and their age? i think it would be really useful

elijah at 6 months is still breastfed on demand

eli has breakfast everyday (usually either pureed fruit with expressed breastmilk and baby rice to thicken or organic baby porridge/cereal with ebm)

some days he also has something around teatime - pureed vegetables or sometimes fruit, but we have not been doing this everyday as he stopped pooing for a while : /

im hoping to start a few bits and pieces of fingers foods in the next couple of weeks, and elijah will be having his first meaty taste of chicken and some lentils this week too

we use mostly fresh fruit and vegetables but the seasonal range isnt great just now, plus we have been snowed in so we also have used some organix jars which dont have anything except what they are meant to in them

it would be really nice to read what other people are up to

ava is 9 months next week
she has one bf on waking

breakfast is porridge or weetabix

bf mid morning and a snack (rice cake or a few organix carrot puffs)

lunch usually finger foods (mini sarnies, vege batons, cheese etc...)

dinner some kind of homemade meal or an ella's kitchen pouch in emergencies!, natural yoghurt with fruit

5 oz formula before bed
8 oz formula at 11pm

Hannah is 6 months today (happy 1/2 birthday princess ) lol

she has:

7.30 - 8oz stage 2 formula (just finishing box and will change to stage 3)
9.00 - 2oz milk made into porridge with either mashed banana or fruit puree
11.30 - 8oz formula
12ish - 1/2 stage 1 savoury jar (or equivalent amount homemade stuff - use both) + finger food
3.30 - 8oz formula
5.30 - 1/2 savoury jar + 1/2 fruit pot/fruity custard or fromage frais
7.15 - 8oz bottle
7.30 - bed!!!

awww happy 6 months hannah! she sounds like a hungry girl - elijah can manage nearly a whole jar of fruity stuff but doesn't bf that often - about 4 hours in between

that sounds exactly the same as what Izzy was on at 6 months

She's always been a hungry monkey Mari but that said she doesn't always finish all that - she has been ill all week so a bit hit and miss. Like us all I suppose - has hungry days and not so hungry days.

I just had to log in on firefox and edit that post as I wrote it on IE and the bloody thing wont put breaks in so it all comes out as one big blob of writing - hopefully makes more sense now

haha much easier to read! i had to think really hard about when elijah eats...obviously it isnt as exact but i guess he still (sigh) cluster feeds for a good hour - two hours in the evening and is up in the night sometimes

When Amelia was 6 months she was having Breakfast and Lunch and on demand bf's inbetween. For breakfast she'd have some baby cereal/porridge and for lunch I'd cook her a veggie meal. Things from the AK books under her age range. I didn't try her with meat until she was 7 months and then I started her on chicken.

thank you! i am the queen of the weaning forum hahaha
