Re: How Much Food At Each Meal?
So long as she is offered food, it's up to her how much of it she eats. I think that's plenty for a baby of that age. We have 2 babies of that age at daycare where I work and one is there from 6am to 6pm so all her meals are at daycare. She has 1 weetbix for breakfast with milk on it at 7am, a jar of fruit at 9:15am, a jar of meat/veg (or similar) for lunch at 11:30am, a jar of yoghurt at 2:15pm and another meat/veg jar at 5pm. She has a bottle when she comes in at 6am that Mum gave her that's nearly finished when she gets there, she has another one after lunch then has a sleep, then has another one when Mum comes back to get her at about 6pm and she has that on the way home and goes to sleep. Another one at the same age has breakfast before coming, she gets there at 8:30/9am and has a sandwich with fruit for lunch at daycare, then she goes home and has tea at home with her family but she doesn't have morning and afternoon tea. She also has 3 bottles a day. One at about 9:30 then goes to sleep and one at about 2:30 and has another sleep. Mum gives her one at home before bed. I guess it depends on the baby with how much they eat in a day. Sorry for the long-winded answer, just wanted to show 2 completely different diets for 2 healthy babies of the same age.
