 and I offer him milk, but he hasnt much.

Then at 12:30pm - 1pm, he has lunch - its always vegetable puree - he has around 4-5 cubes (is this a lot?) he has it all most of the times!!
He looks full so I dont offer milk - just offer water.

At around 4pm - he has a bottle and usually drinks around 6-7oz.

At 6.30pm - I give him rice cereal mixed with a fruit, not always, but most of the times..

at 8pm - give him a bottle drinks around 6-7oz.

Am I doing something wrong? Please advice girls!

I always thought you were meant to offer water with food not milk.

Sounds good to me.

Just go with whatever works for you and your LO hun

Brooke still has milk with her meals, and until she decides she doesnt want it anymore then she can have it

Looks good to me hun. Oliver still has milk, but thats because he refuses anything but booby! I give him a sippy cup with water in for every meal, but it just hasn't clicked yet!
