| Here's a typical day's food. This has changed a lot in just the past few days, and it is still changing. 7-8am - Baby wakes up and has a big nursing session 8:something - Baby sits in his high chair and has a few Cheerios and maybe some pieces of cheese. He doesn't generally eat much now. 10am - Baby is starvacious! This has recently switched from a nursing session into a drink of whole milk in a sippy cup. Today it dawned on me to give him some solids at this feeding too. He ate a lot of crackers (4 or 5 crackers) with cream cheese spread on them. I thought about giving him some kind of vegetable or fruit too, but didn't. Maybe soon! 11am-12noon - Baby nurses down for his nap. 1pm-2pm - Baby wakes up from his nap. He needs a little time to rev up (which is an ideal time to clip his fingernails if they need it -- he is very peaceable and floppy after his nap). Then he has lunch. Lunch is typically an assortment of foods -- crackers, Cheerios, matchsticks of mozzerella cheese, peas (which he ignores), and whatever else seems like a good idea at the time (eg. super-thin matchsticks of raw carrot; hummus on the crackers, etc.). 4:ish - I think we must nurse another time someplace in there. 5:30pm-ish - Baby and I share a snack. I cut an apple into matchsticks. He adores apples! I also offer mozzerella cheese sticks and maybe Cheerios or crackers. 7-7:30pm - Dinner: As of a couple of days ago, baby usually gets whatever we are having for dinner, cut up into little pieces if needed. If we are eating something that isn't suitable for a baby, I'll give him toast with cream cheese and bits of suitable parts of what we are eating, and, again, assorted bits of cheese, vegetables, crackers, etc. He might nurse after this. 9-10pm: Baby nurses to sleep. Through the night: Baby nurses on demand, which could be anything from 2 feedings (last night only 1!) to quite a few. I'm sure I've missed a bunch of nursings and sippy cups of milk and water throughout that listing. We typically use 2-4 sippy cups in a day, some for milk and some for water. | 1 | 2% |
| Lots of Calcium fortified OJ, a bowl of fruit, soup or stew for lunch, cereal for breakfast, finger foods such as fish/chicken for dinner | 1 | 2% |
| Morning: nursing. Breakfast: waffle, little of my cereal, some yoghurt and/or fruit. Snack: crackers and/or fruit. Lunch: bread, leftover dinner, apples, cheese/meat... depends. Snack: goldfish, or crackers, sometimes fruit. Dinner: whatever I cook- he likes potatoes and meat. Nursing about twice during the day, at bedtime, and in the middle of the night. Also drinks water during the day and sometimes a bit of orange j | 1 | 2% |
| Nurses about 6x in 24 hr, several cups of whole milk, about a cup of rice chex, cheese, and pieces of whatever anyone else is eating. | 1 | 2% |
| Nurses morning and evening. Breakfast of scrambled eggs or pancakes at Grandma's. Lunch is whatever Grandma makes for herself and Grandpa, and dinner is whatever mom makes. She drinks whatever is offered - usually milk or water, sometimes juice, and then, of course, breastmilk. Between meals, she'll snack on goldfish crackers, cookies, fruit, teddy grahams, etc. | 1 | 2% |
| On Waking 200ml milk from a bottle Breakfast= 2 Weetbix with milk, sometimes with fruit as well Morning Tea = A banana Lunch = 2 slices of bread with various toppings e.g. cheese, marmite, avocado, tomato, egg. Followed by a pot of yoghurt Afternoon Tea= 1-2 dry crackers Dinner = Anything really. Regular food,no baby food. Could be a pasta dish or rice dish. Not overly excited by potato. Loves fish fingers, chicken nuggets and beefburgers. Followed by 150ml milk from a bottle. | 1 | 2% |
| She drinks 2 cups of milk, 1 of apple or grape juice and water (still nurses a little, too). She eats cereal or breakfast bars and fruit in the morn. and for lunch and/or dinner she'll eat ham or a hot dog or pizza, string cheese, more fruit (usually consists of apple, grape, banana or pineapple), bread sticks or pretzels sticks or gold fish or crackers (depending on what she is in the mood for that day). Her diet is not my personal preference but she is and has been a strictly finger foods only baby since 10 mos. She does not like to take food from a spoon and does not like to try anything new! (NO veggies either!) She gets a daily vitamin to make up for the lack in quality foods she enjoys eating....(she got her daddy's eating habits :-)) | 1 | 2% |
| Start out with 6 oz milk and some kind of breakfast food (either .5 waffle, .5 poptart, cheerio's + milk, warm cereal. A cup of juice or water and a cup of fruit as a midmorning snack. At noon another 6 oz cup of milk and .5 slice of bread with either lunchmeat or peanutbutter or cheese. Midafternoon snack some crackers. At 4 pm another 6 oz cup of milk and at 6 pm dinner time. Normally she eats whatever we eat. If she hates it (like bbq - which I don't like her eating this anyway) she gets a jar of babyfood. During the day she has cups of drink available at all times. And that's pretty much it. The day just described is a very good day if she eats it all, normally she won't. | 1 | 2% |

| I am still a bit sad about weaning. It was MUCH easier than I had anticipated, I think this was due to following his lead totally. We went straight to sippy cups and have by-passed bottles all together | 1 | 2% |

Now she doesn't seem to care if when she sees them. | 1 | 2% |
