food quantities

[purple13]

ok - today was a pretty typical day re connor's food consumption. his cold's a bit better and he hasn't been quite so surgically attached to my boobs. i still think he eats quite a bit though his weight gain is as it should be, and he burns off calories constantly - does he really eat a lot, or is it just me?

breakfast:
baby bowl of 4 grain porridge with 1/2 packet of ella's kitchen peach & banana puree - bowl was probably about 3/4 full!

lunch:
about 3/4 baby bowl full of cheesy pasta, followed by 1/2 banana

dinner:
1/2 ella's kitchen chicken casserole (me & OH were having takeaway and i was too lazy to cook for connor ), followed by a whole rachel's baby yoghurt mixed with 3 tsps of porridge, followed by 1/2 banana


he's had 5 proper boob feeds on top of all of that, along with 3/4 snack boob feeds.

is this a lot??

I don't think that's a lot

It's about the same amount Lola eats. She is older than Connor but Connors a boy and Lola is quite small built. I wouldn't worry about it if he didn't want it he wouldn't eat it

That sound great hun xx

He's a growing boy and obviously enjoying his food along with his booby juice

I've found with leela - when she's had enough of food (or just a particular food), she throws it on the floor.

sounds about the same as Evie's diet to me...except she has 2 bottle feeds. One first thing and one last thing at night.

She's always munching in between meals....fruit, rice cakes, toast. Honestly she never bloomin stops!

If she's full she will just push the food away so I just keep the grub coming until she lets me know she doesn't want it! She's a healthy weight and now follows the 75th centile.

Ryan has fruit or rusk for breakfast and he has a puree for the evening and he also has finger food's throughout the day as and when, He would have 3 meals a day but he started gagging and throwing up so im waiting another couple of weeks. and he also drinks milk every 3-4 hours stil!! I dont think connors having to much, he's a growing boy and if he will eat that amount then thats good!
