Dani, it's taken me a while to work out what to do re food. I am happy with where we are now. I give her an organic oat cereal I get from woollies (the brand is bellamy) with fruit. For lunch I usually resort to a tin, for variety!! anD dinner is vegies. She really only likes vegies if there's sweet potato included, so i do sweet pot plus pumpkin and or choko, brocolli, zuchinni, carrots. That's it so far. The fruit I give is pear apple and banana. I have uped her to 3 meals a day, but this was after one month. i will start giving yoghurt and cheese at around 7 months. I will start meat then too, and may in the meantime, let her chew on a chop bone.
I give her breast milk before each solids meal (at about 7am, 11am and 4.30pm) and then give a bottle just before bed. I also offer a formula top up after each solids meal (I give solids at roughly 8am, 12 midday and 5pm). The bottle top up is usually half an hour later. She usually only has 20-100mls. So Im down to three breastfeeds a day plus one at night if she wants it (more so now she's sick).
Also a good mix of food is avocado and pear or avo and apple mixed together, she liked that!! Once I start cheese I'll probably do avo, cottage cheese and maybe some apple too. There's lots of good recipes on teh net, and there's a baby and toddler thread on belly belly under recipes.
anyway, enough crapping on from me. Im hoping for a decent night but I know it's not likely, poor coco's nose has run all day and her cough sounds awful.
have a good sleep everyone xoxoxo
