My 10 month old eats a lot less than what I am reading here......nothing like feeling like you are starving your child!!! Upon awakening (8 a.m) I give her 7 oz bottle. At 10 she gets breakfast usually 4 oz of fruit and lots of cheerios. At noon I give her a 6 oz bottle and another one at 4:00. For dinner around 6ish I give her 4 oz of veggies, more cheerios and little bits of whatever we are eating. Depending on her mood sometimes I give her cheerios or mum mums throughout the day. Before bed around 8 p.m she gets a 7 oz bottle. I am going to start giving her dairy this week. Maybe start trying some cheeses and yogurt. Cora is 20 lbs and her doctor said to keep doing what I've been doing so I guess she is just a light eater. She doesn't fuss very often so I think she is satisfied. She is a cheerio addict.

My little guy just turned 11 months old. He's never been a big fan of puree so we've experimented with solids a lot! Also- a 100% organic food household. Here's our schedule:



*5:00-5:30 AM- 6 oz bottle(goes back to sleep until7:30-8 AM)

*Breakfast 30 min after he wakes: Items we feed on a daily basis; fruit (strawberries, bananas, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), whole grain (cheerios, waffles, pancakes, toast with butter, oatmeal), yogurt (yogurt bites or everyday yogurt.

*10:00 AM 6 oz bottle and nap immediatly following. Sleeps until 11:30-12:00

*12:30-1:00 Lunch Items fed on daily basis: Protein (chicken nuggets, chicken, grilled cheese, quesidilla, turkey dog, beans, cheeses) Veggie (peas, carrots, corn, green beans, sweet potatoe. Whole grain (pasta, toast w/ hummus, rice. Dessert- fruit (watermellon, peach, mango, apple, pear, pinapple, mandrine oranges)

3:00 PM 6 oz bottle and nap immeidalty follwoing. Sleeps until 5:00-5:30

6:00-6;30 Dinner. Same as lunch but rotate fish, pork, beef.

8:30 lights out.



Snacks: between meals- puffs, yogurt, homemade smoothes, Plums puree pouches. I always make sure I get 1-2 Plum pouches in him becase he feeds our dog from the highchair so its hard to say how much he takes in.



Drink: he gets Apple/water juice 50/50 ratio in his cup with breakfast and I typically have to refill it around 2:30. each cup holds 5 oz of fluids.



He's starting to not want his bottle as much so starting next week I'm going to take 1 bottle away and compinsate with a sippy at breakfast. I'll repost and let everyone know how it goes!

just be happy he is eating, and make it nutritional too. i dont think that there is a 'typical' menu for toddlers because each family is individual and each child has their own tastes, if you want to fill him up tho, porridge is a good cheap healthy option, with brown sugar or honey on, get him to practice making his own sandwiches now (you supply the right amount of spread) and then by the time he is three he will be making sandwiches perfectly for the whole family.

My daughter's typical starts around 9-10am

9-10 am - Frozen Waffle ( usually Nutra Grain) or If I made homemade... sometimes I give her Arrowroot cookies crushed with rice cereal and formula... or oatmeal. I break the waffles apart into tiny pieces. Formula in a Sippy Cup and after she eats her waffle I will give her blueberries, strawberries or some type of fruit that I cut up!

1-2ish - Yogurt, String cheese, Tomato, or mixed veggies

2-3ish - formula in a bottle

5-6ish- dinner usually whatever with eat with the exception of fish, nuts, etc... so chicken cut up into small pieces, potatoes, mixed veggies...

8-9ish- Formula in a bottle

Also juice mixed with water during the day too and snacks of puffs, goldfish crackers, animal crackers,

Oh and she ends the day nursing. :)

My 11 month old eats:
7AM Nurse, yogurt and/or pureed fruit
9:00 4 oz pumped milk
11:00ish gr. cheese, leftovers (she only eats lunch 4 days a week or so) 4 oz. bottle
2:30 4 oz. pumped milk
She also gets snacks of puffs, graham crackers between lunch and dinner
4:30 Nurses
6:00 dinner-she loves ravioli, peas, sweet potato, baked beans, cheddar cheese, shredded pork, green beans, chopped pears, peaches, sliced banana and blueberries. She will only eat chicken if I make homemade chicken nuggets.

I thought she wasn't eating enough, but I read babies stomachs are still quite small and she is over 21 pounds, so she is certainly not malnourished! She gets protein from cheese and yogurt (and breastmilk). I do give her an iron supplement because she doesn't like the cereal. Its sometimes hard to gauge how much she is eating because she shares with the dog!

My dd is still BF so this is her typical day:

4/5 am (stupid time change) she joins me in bed for an early morning nurse

7:00 cheerios and/or oatmeal followed by another nurse If I have pumped milk in the fridge, I offer a sippy with a small bit of milk in it but she still likes to end her meal with nursing.

