What does your 11-12 month old eat in a day?

Kingston54 · December 2010

Will you please share everything your LO eats in a day (milk, meals, snacks, drinks, etc). Wondering if I'm missing something

Thanks!

Shortly after he wakes up, he'll have a bowl of rice cereal mixed with Stage 3 fruit. Then before his nap, he'll have a 6-8oz bottle. After his first nap, he'll have a bowl of rice cereal mixed with Stage 3 veggie and another 6-8oz bottle before his last nap. Finally he'll have a jar of Stage 3 "dinner" and a small jar of Stage 2 fruit as "dessert". Then another 6-8oz bottle before bed.

DD only has 2 teeth, so we're not doing a lot of table foods yet. She still eats every 4 hours (about 4 times a day). For breakfast we do a jar of oatmeal and fruit mix and then an additional jar of fruit. 4 hours later we do a jar of fruit and jar of veggie. 4 hours later we repeat. At night we do one jar food and a 6 oz bottle of formula. Then all the water she wants during the day. We'll do some mum-mums or other snack on inbetween if she shows interest.

12bailey18 · December 2010

Breakfast: Usually cinnamon toast, eggs, and/or purees. Along with 4-6 oz. bottle

Snack: Some sort of Gerber munchies, maybe grapes, or other pieces of fruit too. He also loves cheese Sometimes he'll get a 6oz. bottle, not usually though.

Lunch: Veggie purees and whatever is left over from dinner. (Mashed potatoes, pasta, corn, etc.) 6 oz. bottle

Snack: Same as morning with sometimes a bottle in there too.

Dinner: Veggie purees and whatever we have for dinner. If he's not able to have whatever we have (too spicy, etc.) he loves bread and/or cheese

Nighttime bottle: 8 oz.

He has his sippy cup throughout the day but we just put water in it.

Hope that helps!

I forgot to add in that for his breakfast he gets fruit purees! Sometimes I'll mix cereal into it.

sasky · December 2010

My LO will be 11 months next week, but here's what he eats:

4 6-oz bottles throughout the day

Breakfast:

- 1 waffle
- some kind of fruit: 1/2 banana or pear or apple slices or blueberries
- yogurt

Lunch:

- 1 slice of whole wheat bread with cheese
- some kind of vegetable: peas or carrots or green beans or broccoli
- a little fruit for dessert

Dinner:

- Varies, but we try to give him a protein, starch, and veggie. Pasta with meat sauce and broccoli, or pita and hummus with squash, chicken and zucchini and couscous, etc.

He doesn't usually need a snack because he eats so much during meal time, but if he needs one we usually give him veggie sticks or fruit slices.

Jen&Louie · December 2010

Wake-up: Nurses

7-7:30: Cereal, fruit puree (stage 2 container), and either a pancake, waffle or egg

9-10: 6 ounces milk

11-12: Yogurt, 1/2 sandwich and fruit

2-3: Fruit

3-4: 4 ounces milk

5-5:30: Dinner - generally whatever we are eating and somtimes along with a veggie puree (he still has only 2 teeth)

Bedtime: Nurse or 6 ounce bottle

Mrs.Keith2B · December 2010

In total, DS is drinking four 5-6oz bottles, 3 meals and 2 snacks. His breakfast and lunch are table foods AND baby food because he still gobbles them up and it's an easy way to get more fruits and veggies in. He's in this phase where he's more interested in playing with is food and throwing it over the side of his high chair.

Cornbreadsmom · December 2010

He's not quite 11 months, but I'll share. He just recently started refusing baby food Here's yesterday, times are approximate since I can't remember lol.

Wake up (~7): Nurse

Breakfast(9:30): ~1/2 waffle, cup of yogurt

Nurse before morning nap (~11)

Lunch (~1:30): Peas, Shells and white cheddar, grilled chicken pieces

Nurse before afternoon nap(~3)

Dinner (~6:30): Chicken tortellini (no sauce), about 5 pieces (who knows how many he actually ate lol), peas again, some cut up cheese.

Nurse before bed (8pm)

Sometimes he still wakes up once to nurse between 4-5am. He doesn't really eat snacks at this point. However he usually eats some cheerios while I'm getting his food together.

