Canned Food Babies....

Oooh, and perhaps if you could tie your answers into your feeding routine too? We're just so 'unnormal' that I just don't know what things are normal!!

Joel has

7.15am porridge and a whole mashed banana for breakfast (or about the same amount of fruit, I just wizz a can of normal fruit and use that) 

 8.30  - 220mls bottle                                                                                                               he now seems to be dropping his morning sleep so at about 10.30 I give hima cruskit or gingernut as a snack 

11.30 lunch - nomally 1/2 a sammie with marmite (have tried other spreads but hes not a fan!) 1/2 a kiwifruit, either cruskit or gingernut depending on what he had for a snack, and a yogurt (just a normal adult yogurt, never tried the baby ones)     

12.30 220ml bottle then try for a sleep, on a good day that goes till 3.30, today only lasted 45 mins

4.30 dinner - some vege and meat, normally left over from our dinner the night before, sometimes he eats this other times he has custard and fruit, or he does he one of the big only organics junior range mango rice pudding (yes he eats the whole thing and has done since about 8 months!!) he loves scrambled egg with frozen peas (still frozen not cooked!) and last night had frozen berries as well. 

6.00 bedtime bottle 250ml

most of the time he finishes all his bottles but if he leaves any its only about 40 mls. we dropped the 4th bottle at about 8 months and had changed to food first at 6 1/2 months (very early I know)

You probably didn't really want to know what my wee piggy of a man will eat but thats an average day for us.

Yeah...he has always eaten alot I think, Leah at the same age was eating about half the amount but she was a slack eater and I was quite paranoid about food then, have loosened up a lot since then.

Somedays he will eat hardly anything and other days its non stop.

When he first started solids, by the end of the first week he was on a full jar of fruit/veg per meal, 3 meals a day....none of the gentle lead into solids here!

Soph is a good eater but still pretty tough getting milk into her, she will take food over milk any day!

7.30 brekky porridge + 3T fruit 1/3-2/3 piece of toast, a lot goes on the floor!
9.30 offer 240ml milk, usually has 150ml or so
10.30 snack, usually some fruit.
10.45-1ish nap
1ish lunch, bout 1/2cup of something generally fruit or vege, then a cruskit with spread. If we are out somewhere she will usually have a large jar of the only organics fruit flavoured something.
3ish milk - very variable what she will take, today 100ml, yesterday 200ml!
4ish snack if she seems hungry, made banana biscotti so she has that at the mo
4.30 maybe a nap
5 dinner probably 1/2-3/4cup food, maybe some finger food as well
6.30 or so milk again who knows how much she will have!

Soph is dairy free so hence no yoghurts etc, makes lunch a bit hard sometimes. I generally spoon feed her something shen give finger food so she can eat till she is full. When she starts biffing the food al over the show and loses interest I figure she is full.

Hope that helps some what.

Jake ate about 1.5-2 jars per main meal at that age plus finger food and 2 snacks, and 3x milk feeds ... but he was a guts!
