How much is/was your 10- 11 month old eating

I am not sure if DS is getting enough in the way of solid food.

He's always looking for milk so not sure.

Can you give me an idea of what your 10 - 11 month old eats or ate? Maybe set it out in a rough daily routine.

Thanks.

Nick is maybe not the best to compare to, as he is a PIG! but here goes....

7am - wake & b/f
8am - 2 weet-bix, mixed with hot water (milk still not working well for us) and half a pureed pear or banana
midday - wakes & sometimes b/f
12:30 lunch - a banana or some watermelon & avegemite sandwich
4pm afternoon tea - if he didn't have a b/f before lunch he'll have it now, along with some sultanas, and a cruskit or 2 (depending on the day)
5:30pm - dinner - usually about a cup or so (i don't measure, just dollop out onto the plate) of veges/pasta/rice & a bit of meat. LAtely i've been pureeing it

. He was eating it as finger food, but the last 2weeks he's been turning up his nose at anything that isn't pureed. Then he'll usually munch on a piece of bread while we finish our dinner.
7:30 - b/f to sleep.

Sometimes i think i'm giving him too much, but then he does stop when he is full (and is very definate about pushing my hand away, or throwing the food off the highchair) so I just go with the flow now.

OMG 2 weetbix?! I am lucky if my little one eats half a weetbix!

My DD hardly eats anything. You would be shocked if I told you what she ate.. if she ever eats anything..

Thanks chix - looks like DS is doing OK with the food then! (I think he's the biggest guts of all

and he weighs 9kgs!!)

miss A eats hardly anything as well.

we'll be lucky if she has half a piece of toast for breakky

4 bottles morning, noon, arvo and bed.

maybe some yoghurt.. maybe a mouthful of rice/past/ whatever we eat for dinner.

maybe a biscuit.

maybe a vegemite sandwhich.

maybe some jelly

maybe some pureed apples and muslie...

she will only eat MAYBE one of these tiny portions a day...

but im sure one day we'll get there.

*sigh*
