Re: when & what does your lo eat?
we do BLW
so pretty much what I am having/what is in the house.
No set times for meals - I offer him breakfast after I have coffee
today he had plain gree yogurt. I offered some raspberries but he just smooshed them and threw them.
I offer food again in the late afternoon/early evening (dinner I guess), yesterday was spatzle, a German egg noodle. He didn't really care for them.
I offer all fruits and veg, he likes ground turkey, hummus, bell peppers. I have offered chicken in the past but he wasn't a fan.
DS born via unplanned C-section at 40w6d
DS gets up between 4:30 and 5. He gets a bottle first thing.
Breakfast is between 8-9, depending what time he gets up from his nap. Breakfast includes Cheerios, bananas, yogurt, eggs, oatmeal, or pancakes.
Second bottle at about 10.
Lunch is about noon. Lunch is normally leftovers from dinner. I've also done sandwiches, or frozen meatballs and veggies. I almost always give s fruit cup as dessert.
I try to give a third bottle about 2, but DS has started refusing the 3rd bottle.
Snack is about 3:30. It is usually fruit, a cheese stick, or goldfish crackers.
Dinner is whatever we eat. Yesterday was chicken stuffed with artichokes and feta, rice, and green beans. Tonight will be baked potato soup with sandwiches.
We BLW too and don't really have a set schedule, but everything happens around the same time naturally. My LO is not a big eater in terms of quantity. She prefers littler meals more often.
6 am: Wake up and have 4 oz. bottle
7 am: Breakfast - today was oatmeal with blueberries which she likes. This week we've also had green smoothies (huge fan) & french toast sticks (not a big fan).
8 am: 2 - 4oz oz bottle before nap
10 am: Snack of puffs and frozen peas.
10:30 am: 4 oz bottle
12:00 pm: Lunch. We've had leftover chicken for lunch all week. I've given her either applesauce, cheese, or fruit with it.
12:30 pm: 2 - 4 oz bottle before nap
3:00 pm: 4 oz bottle
5:00 pm: Dinner - last night she had chicken sausage, pears and sauteed zucchini. Tonight will be chicken taco chili with brown rice. She also had yogurt one night when I didn't feel like cooking. It's her favorite.
6:00pm: 4 oz bottle at bedtime
Wake up time varies for him so anywhere between 7 and 9
Bottle-6 oz
Breakfast-oatmeal with pureed fruits, pancakes, bagels with cream cheese, toast and jam or yogurt, cottage cheese and cheerios
Bottle-8 oz
Lunch-sandwiches, left overs, chunks of steamed veggies, chicken, fruit chunks, etc.
Bottle-8 oz
Snack-puffs, blueberries, goldfish
Dinner-whatever we are having. Last night we had meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans and carrots. He loved it.
Bottle-9 oz at bedtime
We are doing BLW as well. Breakfast is usually some combination of fruit, dry cereal, egg, etc.
Lunch is usually smaller. Today she had some peas, grapes, and bits of cheese
Dinner is whatever we eat. She loves noodles, tomato anything, veggies, etc.
Just curious how your LO's (esp. the BLW ones) handle things like yogurt and oatmeal? Do they eat it with their hands or can they use spoons? I've thought recently that it might be a good idea to try and give her a spoon to see how she does, but I haven't yet.

Breakfast
Infant cereal, fruit and bottle.
Lunch
Varies, but generally a combo of fruit, veggie, dairy either pieces of a cheese string, cottage cheese or yogurt. Sometimes crustless raisin toast, with a bit of butter bottle.

Bedtime
Bottle
DS is not a picky eater at all and he'd probably eat anything. But I don't feel he's quite at the "eating like us" phase yet. I also feel in a rut sometimes as to what to feed him as I don't want him to get bored...
