    Lol about the poos! I love that they roll off into the loo but man do they stink!!

    DD still has a lot of milk. I can't get her to have breakfast before heading to work/daycare, she just won't eat it So she has a feed at about 6 as we're waking up, and then a small top up at 7:30 before we leave.

    At daycare she eats a lot! They give her really special food, makes me feel a bit lame in comparison lol. A typical day would be mixed chopped fruit for a snack, she has maybe a cup full. Then something like chicken rissoles or lasagna for lunch, and if she only has a tiny bit they'll offer her some of the vege puree they offer the other kids. Afternoon snack is something else cooked, or a savoury muffin or something. Then a bit of what we have for dinner, she loves her veges so she'll eat a lot of mashed potato, peas, corn and carrots, and play with a bit of meat.

    On a day like today where she's home with me she eats a bit less, but generally whenever I have something we share it Sounds like Miss I is doing great and loving it!

    Hamish is 15 months and a big big boy but in a day he eats"
    2 pieces of toast or 2 weetbix then a yogurts and a piece of fruit.
    Cheese or fruit for morning tea
    pasta or sanga or scrambled eggs for lunch
    fruit or custard for arvo tea
    what ever we are having for tea - he will eat a derert bowl full then has some fruit or cheese or what ever he didnt eat during the day
    He will then proceed to eat off our plates after he is out of his high chair and then polish off his sister tea
    He also has 200mls or cows milk first thing in the morning, before bed at lunch and before bed at night - then one or 2 bottles over night.
    He has his sippy cup with water all day when ever he is after it.

    Sounds like miss I is doing a great job!

    Glas Isla's eating has picked up. Finn's a guts, always has been lol! He typically eats:

    Breakfast
    2 weetbix with milk or a big bowl of porridge with stewed fruit
    Piece of toast

    Snack
    Cruskit

    Lunch
    Bowl of lumpy vegies with pasta or couscous
    Half a sandwich/wrap

    Snack
    Fruit/rice cake

    Dinner
    Huge bowl of risotto/pasta etc
    Yogurt or stewed fruit

    He still has 4 or 5 breastfeeds a day but only has the occasional sip of water - he much prefers tipping it upside down!

    Goodness, I don't think I even offer that much to Milly She eats when I eat, but not full meals to herself. Mostly just a bit of whatever I'm having, or a few grapes if I'm trying to lure her away from the fridge... She's still getting mostly breastmilk. It's only when I can't stop (or simply can't be bothered) to feed her that I give her solid, separate snacks through the day. At dinnertime, she gets a pretty fair amount of anything we're having. Sometimes she eats it all, most times a lot ends up on the floor and not much in her mouth.

    Maybe I'm doing it wrong, maybe that's why she was underweight at her 12 month check?
