It makes me nervous, too so she only gets very soft things and teeny tiny pieces. Meat makes me especially nervous because it's so hard to chew and dry. She's still nursing a ton, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2014730 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 08:54:03 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2014730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never enough :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2014663 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 07:43:41 +0000 Dandelion 2014663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: how many teeth does your LO have? M just has one tooth, so I find it hard to trust him, even though deep down I know he wohld be fine.</p> <p>For breakfast he eats a cereal bar or waffle and maybe some puffs and yogurt.</p> <p>For lunch we'll either do a puree or a grilled cheese sandwich. He will get some sort of fruit.</p> <p>For dinner he gets a pouch and some of the veggies we're eating. I don't trust that he can eat meat very well, but I do let him try it if I feel like it's soft enough.</p> <p>He nurses all day everyday. I think it's going to be tough to wean this one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2012966 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 22:26:38 +0000 ShootingStar 2012966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D is 13.5 months and he been totally on solids since right before his birthday. I think he didn't really get into solids until around 9 months though.</p> <p>On a typical day he eats:</p> <p>Breakfast 1 with me - banana and sippy of milk<br /> Breakfast 2 at daycare - yogurt (container of yobaby)<br /> Lunch - some sort of protein (today was rotisserie chicken), a veggie (home puree or roasted squash or something), a mandarin orange cup, and a sippy of milk<br /> Snack - WCM mozzarella stick and pouch<br /> Dinner - Usually whatever we're eating. Unless he has a total meltdown like tonight due to teething. Tonight he ate a few bites of our pasta and chicken, some puffs, a yogurt, a few sips of a pouch and a banana. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2012482 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 17:05:54 +0000 sailgrl18 2012482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is a big eater but only purees. </p> <p>Breakfast: 1 yobaby cup, 1 pancake<br /> Lunch - 1 4oz jar of puree, 1 3.5 oz pouch<br /> Dinner - 1 3.5 oz pouch, 1/2 4 oz jar of puree<br /> Snack - 1 stonyfield farm 6oz yogurt smoothie, handful of puffs, 2 baby rice cakes, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2012445 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 16:44:14 +0000 anonysquire 2012445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Skadi: ya, we've tried every food so far. Well not honey of course. But no choking incidents yet. But then again, I'm always right next to her when she eats. So I would be able to assist if anything did happen.

I slice them and she makes a giant juicy mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2011160 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 23:28:18 +0000 littlejoy 2011160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I won't know until Friday, but I assume she's between 22-25 pounds, and nearly 30 inches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2011134 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 22:38:59 +0000 fussygal 2011134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow - it's so interesting to see these answers. I was curious because as I feed DD I always wonder what is "normal." I just feed her until she refuses and she's been scarfing down a LOT lately. I'm so shocked because she's just started warming up to food in the past few weeks and it's totally new territory for me.</p> <p>She's 9 months and we do:<br /> - Breakfast: Pieces of fruit like banana (maybe 1-2 inches) and bites of my oatmeal. Sometimes 1/2 to a full pouch of fruit. Some puffs (like 5-10, ha).<br /> - Lunch: I'm mostly focusing on giving her breakfast and dinner right now so lunch is usually just small bits of whatever I'm eating.<br /> - Dinner: Bites of whatever we're eating and 1/2 to a full pouch of food, or some pieces of avocado.</p> <p>@Anagram: I love oatmeal and always feel like my servings are HUGE, too! ;)</p> <p>@HabesBabe: Interesting about the teething crackers - I didn't know about the constipation! My main takeaway from those was that they are SO MESSY and STICKY (are they made of glue???), but she loves them!</p> <p>@Leah: Ditto -with nursing and eating solids 2-3 times a day it feels like she's ALWAYS eating. Not idea where I'd regularly fit in a snack until breastfeeding lets up.</p> <p>@twodoghouse: I think it's totally normal! Your LOs are about 1.5 months younger than my DD and we were in the exact same boat at that time. Some days she'd refuse everything and the days she did eat it was an ounce if we were very lucky. I wanted her to like food SO much (because um, it's delicious! Come on baby, get with it!) and I was super discouraged, but she randomly started coming around and it's gone from 0-60 in just a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2011110 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 22:20:40 +0000 Skadi 2011110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: How the heck is your kid eating apples? My LO is 11 months and only has two teeth, I can't imagine her eating something as tough as that. But maybe I'm overly fearful of choking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2011045 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 21:46:01 +0000 twodoghouse 2011045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Thanks. I know you're right, but I'm also stressed about it. Ahh, I just need to relax. Especially since I know he is growing well and he's meeting other milestones just fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2011017 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 21:32:58 +0000 Mae 2011017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: i think there may be a bit of selection bias going on here. I feel like I've seen lots of people say their kids weren't that interested in solids until closer to a year. I really don't think kids *need* that nutrition until closer to a year and they all just go at their own pace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2011008 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 21:24:09 +0000 twodoghouse 2011008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids are 8 months and every other day or so they have about an oz of purées. We're limited to a couple things because they aren't interested in much. And eating more than once in a day causes huge discomfort over night. I sort of feel like something is wrong after reading this thread. :bummed: I guess I will bring it up with our ped again at their 9 month appt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2010951 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 20:54:07 +0000 Mamasig 2010951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS2-almost 8 months<br /> Breakfast - little bowl of oatmeal<br /> Lunch and dinner - 1-2 stage 2 purées<br /> He'll also try a little bit of whatever we are eating like pancakes, burgers, avocado, etc. </p> <p>DS1 - 2 years old (almost 28 months)<br /> Totally varies. Some days he barely eats and other days he eats a ton. This started happening around the time he turned 2. He used to consistently eat a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2010936 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 20:48:43 +0000 CakeLady 2010936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E is 7 months, he was eating 1 cube (of an ice cube tray) of fruit or veg purée and 1 Tbs of oatmeal at dinner time and about the same amount for breakfast. Then after two bouts of teething and two ear infections he was refusing all food. Tonight he ate part of three slices of pear which was a major victory :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2010934 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 20:48:18 +0000 littleblessings 2010934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS will be 1 on the 23rd and doesn't like purees at all. He never has. He only likes adult foods and nursing. He eats whatever I eat and however much he wants. I don't limit or measure. Prolly about 1/2 at every meal. Still nursing 90% of the time.</p> <p>DD is 2 now and loved purees when she was 6 months to a year. She still asks for them now sometimes. She is very picky and eats less than her brother unless it's cheese. Lol. She would eat a lb of cheese of I let her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2010901 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 20:30:07 +0000 artsyfartsy 2010901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 months<br /> He feeds himself all solid food but we still spoon feed him anything that requires a utensil because we haven't started them yet</p> <p>Wake up: Bottle<br /> Breakfast: Bite size pieces of banana, pancake, scrambled egg, yogurt, oatmeal. Mix and match.<br /> May have a small bottle in between<br /> Lunch: bite size pieces of sandwich, fruit, leftover dinner, veggies. He MAY get a puree here if I'm low on ideas and want him to get some extra nutrition in. I spoon feed it.<br /> Bottle<br /> Dinner: bites of whatever we are having.<br /> Bedtime: bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2010890 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 20:23:50 +0000 Tanjowen 2010890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO just turned 12 months last week.