9 or 10ish (I nurse on demand) she has milk before an am nap.

nurse upon waking briefly.

12:00 she likes banana, noodles, cheerios are a standby grain for her if I don't have noodles cooked already, maybe a slice of bread for her to munch on, cottage cheese, yogurt, shredded cheddar. I let her self feed just about anything I can- even if it's messy.

Nurse after lunch.

Nurse before PM nap and briefly when she wakes up

Dinner- she eats whatever soft food we have on the table cut up very small and put on her tray. For protein I give her shredded cheese or a spoon of cottage cheese- she loves picking up the small curds... sometimes I open a jar of baby food meat but she's really not a huge fan of purees and is honestly past that stage. She only has two teeth though so everything has to be really soft.

Nurse after dinner and again before bed.

I want to nurse her for at least the first year, hopefully 2 years and possibly as long as 3 so we aren't pushing the use of a sippy cup. I offer it and help her drink from it, but figure, when she is able to do it herself, we will start moving away from the mealtime nursing sessions. At this point, snacks are her between meal nursing sessions.

Hi! my daughter has a pretty cosistent schedule 6:30 she has 6 ounces of formula never has increased to 8 oz then at 9:30 she has oatmeal (Quacker oatmeal packages) loves the ones with fruit like apples and cinnamon or peaches and cream she will have this with a couple of tablespoons of fruit like applesauce usually won"t finish the pack of oatmeal but comes close... and to drink about 3 oz of formula. at 12:30 lunch time, sometimes I mix the baby food stage 3 sweet potato with some pastina or sometimes she has mac and cheese or turkey rice veg baby food with fruit about 1/2 a jar of each, with 3 to 4 oz of juice, then a bottle at around 3:30 again 6 oz and then dinner at around 5;30 mashed potato with gravy, or whatever we are eating cut up fine. and a bottle around 9:30 and then lights out..she also get snacks through the day like yogurt snacks, or a yougurt 4 oz size, arrowroot cookie, or sometimes a piece of bread usually the end piece of a baguette keeps her busy and happy also massages those gumbs! teeth still coming in.Also has water and juice throughout the day according to her activity level.(thirst factor) Last time at the dr's back in Feb she weighed in at 18.6 lbs and 28 inches long I believe she is at about 20 lbs now. We visit the dr in April. We recently started to venture into the "Dining out world" and so she will try anything and my husband and I have made it a game to see what is baby friendly at any restaraunt. Surprise!!! not every place has kids menu but they almost all can make mashed potato's with gravy..LOL...

my 11 month old girl usually has a bottle when she first gets up then some baby cereal or toast for breakfast, then after her morning nap as she usually gets up around lunch time, she has yogurt and a banana for lunch, then afternoon snack of fruit and a sammie, occasionally if she wants it she has an afternoon bottle ethier before or after her afternoon nap, then dinner if its suitable for her she has what we have or tin baby food if its not, then a bottle before bed :) but usually she'll nibble on whatever else everyone around her is eating aswell, and she has a sippercup of water that she has access to all day

Mande - posted on 03/19/2010

My son is 11 months old and at the moment his schedule is



breakfast at 8 baby porridge

nap

bottle 7oz at 10 -10:30

lunch normally fruit and custard pureed at weekends and potato and veg pureed in Creche midweek 12 - 12:30

nap

snack at 3:30 Normally fruit pureed midweek or yoghurt at weekend.

Dinner at 5:30 - 6 normally what we have pureed at weekend and either baby pasta with pureed veg or pureed beans and toast

bottle at 7 and then bed. He has always had a larger interest in food than bottles and he had a beaker with juice half and half with food.

mac n cheese is macaroni and cheese. as for meat i think that is included in purees. who would seriously feed a baby a big mac really? also when babies are eating from the table and with their parents ie; eating whatever i eat, which i saw on a lot of peoples comments. mine also eats lunch meat, chicken and turkey, meat sticks made by gerber. there is other ways to get protein. besides really our bodies were not meant to digest large amounts of meat. that is why we have eggs, soy and many other things. They also get protein in breastmilk and formula.

Caroline - posted on 03/19/2010

mine eats: Breakfast- cereal (weetabix) if still hungry some yogurt or fruit pot,
lunch: home cooked food blized up, ie pasta with chicken, veg & sauce, bolognaise, tuna & tomatoe sauce, mashed potatoe with meat, & veg etc. Dinner is same sort of thing as lunch. She often picks from some of my food as snacks. Milk- she has about 6oz mid morning and 7ox before bed- she is not keen on drinking any more despite my efforts

To be honest I am shocked at what some other babies are eating- there is not much meat which is vital for babies on the move- protein! and what the hell is mac & cheese? - surely you can't mean Big Macs (mcdonalds?)

