I feel like my daughter is maybe getting too much milk and not enough food. Does this sound okay?
Also, she is allergic to cows milk so I worry about her getting enough calcium, which is probably why she has so many bottles. I cant face making our dinners with the formula or almond/soya milk and I'm already cooking two meals each night so don't make different for her. I'm going to work full-time as of Thursday (eek!)
She's nearly 10 months and is pretty average size wise. Here is her typical daily food.
Breakfast: 6oz bottle of milk, half of the milk poured into cereal (Weetabix, rice crispies or porridge) and then usually a piece of fruit (tangerine, small banana, or similar) or a slice of toast, dairy free butter, some avocado and a few cherry tomatoes.
Lunch:
Handful of small shell pasta, handful of frozen peas, small tin of tuna. Or something similar but that's her favourite. 3-4oz of milk.
Snack:
Small sugar free jelly pot, tinned fruit, a banana, 2 party rings or a slice of toast with peanut butter. If she has an unhealthy option at this snack, she has a healthy one at her later snack and vice versa. 6oz milk.
Dinner:
Whatever we are having, unless it has dairy in it. If it has dairy we give her a whole jar of baby food, or something like the tuna pasta if we have some made up and she didn't eat it at lunch. She drinks water.
Snack: As above with 6oz milk.
