My daughter has about 4 little pouches a day, she gets one almost after each bottle, and then she finishes her night off with a bottle of breast milk or 2
Every day is different! We try for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as snacks. Our little one seems to prefer food over milk but I know some little aren’t as interested in food so just do what you can each day! Food before one is for fun 🙂 Edit; also we are doing BLW so we normally give the same as we are eating if it’s appropriate/healthly
Man yall are so lucky my girl will barely eat anything just a few spoonfuls here and there
My son has breakfast, lunch, and dinner and we just added a snack between lunch and dinner this week. I breastfeed him about an hour before breakfast, and then usually about 30 minutes before all the other times he eats. That's just how it works into our schedule though with work/daycare.
What do you all consider as meals and as snacks?
@Linda we’re doing BLW so meals are a smaller plate to whatever we are eating so breakfast would be eggs, fruit, yogurt, meat etc. and snacks are fruit, baby crackers etc.
@Linda we use the baby food pouches for snacks she gets one in the morning and one again if she’s still hungry after her bottles and some of what we eat for dinner, Alfredo,spaghetti, Mac and cheese that’s what we feed her for dinner since it’s soft
For meals I always include a protein, either a fruit or veggie or both, and sometimes a grain. Like for breakfast I usually do an egg, a fruit, and either sausage or toast/English muffin/pancake. Lunch is usually protein and fruit and veggie, dinner is usually protein, a carb like pasta or rice, and veggie. Snacks are usually a fruit and some type of cracker or plain cheerios or puffs. I haven't given my baby yogurt yet just because he doesn't like us feeding him usually😅
@Veronica how much milk does your baby still drink with the 3 meals and snacks ?? We are doing 3 meals with my daughter now also but she is refusing milk …
We try for 3 a day but sometimes it’s just 2 and a snack depending how busy we are !
