So a couple of (possibly stupid) questions
Aaron is doing really well with his solids (he's just turned 7 months)
He's taking 3 meals per day - like follows
Breakfast - 1 x weetabix or 3 heaped tbs readybrek with EBM
Lunch 2 oz of puree - usually pasta, chicken, potato and veg or similar, followed by 2 oz fruit puree
Dinner 2oz of puree (as above) followed by 2oz fruit puree
He's still taking 4 x 6-7oz bottles a day (he's still fussy with them at times and they can be a bit of a fight, but generally going well with his milk)
He doesn't seem to be satisfied with his food anymore. I've given him a mid afternoon snack the last couple of days (finger foods like organix carrot sticks or biscotti) and he's devoured them (if i hold them for him)
This afternoon i realised I had no fruit puree left so I quickly cut up an apple, quickly softened it on the hob and mashed it with a fork rather than puree - it was quite lumpy and he managed fine.
So my question is really - where do I go from here?
Should I be giving him more than 2 oz of proper food for lunch and dinner (I only have 2oz storage pots
)
Really stupid question - how do I make proper food lumpy? Do I just cut up the chicken really really small then mash the rest with a fork or something?
I feel really stupid, but I genuinely don't have a clue!
