Rena's 9 month stats and a question

nvp05

We had her 9 month appt today and she did great. She's still a big baby- 22 lbs (70%) and 30 inches (over 95%!!). We have no idea where she gets her height from. The doctor said she's doing great and so alert.

He said to start giving her 3 meals and 2 snacks now and wean her off another bottle. Right now I've only been doing 3 meals. I'm not sure what to give her for snacks besides puffs. Any suggestions? TIA.

Yea, Rena!

I'm trying to remember what I started as snacks then...you might try cubed cheese (cut into eighths) and diced apples.  DD wasn't big on puffs, but she did like Baby Mum-Mums.

go, rena!!

as far as snacks, i would give T cubed cheese, avocado, cooked carrots and apples, sweet potato cubes, teething biscuits, watermelon or other melon, grapes... i never thought "it has to be a snack specific food" so i would sometimes feed him whatever was handy- left over pasta, potato, rice, veggies, whatever...

Looks like Rena is going to be too tall to date Luca ...  We don't do a snack yet.  We do milk as a snack in a sippy cup...  I guess I need to add a snack...

string cheese, boiled carrots, green beans, bananas, yogurt, graham crackers.... like V, i give her whatever is around.  wasn't always exactly a "snack"

Thanks for the suggestions. I've just starting giving her some string cheese and yogurt as part of her lunch or dinner. I'll try giving those as snacks now.

these are mostly ones that are easy to tote with you - cheerios, cut up fruit, freeze dried fruit (Gerber or Parents Choice), cheese, yogurt, peas
