    "Food is fun until they're 1" is how it works. Are you BFing? If so, breast milk is completely adequate nutrition in the first year. My DD would "snack" on solids for the first year and get most of her nutrition from BFing. I'm sure it works the same with formula too if you aren't BFing

    Personally I'd offer food/whatever you're having several times a day, but I wouldn't worry if he's not interested or eating much. 'Food is fun until they're one' and all that.

    And as for the night waking and feeds being *because* he's not having three meals, they're just talking out of their you-know-what's!

    DD3 is nearly 10 months old and doesn't have 1 meal, let alone 3. She doesn't wake through the night though, her weight is in 25th percentile from day 1. She has zero interest in food and I just offer her food each meal, picks at it, but not much gets swallowed!

    Ah good, I thought it was okay but first time mum paranoia you know? Though I guess it won't be a waste of money, they seem convenient to take when I'm out and i can always pass them on, no point wasting them