ETA: He also gets a sippy cup at meals, but it just has water in it

superaunt · December 2010

sabrina eats like a five year old already- all table food, no purees other than applesauce and yogurt (refuses everything else)... basically she eats something every couple of hours (when awake). she's given a sippy cup of milk or water at every meal.

general schedule:

545am- 6oz formula, 1oz milk (moving to 5 & 2 tomorrow)

830am- breakfast at school: always a protein (egg, sausage), always a fruit, always a carb (toast, pancake)

845am- bottle

1130am- lunch at school: protein, starch, veg

noon- bottle

3pm- snack at school: nutrigrain bar, goldfish crackers, animal crackers

445pm- dinner at home: chicken nuggets, peas, sippy of formula/milk

6-7pm (depending on her naps/mood)- possibly a bedtime bottle

Boizmom · December 2010

Z still takes 24 ounces of formula a day. He starts his day out with an 8 ounce bottle. Then he has a light snack which is usually some sort of fruit and a waffle. (I pre-make his waffles and freeze them then pop them in toaster as needed.) Lunch is around 11. He usually has string cheese, sweet potato fries (home made, just cut into "fries", drizzled with olive oil and roasted in the oven) and whole wheat crackers. After nap time he'll get another 8 ounce bottle and a snack which is usually Kix cereal and bananas. He'll dinner around 5 (the kid cannot last past 5 for dinner) which is usually left overs from the night before. Last night he had beef stew which had beef, peas, carrots and potatoes. Then right before bed he has his last 8 ounce bottle.

I do mix up his meals/snacks. What I listed is just what he ate yesterday. He'll eat just about anything I put in front of him. He loves raspberries, blueberries, apple slices, peaches, bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, avocado, peas, chicken, beef, pork. He loves spaghetti, fried rice, etc.

Forgot to say this. He has 3 teeth, all on the bottom. He is on the verge of cutting his two front teeth on top, but they're not there yet. We didn't start him on solids until he was 8 months old (per his GI's recommendation). He very quickly went from pureed foods to actual solids/table foods. I guess in a way we've done BLW. I don't know specifics about BLW, the first time I ever heard of it was here on TB.

Jordandice · December 2010

-BF when she wakes up

-Breakfast: usually either yogurt or oatmeal (cooked on the stove, not the baby kind) mixed with a whole smashed up banana (or if we are out of bananas then I will do a stage 3 fruit or applesauce). ?Then she will have a piece of whole wheat toast and usually some cereal puffs. ?We offer water and we just started offering whole milk this week (she is hating the milk right now).?

-BF before nap

-Lunch: I usually make a grilled cheese on whole wheat. ?No butter or oil though...a lot of times I will make it in the toaster oven. ?Then she will have whole peas, applesauce, cereal puffs, cheese or some other finger food to go along with it. ?I offer milk and water again.

-BF at around 4 pm

-Dinner: Lately it has been pasta elbows (because she can eat them easily w/out me having to cut them up) with organic tomato sauce (doesn't have a lot of the extra added junk like the sugars). ?Then I will do whole peas or a veggie puree (like squash or sweet potato- and I make them on the thicker side). ?Typically I just make sure she is eating a fruit or a veggie at every meal of the day. ?If she is still hungry I will give her toast or more cheese. ? I also offer milk and water at dinner.?

-BF before bed

jennyandty · December 2010

DS is very picky!

Breakfast: Baby Cereal, 1/4-1/2 fruit baby food

Lunch: Grilled Cheese and a jar of sweet potaotes or carrots or mashed banana

Dinner: Yogurt and jar of fruit sometimes a piece of toast

He nurses on demand and has a sippy of milk from which he drinks a small amount. He snacks on crackers, cheerios, and puffs. I think the dogs may eat more of his food than he does.

Lunch at 12:30 with a cup of water ( grilled cheese or mac and cheese). Another nap from 2:00 to 3:30 and then a at 3:30 with a cup of milk ( maybe jello or manderine oranges or yogurt). Dinner at 6:00. Beditme is 8:00 and he gets another 7 oz bottle. He pretty much has a cup laying in the room the whole day. It might be milk of water. He is a eater!! He loves food! Good luck!

This is a great idea! I'm going to try it today. Thanks!

blessedinthewest · December 2010

I love all the ideas in this post! We are currently struggling because DS has a stomach virus. But this is usually his schedule...

7 am nurse

830 oatmeal and pureed fruit and 2 oz whole milk

before am nap 4 oz formula

12 lunch usually jarred baby food or we will try some solids like real fruit, bread, cheese, yogurt or leftovers though he is picky and won't eat much "real" food

before afternoon nap 5 oz formula

3 PM 4 oz formula

5:30 dinner same type of stuff as lunch. we've been trying to feed him what we eat but he is very picky. Perhaps too full from formula??

Bedtime 6 oz formula/nurse

She only has two teeth (although she's currently cutting 4 teeth on top) and she's not too keen on giving up her bottles. I'm picking and choosing my battles these days.
