My baby has breakfast at home, then daycare gives milk and their breakfast, then milk and lunch, pm snack. Once we get home we do dinner. But she’s a bottomless pit. It’s crazy how hungry she is. All the time.
It’s hard to say how much to give because one day my son will eat a lot at some/all meals and another day he won’t. But he definitely tells us he’s done eating by pushing it away lol
I try to offer two foods per meal like fruit and oatmeal, a sandwich and pretzels, etc for breakfast and lunch. My son has snacks through the day if he wants what I am eating. For dinner I give him a little bit of everything I made for the meal and go from there. Protein, veggie, starch. If he eats all of the protein and only wants more of that I give it to him. When he starts feeding the dog his food I know he’s done! He also only gets whole milk to go to sleep at night about 8-10oz and another 6oz if he wakes up hungry at 2am.
I keep feeding her until she signs or says all done. Sometimes it’s a lot and sometimes it’s a little
