Hellobee Boards

Age: 10 months
Eats almost as much as an adult.

Typical day: squeeze fruit pouch, banana and toast for breakfast. Puffs and fruit and seed crackers for snacks. Chicken nuggets, yogurt, fries, cheese stick for lunch, apple for another snack. Plate of chicken pesto pasta for dinner with garlic toast and then oatmeal for bed. Oh and nursing 8-10 times a day.

E still had some purees until about her first birthday, maybe a little beyond. She had some pouches to use up so I kept offering them. And she loved applesauce. When we ran out, she was done! We still do yogurt and applesaue sometimes but I think she just prefers utensils and has since about 15 months. She really started to "get" food around 10-11 months

Tonight she had two corn quesadillas-one with cheese and one with chicken. And then she had a third of DH's chicken, pepper, onion, and cheese quesadilla. Then an entire avocado. Then about half a Yo Baby yogurt: she's all over the place

my son will be 10 months on the 16th

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.

Lunch is a few bites of what I'm having and a full fruit/veggie pouch.

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.

He nurses a lot in there too. He's large. Haha

I'm learning to relax about the amount of food my 10 month old LO eats!

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!!

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.

@anonysquire: I feel like my LO eats as much as an adult too!

@anonysquire: LOL. She's been eating kid's meals for 2 months, and the servers always seem blown away! She's a beast.

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

My LO just turned 12 months last week. His food for today:

Wake-up > 4 oz WCM bottle
Breakfast > 1/2 waffle+ 1/2 cup diced pear
Snack> entire sliced banana + offer sippy cup of WCM
Afternoon Nap > 6 oz WCM bottle before
Snack> 5-6 Kashi toasted crackers with homemade hummus
Dinner? 2 homemade turkey meatballs+spaghetti squash (about a baby handful) and 1 cheese ravioli+ 1/4 cup of my mushroom risotto+ veggie pouch
Bedtime > 8 oz WCM bottle

We are working on weaning off bottles. This kid is having none of it.

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.

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

DS2-almost 8 months
Breakfast - little bowl of oatmeal
Lunch and dinner - 1-2 stage 2 purées
He'll also try a little bit of whatever we are eating like pancakes, burgers, avocado, etc.

DS1 - 2 years old (almost 28 months)
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.

@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.

@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.

@anonysquire: I won't know until Friday, but I assume she's between 22-25 pounds, and nearly 30 inches.

@anonysquire: You've inspired me to venture a little outside my comfort zone, thank you!

DS is a big eater but only purees.

Breakfast: 1 yobaby cup, 1 pancake
Lunch - 1 4oz jar of puree, 1 3.5 oz pouch
Dinner - 1 3.5 oz pouch, 1/2 4 oz jar of puree
Snack - 1 stonyfield farm 6oz yogurt smoothie, handful of puffs, 2 baby rice cakes,

@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.

For breakfast he eats a cereal bar or waffle and maybe some puffs and yogurt.

For lunch we'll either do a puree or a grilled cheese sandwich. He will get some sort of fruit.

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.

He nurses all day everyday. I think it's going to be tough to wean this one.
