I may add a couple pieces of squash to that for him.</p> <p>And that's it, we've already weaned him from night time bottles so nothing after dinner. I just can't figure out what to do to eliminate the morning bottle. It's so easy and he wants to eat as soon as he wakes up. And a lot neater than a sippy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-meal-time-look-like-at-12-months#post-1937758 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 14:22:13 +0000 singingbee 1937758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is 13 months.

We are taking our time and hanging on to the two that make life happier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-meal-time-look-like-at-12-months#post-1937735 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 14:16:55 +0000 swurlygurl 1937735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 10 months I was still doing a lot of purees. She would have been fine eating what we were eating, but I didn't have my act together well enough to make 'good' food for her. It was just sooo much easier to make and freeze big batches of purees. I was (am) also a nutball about her nutrition, and didn't want her having any grains/wheat/oats/etc before her molars came in, so that made meals even more difficult.</p> <p>I had daycare feed her breakfast and lunch, and then I would feed her dinner. She probably had about 3 cubes of purees at each meal. We weren't doing any snacks, because she was still drinking 40+ ounces of formula a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-meal-time-look-like-at-12-months#post-1937726 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 14:13:29 +0000 NeekieRose 1937726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just finished weaning DD (She turned a year on Oct 29). With me being pregnant, my milk dried up and we transitioned her to WCM a little early (around 11 months). Up until last week her milk at daycare was 50-50 BM and WCM, but now the freezer stash is gone :( </p> <p>Her feeding schedule:<br /> 7am-snack (daycare)<br /> 9:00-breakfast and 5 oz WCM (daycare)<br /> 11:00-lunch and 5 oz WCM (daycare)<br /> 2:30-afternoon snack and water (daycare)<br /> 6:00-dinner and 5 oz WCM</p> <p>That is a typical daycare day, she sometimes gets water and animal crackers on the way to daycare if she's cranky. We stick pretty close to that on the weekends, but less snacks. We did BLW, so she just eats whatever we are eating and eats whatever they are serving at daycare. With the occasional pouch thrown in if I think she hasn't gotten enough veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-meal-time-look-like-at-12-months#post-1937620 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 13:31:47 +0000 mrsjyw 1937620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age, I think DS was nursing three times during the day, eating 2 or 3x and having a snack or two... we kind of just winged it and offered something in between nursing session/naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-meal-time-look-like-at-12-months#post-1937491 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 12:36:59 +0000 littlejoy 1937491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are still doing mostly formula and breastmilk at 10 months, but I'm curious what meal times look like for a 12 month old. Our baby cannot eat any animal products (doesn't have the digestive enzymes to process), so this furthers my confusion on how we'll get to 100% solids. Baby likes everything we've offered, so really, it's just me that can't get it together. :)</p> <p>Do you pre-make meals for the day?</p> <p>ETA: she does great with solids. We usually just give her what's on our plates, but sometimes my breakfast is just a piece of peanut butter toast, and I don't like that idea for her all the time. </p>
