can anyone give me food time-table for my 10 month old son? i’m not sure if hez getting enough now!?
want to know the correct amount of milk, fruits, veggies and cereals to be given. also the correct timings to give these. hez brisk always and sleep without disturbance during night. but he has not gained weight for the past 2 months. also, i’m still breast feeding him. should i give him additional milk? now i’m giving him south indian style home made food only. i’ve not gone to commercial baby products from market.
thanks in advance
Do not worry, if you provide enough healthful food choices he will eat enough. Try not to attach too much importance to when and how much he eats, he might sense it and it could lead to a power struggle. When my daughter started eating she had three meals a day with us and two healthful snacks. She would not eat baby food, so I fed her what we ate. Adults tend to think children can eat more than they need to, if he seems healthy and happy I would not worry. You might mention his weight to his doctor to ease your mind. For serving guides use the food pyramid and let him eat as much as he wants, do not push food it could lead to a weight problem later.
