3 Meals a day advice

[Bloom]

DD has been on breakfast and dinner for a while now and i want to start her on lunch now too i was just wondering what sort of food are you giving for lunch.

Breakfast 9.30 - porridge/cereal - sometimes with some fruit mixed in.

Lunch hopefully about 1

Dinner 5-6 - puree of veg but as of today shes going onto meat & fish with veg.

I was thinking of giving finger foods for lunch what do you think?

Go for it! She'll be great at it I'm sure. Becky usually has something sandwichy like toast with something on top (cheese, fruit puree or humous) or pitta or rice crackers followed by a dessert of fruit in sticks or a yoghurt.

Evie daily routine goes something like this

6am - 7oz bottle
7am - porridge or weetabix with full fat milk + toast
12pm - stage 2 jar or food I've made + yoghurt
4pm - stage 2 jar or food I've made + finger foods (usually fruit, occasionally organix biscuit)
6.30pm - 9oz bottle

I tend to give her plenty of finger foods during the day. Evie knows when she's eaten enough and certainly lets me know about it!

For us, if Ella has her first bottle with OH at 70am/7:30am. she will have lunch at 12:30. Either home-made food or the dry heinz stuff that you mix with hot water if I haven't got anything defrosted. If she doesn't have a bottle until 9:30am she will have lunch at 1:30.
