What did your lo eat today? (TW & BLW)

Forums New posts
Lewis had Ellas kitchen plum, pair, parsnip and swede I tasted it too cos I thought it'd be gross but it was the tastiest one yet Lewis couldn't get enough. He also had a few bits of my spicy (not hot spicy but tasty spiced) rice. He's doing well.
 
Can I ask you mums how much milk are your LOs having in a day alongside solids?

My LO has 620mls in a day because I stress about her getting enough calcium for her bones etc and 500-600mls a day is recommended.

Her meals are:

Breakfast - Organix Porridge or 1 Weetabix or she's now tried plain Multigrain Cheerios which she loves. Her 240 mls of milk at this time is drank by her and some used for the cereal.

Snack - Petit filous with 120mls milk

Lunch - Sandwich (could be peanut butter, dairy lea, chicken, cheese) or Beans on Toast or Fish fingers and beans, or a jar of food and a fruit pot and drink of water

Snack - Organix Rice crackers and drink of water

Dinner - Could be a jar of food, or what we're eating such as chicken and pasta and nasn bread etc and drink of water

Bedtime - 240 ml milk

Sometimes she has more milk in the day and snacks are different or changed around but the above is a typical day. I need inspiration for giving her different foods and reassurance that she's getting enough!
 
Phoebe is having 4 7oz bottles a day. She was on 6 but has dropped 2 bottles. We've only just introduced the third meal. As long as she's having some milk and seems satisfied I'd say its okay :) x
 
Sophie has had 25oz of milk today, pear porridge for breakfast with some buttery toast and for tea she's had butternut squash purée with some rice pudding for dessert :)
 
Angel is on 32oz of milk a day in 4 x 8oz bottles.

She's had today one bottle and wheaty flakes for breakfast
I tried her on an Ellas kitchen pouch and gave her the beef stew one, she had half for lunch and half for dinner and some mango and an organix biscuit :) plus about half an ounce of baby juice and about 2oz of water from her beaker :) xx
 
Today Phoebe had -

Breakfast - Porridge with half a mashed banana in it
Lunch - Pumpkin, Sweetcorn & Peas (Ella's kitchen sachet) she had half of this.
Dinner - Brocolli, Cheese and Potato puree (Homemade)
And an Apple, Plum and Pear Fruit pot
 
Angel has had a lot for breakfast this morning. I was really confused as to whether or not I should be giving her less milk at each feed or let her drop one naturally. Usually her bottles are around 6am, 10am, 2pm and 6pm and I feed her breakfast at 7/8am, lunch at 12pm and tea 4.30/5pm and found she wasn't taking a lot. It worked out that she was due a bottle at 9am this morning so I held off her breakfast till 8.15 and she had 2 bowls of wheaty flakes (3oz of formula with it), 3 slices of banana and 2 toast fingers, that's loads for her and she only took 4oz of her 8oz bottle so I'm dead chuffed feel like we've made some progress today :) xx

Breakfast: A big bowl of ready brek & some water

Angel has just had some sweet potato and a carrot crisp stick for lunch, again she only had 6oz so think she's starting to eat more and drop her milk herself :) xx

I wondered at first whether I should drop any Phoebe's feeds but I think as you say they just do it naturally, they'll let us know if they're having too much or too little :)

Today -

Breakfast - Porridge and mashed banana
Lunch - The rest of her Ella's kitchen sachet - Pumpkin, Sweetcorn and Peas
Snack - Yoghurt
Dinner - Cottage Pie (Jar) and then a whole fruit pot!

Dinner: Pasta bolognese & a fromage frais & juice

Yesterday Francesca had:

2 pancakes for breakfast with about 10oz of milk about an hour later (pancakes finger food until she got bored and i had to put it in her mouth for her)

Lunch was quorn sausage and garlic mash with vegetable gravy, with a petit filous afterwards and a heinz biscotti as finger food

Then around 3ish another full bottle of milk plus a bit more, and a bit of what were having for a snack so a bit of a sandwich, fruit etc

Then for tea either something that i have cooked if we have an early tea, usually spagetti bolognaise, pizza or something (we usually have our tea when she is in bed otherwise its carnage) and then a pudding and a biscuit

then milk before bed...

Finger foods we just tend to give them her whenever really just not right before a meal (well i try and stick to this but my OH doesnt :)
