Your big babies. What are they eating?

Sounds good. DD while 21 months only began solids 4-5 months ago. She gets 30-36oz of formula a day [mixed for toddler] and 2-3 solid meals - she's 26lbs too.

Thanks for sharing, I thought I was the only one. I'm getting sick of my FIL's girlfriend bitching at me that he needs more juice and less milk, why would I do that I don't even drink juice myself as I think it's crap.

The only reason DD gets pear juice as I'd rather give her juice to help her poop than medication. DD needs 'free water' for her digestive system also and I'll give her 5oz of water and 2 of juice. We have to thicken all her liquids - imagine trying to drink honey thick water. I cannot blame her for thinking it's gross.

DS was nearly 4 before he began drinking juice regularly.

Evan is quite big - 22lbs last weigh in 3weeks ago and 98th centile for height.

He drinks about 35oz milk a day
Breakfast: 1 weektabix or similar amount of ready brek and fruit
Lunch: toast/sandwich, fruit and salad fingers, boiled egg etc
Dinner: a good portion of our food, fruit and yoghurt

He will eat your arm off given a chance!

Wonder what your hv would say about him?!?

That doesn't sound like too much at all! Ivy usually has

B: 1 slice of toast with jam and a piece of fruit
a morning snack of raisins or a baby biscuit
L: some kind of sandwhich with cucumbers and tomatoes, sometimes a yoghurt
another afternoon snack of fruit
D: whatever we eat and then more fruit!

Ignore the dumb HV!
