how much milk and food???

[rach]

hi all at the moment christopher is having
7am porridge and 7-8oz bottle
11:30am pureed meat and veg and 6oz bottle
3pm pureed fruit and yoghurt and 6oz bottle
7pm 8oz bottle before bed
everyone keeps saying i should be increasing his food at lunch and tea and giving him juice or water instead of milk and just give him milk in morning and night any advice would be great xxxxx

thanks for replying hun
to be honest hes so happy and settled the way things are and is slowly eating more by himself and drinking less milk as he has his food first so sod the family am just going to let him do it when hes ready at the moment he really enjoys having his bottle after his food so will keep the milk up till he is only drinking a few ounces at lunch and tea then swap it for juice/water xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

D has

milk first thing.

breakfast usually a petit felous about 10- 11.30 never seems to be bothered if i give it him earlier
milk is really on demand through the day still
lunch a piece of fruit pureed
tea ofter jar of savory or mix of jar and home cooeked ...Doen't much like my home cooked food

then he has supper at 8.30...

D doesn't have any water but then i am still trying to get him to drink from doidy cup and only has about 1oz of m,ilk a day

i generally give D what he wants ..If you Think Christopher is doing fine as he is and is still gaining weight then do what you think is right.

mom knows best