Ashley - posted on 03/19/2010

My son has 3 tbsp of cereal and cheerios at 8:30. Lunch at 12:30 is a 4oz jar of fruit and finger foods and dinner is 5:30 with a 4oz jar of veggie and some meat and what ever he will eat that we are having for dinner. He still drinks about 5 4oz bottles during the day and will not drink much from a sippy cup.

Fern - posted on 03/19/2010

My little guy loves to eat!!! Breakfast is usually baby cereal with a jar a of fruit or scrambled eggs with toast, sometimes we do cherrios and yogurt it varies. snacks are lil crunchies, animal crackers, yogurt melts, 1/2 of a banana, banana cookies. Lunch varies from mac n cheese, quasadias with cheese, peanut butter and jelly, with fruit and a veggie added in. Dinner is usually whatever we are eating plus some purees if he gets hungry later. He also drinks a sippy with 1/2 juice 1/2 water in it thru out the day. was nursing 5-6 times a day, just started weening him due to him clamping down and biting ouch. So he has been drinking formula every 3-4 hrs thru out the day. and likes to drink water from my camelbak water bottle. I also have a 4 y/o so he likes to eat and do what big brother is doing or eating.

Kristi - posted on 03/18/2010

my 10 1/2 y old son eats oatmeal porridge in the morning, for lunch he has soup, for tea time he has yoghurt or mash with gravy/pasta/fish - depending how well he has eaten at lunch time and before going to bed he has some porridge. With every meal he always drink either water or some juice. He doesn't get any formula!

Jezi - posted on 03/18/2010

I feed my daughter either yogurt and sliced fruit or cereal in whole milk with a small bottle of juice. She eats a small snack like garden chedder goldfish or graduates puffs. For lunch she eats a fold over sandwhich with a bottle of juice. Between lunch and dinner she might eat another small snack of puffs of goldfish and for dinner she has one jar of fruit and one jar of veggies with 4oz of water+floride. I hope this helps with a 10 month old menu!

My little monster has always refused to have her own menu right from the start. She has always refused to eat anything pureed.



Now she eats pretty much what I eat, with the exception of milk, nuts and honey. Aside from that, everything is fair game. She loves spicy foods and stir frys. Although it gets a little messy at times.



She has three meals a day plus two snacks. (one inbetween lunch and dinner and another before bed) Breakfast depends on what I eat. Sometimes some scrambled eggs and toast, or multigrain cherios, or yogurt, or hot oatmeal. Lunch is usually leftovers from dinner before, or I try to get some baby food in, or steamed veggies. Although her favourite lunch is Avocado Grilled Cheese. Dinner is whatever we are having. Pastas, stir frys, She will try anything. Dessert consists of yogurt or fruit. Snacks usually consist of fresh fruit, All Bran Fruit Bites, or baby cookies. She LOVES mandarin oranges. And she still nurses on command about 3/4 times a day and 3 times at night. When she eats she may only take a few bits, or eat everything on her plate. She refuses to eat unless someone else is eating at the table. A real social eater. It really depends on her mood. I just want her to develope a taste for everything and enjoy the experience.



Every baby is different. Mine just hates to be excluded. :)

my daughter eats baby cereal in the morning . for lunch she eats yogurt. in between all mealss alwayss some fruit and snacks. and for dinner whatever household food i make! and she only drinks like 4 oz of milk every 3-4 hours and of course juice and sometimes water

My son is eating the following:



1--4 oz cereal in the morning first thing.

4 oz fruit and 4 oz veggies at 11

4 oz fruit and 4 oz veggies at 4



little puffs and bottles inbetween... and table food with me at supper time... he is a little piggy lol

Brittany - posted on 03/14/2010

i don't make him special meals really.. just whatever i'm eating if he's interested in eating at that time. for the first year, technically babies only need milk (breast or formula), so real food is just for fun and practice :) i usually make myself a bagel or breakfast sandwich for breakfast, and he eats some of that and maybe some yogurt or cheerios. then for lunch whatever i'm having, if it's good for him i'll share, otherwise i make him a half a sandwich with some cheese wedges or something. then for dinner i try to get the veggies in, he loves steamed broccoli. he'll eat chicken and fish but not too keen on beef. and he LOVES mac 'n cheese. he can pretty much eat whatever i'm eating, so i guess i just try to eat healthy so i don't have to make extra food, because he doesn't eat a whole lot anyway :)

Rebecca - posted on 03/14/2010

My twins eat the following

Breastfeed when they wake up, breakfast of yogurt and fruit, nurse before their morning nap, lunch: leftover dinner cut up small with a cup of formula, nurse before their afternoon nap, sometimes nurse after the nap, snack : cracker or butter cookie, dinner is usually whatever we are eating cut up small with a cup of formula, nurse before bed.

(My boys will eat anything you put in front of them. Yet they are still underweight. Go figure.)
