What's your 8 month old doing?

[1timemum]

Just wondering what food and how many BF's other peoples 8 month olds are having? Looking for some ideas on solids.

JD eats:
yoghurt
custard
Farex muslie mixed with mashed banana or pear and apple
Chicken/beef mince (blended)
Sweet potato
pumkin
mash potato
cheese sticks
he has 4 bottles a day. I make them up to 210ml but doesn't always drink all of it. I used to feed him before offering him solids but a nurse told me to swap and offer him his bottle about an hour after his solids. I have JD on a routine that works for us. He has his breakie when he wakes at about 7am, he is then offered his bottle when he starts showing signs of tiredness. He then sleeps and wakes after about 1 hour or most of the time 2 hours. So he wakes about lunch time so he is then offered his solids for lunch which is vegies mixed with either chicken mince, beef mince or tuna. He also gets some fruit pureed and diluted juice after this and again when he shows signs of being tired I offer him a bottle. He gets cheese and or yoghurt for afternoon tea and a bottle when he gets tired. Then vegies again plus meat of some kind at dinner time, then fruit or on weekend custard. Last bottle before bed at around 8ish. He is usually back down about 9.30ish. But this of course changes from day to day depending on his moods or health. Sometimes he misses his afternoon nap and might go down for the night about 8pm. But tonight he will probably go down later as he is still asleep from his nap now. Lets just say that when he stays at his nanna's place he is well and truly worn out.

I am not sure if I am doing this right but its what I do and he is a healthy, happy bub.

DD is a bit over 8 months, but she has at least 4 breasfeeds in the daylight hours and then up to 3 when the sun goes down (depends on the night though).

In terms of solids, she has toast or yoghurt or fruit for brekkie. Then snacks on cruskits or fruit. For lunch, I am pretty slack and she will generally just have whatever I am having, then for dinner she mainly eats jar food (I can't get her to eat things I make) and so its mainly the Only Organic range for 7 month plus.

Our little Rhino will NOT eat baby food or have bottles (which is a big turn around, as I struggled for weeks to get him to take the boob after my milk came in ). He is bf, and eats our dinner (will only just squash peas, corn, and other veges, meats separated into the fibres, slightly squashed rice and sauce, pasta), chews on multigrain bread over white, coffee scrolls (not the icing part) from ferguson plarre including peel, sultanas and cinnamon.
