Moms of 1+ yr olds - feeding questions...

Is your baby solely on table foods now or do you still give jarred food every so often? How much milk are they drinking? Are they eating just 3 times per day or more?

I would love to know this too..........My little guy will be one next month and I can't imagine that he wouldn't still be eating baby food. He isn't too big on eating real food so he would starveChat Icon

I fed my son jarred food (as well as table food) untill he was 16 months. I felt it was good for him, and as long as he was also eating table food, what was the big deal?

99.9% of the time she will refuse baby food so she is soley on table food. She has 3-4 bottles a day focusing on her naps and wake up. Each is about 7-8 ozs. The rest of the time she drinks water.

She is eating 3 meals a day. Though I will say lunch is not a strong point. She refuses a normal portion for her other meals quite often. She also snacks on wagon wheels, puffs and goldfish through out the day.

Nate gets 3 bottles a day - 5:30-6am, 2-3pm, and 7:30pm

He does get 3 meals a day and a snack. At day care, he gets breakfast and lunch. As far as dinner, he eats pretty much anything but I still take help from Gerber. I use the Gerber Lil' entrees pretty often in the evenings. I also use the diced veggies and fruit. By the time I pick up him from day care and get home it's 6pm. I just find it hard to make dinner and feed him before 7pm since I'm usually home alone.

Melanie is 100% on table food. She eats 3 meals a day, plus 1/2 snakcs (depends on how hungry she is). She also gets 3-4 bottles a day. On hot days I try to give her more liquid, but the extra is water.

Jared still likes his fruit, so I don't deprive him of that. He eats 95% table foods. But I sometimes give him the gerber graduates ravoli's...he really likes those too.

I just started introducing table food to Kevin and I've been really nervous about it...he gags a lot and he may have a milk sensitivity so we are taking it one day at a time.

His feeding shedule is like this:

Breakfast: , oatmeal and 1/2 jar of stage 3 fruit (I plan to start trying mini pancakes)

Snack: Puffs or chunks of fruit (today he had banana) Water in bottle

Lunch: 7 oz soy formula, Whole jar of stage 3 fruit or veggie (today he had Sweet Potato with pastina mixed in) He loved picking up the pastina with his index finger and feeding himself)

Snack: Puffs or another fruit

Dinner: 7 oz soy formula, Oatmeal and stage 3 veggie

Bedtime: 7 oz soy formula

I'm going to start steaming some veggies and seeing how he likes them instead of the baby food.

I weaned baby food little by little starting at 11 months. I kept jarred fruit around for awhile because it took him a while to like table food fruit.

He is 17 months now and on all table food but when he is being real picky I give him a jar of baby food here and there - I still have some left over.

Milk he drinks about 3 sippy cups a day - give or take. About 20 oz or so...although lately he is drinking less milk.

He eats 3 meals a day and 1 snack meal (yogurt, applesauce, cheese and crackers, etc). He drinks milk with breakfast and water with the 2 other meals. He drinks a sippy cup of milk with his snack or sometime in the afternoon and a sippy cup of milk before bed.

Thanks so much everyone - very helpful!

One more question - for those who give solely table food - do you prepare special meals or do they eat whatever you eat?

I need some new ideas for things I can make for him because we don't eat the way I'd like him to eat and I think he's getting bored of the usual stuff.
