Table food

How much food is your LO eating at each mealtime? DS is eating breakfast, lunch dinner these days. But sometimes I'm lucky of he eats one bite. One chicken nugget can usually last for lunch dinner.
I'm just trying to figure out how much he needs to be eating at this stage . I know formula should still be his main source of nutrition but pretty soon, it is gonna be byebye formula I'm nervous.

    With DS it varies almost daily. Like for breakfast I could only get him to eat 1/3 of a banana, no oatmeal, nothing. Just banana. Lunch though he had a handful of green grapes, 2 baby carrots and 5 pieces of tortellini pasta. (Plus a bottle when he was done.) I guess I just kinda assume that as long as I'm offering it to him, he will decided what/how much he wants to eat.

    I think once we cut out formula he will realize that he wants more food and I plan on offering it more consistently. Like breakfast, snack, lunch, snack and then dinner. Right now it's mainly just breakfast, lunch and dinner and bottles in between.

    It will be erratic for a long time. Even DS, who's nearly 3, will chow at some meals and eat almost nothing at others and will go through streaks where he'll only eat certain things.  We never force the issue. It's perfectly normal and they say to judge eating habits by the week rather than by the meal or day

    DD is a big eater! She eats oatmeal and half a banana for breakfast with a sippy of milk, a snack of puffs around 1015, lunch today was a yogurt and 4 chicken fries, then has a snack at 4 of string cheese, then dinner was half a grilled cheese and some peas, then a sippy of milk with cheerios for bed time treat. Wow that sounds like a lot :

    DD is a big eater! This morning she had a piece of banana bread, a whole clementine, and a couple baked apple slices. She always eats more at breakfast than other meals though. Lately, she hasn't been eating more than a few bites at dinner, it all kind of depands what kind of mood she's in.

    Thanks for sharing...i assumed it will take a little while for ds to start eating a decent amount, but is always good to hear what's going on with everyone else.