Between that and our GI/feeding issues there hasn't been much solids eating going on here.</p> <p>At 7 months old, LO is eating on a good day half of an ice cube size serving of puree 1-2 times, and on days I don't feel like trying just his 5 bottles. Tonight I got tired of the purees and offered him zucchini sticks since he originally did well with BLW and he actually ate one, so that was a victory. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2010862 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 20:02:41 +0000 nana87 2010862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow I thought my 9 month old was a big eater but apparently not in comparison!! She typically eats about 2 oz or so of purees (and/or oatmeal and/or yogurt) 3 times a day, plus sometimes puffs, teething wafers, and bites of our food. If we go out to a restaurant she eats bread, some of our food too and we order things like pancakes for her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2010856 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 19:58:43 +0000 anonysquire 2010856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: can I ask her weight?

She's eating about 16-19 oz. of formula per day (about to reduce that down), and 3 meals. We use little divided plates, and all 3 sections are full. </p> <p>An average lunch for her would be: a clementine, 1/2 an avocado, and about 3/4 cup - 1 cup of beans + cashew cream + quinoa + tofu (or something similar). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2010828 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 19:35:04 +0000 Orchid 2010828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm learning to relax about the amount of food my 10 month old LO eats!</p> <p>Today he had maybe 4 or 5 small pieces of pineapple, and a few bites of the oatmeal I had for breakfast. For lunch, he had maybe 6 or 7 grapes (cut in small pieces), a few bites of toast with coconut oil, and maybe 5 or 6 chickpeas. For dinner, he had a few bites of macaroni in a vegan cream sauce, green beans and English peas. And today was a good day!!</p> <p>He nurses 4 times in the day and once at night. I have no idea how to possibly add snacks to our routine because I feel like there's no time for it in the day and he'd be eating all day long! That's kinda weird to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2010792 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 19:13:25 +0000 Mae 2010792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow I"m amazed by how much other people's babies eat before a year old! I guess I've really been taking the "food before 1 is just for fun" to heart, especially because LO has not really been super into food yet. She's 7.5 months. She gets 4 bottles/day (around 28-32 oz). I offer food once per day usually, whenever it is convenient. Sometimes twice if we're home all day. She'll eat (at best) maybe 1/4-1/3 of a fruit/veg pouch or 1/6 pear or banana. Plus some puffs (but I only offer her like maybe 10 or so). She just seems awfully little to give her more than that, and she isn't that interested yet anyways :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-solid-foodpurees-does-your-lo-get#post-2010780 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 19:05:00 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2010780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my son will be 10 months on the 16th :)</p> <p>For breakfast he gets fruit purée thickened with a bit of cereal. It's about half a pouch. Then vanilla Greek yogurt. BUT the passed three days we've done toast or waffle instead of cereal and fruit. Then followed by yogurt. </p> <p>Lunch is a few bites of what I'm having and a full fruit/veggie pouch. </p> <p>Dinner is a couple bites of what we are having if it's something suitable. Then about half a purée pouch thickened a bit with cereal. Then yogurt. </p> <p>He nurses a lot in there too. He's large. Haha </p>
