After my last post, http://www.pregnancyforum.co.uk/forum/v ... highlight=
we went back to just milk for a while with Imogen. Then we re-introduced the baby rice and built up to other foods (as we had done before she had tummy bug and then cold). Anyway, she is doing soooo well. Here is a typical day...
7-7.30 awake!
8/8.30 Breakfast, - porridge with 2 cubes of apple and mixed with formula milk (I make food, put in ice cubes then freeze) and offered 7oz of milk - she'll take about 4oz
12/12.30 Lunch - 2 cubes of veg and baby rice mixed with milk - 7oz offered, she'll take about 4oz again
3 pm - bottle 7oz offered - she'll take 4-5 oz
6 pm tea - potato and veg (4 cubes) mixed with some formula milk and 7oz offered - she'll take 4-5 oz
11 pm ish 7oz bottle offered - she'll take 4-6oz
My question - do you think LO is getting enough milk? I know lots of people post about this (I am no different...a worrier!)
I am wondering whether I should offer a bottle about 10/10.30 am (between breakfast and lunch) and make lunch a bit later?
Also, we are wasting quite a bit of milk....should we start making 6oz again???
What do you all think?
Also, we know she eats a lot of things, apple, pear, potato, sweet potato, carrot, parsnip, butternut squash ... should I just start offering some new stuff (like broccoli) which has a more distinct taste now?
Would you offer it alone, or with potato etc. We've always introduced new tastes with rice or potato to just let LO become familiar with it, before giving it in a more concentrated way, IYKWIM.
