This is what Becky has and it's been pretty much the same since she was about 6 and a half months.

7am - 7oz bottle

9am - Breakfast - usually porridge with stewed fruit or mini weetabix (with full fat milk) with chopped up banana

12.30pm - Milk in a cup or 7oz bottle if she's having milk earlier and lunch - usually bread/toast/pitta/french toast with some sort of filling like humous, cheese or cheese spread. Then she has either yoghurt or some fruit.

Occasionally a snack at 2pm like an Organix rusk or rice cakes

4pm - 7oz bottle

5pm - dinner. She usually has what we do which can be something like spag bol (which has lots of hidden veg), roast chicken and veg, risotto, cottage pie, macaroni cheese or omlette. She usually has a pudding which is whichever she didn't have at lunchtime. I also give her a cup of water but she doesn't drink much.

7pm - 7oz bottle

I would just keep trying with the finger foods. It may take a wee while for her to get the idea that it's food and not for playing with but she'll get to know all about taste, texture and exploring the food. We went from Becky eating pureed food to finger food only at just before 6 months and we really haven't looked back.

We got told by the HV (who's really good) to get her to take at least 500-600ml of milk until she's a year as it's still the main source of calories and nutrition until then. We just make sure we give her milk before food as before she'd eat and then not want milk

Have you tried the cheap tommee tippee cups? We could only get her to drink from the free flowing ones, not the anti spill ones with valves. She just couldn't seem to get the sucking right but is fine when the milk or water comes out by itself and she knows to tip it up. You could also try just using an open cup or tumbler which is fine but messy

Yeah we tried with an open cup and one of those pea catcher type plastic bibs. She just ended up with a reservoir of milk in the catchy bit

If DD has the equivalent of a heaper teaspoon of food in one day then she has had a lot. I'm not sure how much milk she is having as she keeps dropping the amount and leaving a couple of oz. About the same as Poppy I think.

Everyone has different appetites, don't worry
