Feeding a 9 mo?

  At around 9 months, my daughter used to wake up around 6:30, nurse, eat breakfast around 7/7:30, nurse a bit before her nap at 8:30, nurse at 10 when she woke up, have some lunch around noon, nurse a bit before her next nap at 2 or so, again when she woke up, and then have dinner and nurse again before bed...I basically just offered her food at my own meal times if she was awake for them. I always offered to nurse before giving her solids and sometimes again after just in case.

  We started solids at 6 months very gradually. Now, at 9 months, he nurses or takes a 3 oz bottle of breast milk every 2 hrs and the only way I've been able to have success with him taking solids is to offer them right before his bottle/nursing. If he's not hungry he won't take them. Even waiting an hour isnt enough for him to want them. We've worked up to 4x a day but the serving sizes are pretty small. He is usually done after 2 ounces. Unless its banana or oatmeal but of course those are the things that constipated him so we give those sparingly.

  Ok I'm just glad I'm not the only one whose baby does not eat like a 5 year old would!
