R has been getting 3 meals a day since 9 months old but they're still mostly purees. She has yogurt for breakfast most days. I'm alone for dinner 5 nights a week and usually eat after she's asleep so it's going to be difficult to make the switch to table food for dinner.

He has eaten 3 meals a day since he was probably 7 months old, mostly because we can't eat in front of him without him throwing a fit For breakfast, he has a banana or other fruit and some eggs or oatmeal with flaxseeds. For lunch, he has a couple of assorted fruits or veggies. Sometimes a Greek yogurt in there. Dinner is whatever we eat if its not spicy, and if it is I roast him a veggie or something.

We mostly do 2 meals brunch and dinner. We never get up early enough for breakfast. Oh wellz! Sometimes I get three in if we fake it with a yogurt for breakfast.

We haven't done three. Sounds like misery!

We've done 3 meals since about 7 months. We have feeding issues though so his meals are still mostly purees. He typically eats breakfast and lunch in his highchair. Whenever I get around to eating my breakfast/lunch, I share with him as a snack. We try to eat dinner as a family every night. He gets his purees and then we share our dinner with him as well.

@tlcbaby: yeah I find it a bit rushed eating dinner as a family if he woke up early from his second nap or if we haven't organized anything for dinner since he's usually going to bed by 7.

Question for everyone, how many nursing sessions/bottles are you doing during the day? I guess many of you are probably back to work so that would affect things too. Right now I'm nursing when he wakes up in the AM, after both his naps, then bedtime. Meals are given between the nursing sessions, so sort of close to his nap. He starts daycare soon so I'm wondering whether I should consider dropping a nursing session??

We have been doing 3 meals for about a month and she's almost 9 months. We have had to make some changes around our house. We eat dinner early now at 5:30 and sit at our table. We used to just eat in front of tv and much later. She usually has cereal, fruit, yoghurt for breakfast, fruit and veggies for lunch and veggies and meat/pasta for dinner. We are starting to give her bits of what we eat too.

@tlcbaby: We are doing three meals and because my husband gets home from work later, for now, I make Reese food and then cook for us after I put her down.

I also have to send all food to daycare because of her severe allergies so this is what she had today:

Breakfast: Oatmeal with a sprinkle of brown sugar and raisins (I cook a big batch and spread it out over a few days) & a half a banana

Lunch (they do this as lunch and snack--so 2 meals): 1 chicken sausage and 1 cup of mixed veggies (steamed)

Dinner: Grilled chicken (make a big batch again), roasted sweet potato (ditto), and a cup of apple sauce

Obviously Reese LOVES table food but on the flip side, she refuses her bottle most of the time so we're having that struggle. As I mentioned I make a lot of extra when I cook so then I can just heat it up for her--there isn't much variety but when you're allergic to milk, eggs, soy, and wheat, variety just isn't going to happen
