what is Finns daily diet?? I mean, how
much and what do u feed him? Any 3rd stage
babyfood?
I'm just having a hard time thinking up
foods to buy Caitlyn.. her breakfast
bottle has baby food in it..(thats the
only only only way she will eat when she
gets up..) then we give her usually the
same stuff as Jacob throughout the day.
But shes only gained a pound and a half
since her 9 month check-up.. she was 21
pounds exactly, now shes 22 and a half. So
im a little worried shes not eating
enough.

a pound and a half doesn't sound like a
bad gain. i think now that they're walking
it's supposed to slow down. finn hasn't
been to the doctor since the end of august
and he weighed just under 23 pounds. he
goes for his 1 year checkup on nov 6 and
i'm not expecting a big gain. now that he
can walk all he does all day long is walk
around the house, he seriously never
stops.
anyway, he hasn't had baby food since
about 7.5 months, he's completely on table
foods.
up until yesterday he would get-
breakfast: 6oz formula
lunch: cut up mixed veggies w/ pasta, hot
dog with peas or carrots, mac and cheese
w/ broc, toast and fruit, etc.
4pm:6oz formula
dinner: whatever we have- chicken,
vegetables, rice, pasta, hamburger,
ravioli, beans, etc. if it wasn't baby
friendly he would have a jam and cream
cheese sandwich or something easy.
7pm: 6oz formula
NOW (as in, starting today) he gets-
breakfast: today it was half an apple cut
up and peeled wih dry kix and 6oz milk in
a cup. i'll switch it up, he loves fruit,
toast, waffles, pancakes. the only thing
he doesn't like is scrambled eggs.
snack: dry cheerios with the rest of his
milk from breakfast. he also loves graham
crackers, animal crackers, goldfish.
lunch: same as usual with 6oz milk.
he'll get an afternoon snack if he wants
with the rest of his lunch milk.
dinner he'll have the usual with water.
6oz milk before bed.
he really will eat anything and i think he
eats a lot for his age. yesterday i took
him to lunch at wendy's (ok, i took myself
to lunch at wendy's and he just happened
to be with me) and he ate an entire
hamburger and an entire side of mandarin
oranges. the boy can eat!

oh man lol. Caty eats like a pig when she
finds something she likes. She loves pizza
and pizza crust.. and chicken nuggets.
Thats basically how she eats.. only
difference is she has a sippy all day long
readily available with juice or koolaid or
water. A friend of mine only gives her 9
month old something to drink when he eats,
and i think thats mean.. kids get thirsty
just like we do.
last night for dinner she had mashed
potatoes, cream corn, and applesauce. She
wouldnt eat the chicken we made, but she
guzzled down the taters.

does she eat with a spoon?
finn also has a sippy of water kicking
around during the day.
thats kinda good thing u posted bridget,
im in the process of trying to get
jordynne to switch to table foods, and i
always just have a blank mind thinking of
food to make for her. she has her 4 top
teeth that are almost all the way in and
the 2 down the bottom. She ate some hot
dog cut up and mixed veggies today, dunno
how much she ate of it though all the kids
were makin amess with it. Sometimes she
eats spaghetti if she can make a mess with
it, she hates hates hates to be spoon fed
she always pushes it away shes like little
miss independent and has to feed herself,
so i try and like give her food thats not
as messy. i forget abotu goldfish crackers
and i actually did buy some haha now that
i realize it. She just now is starting to
actually drink outa sippy cups.

finn hates being spoon fed too so he
doesn't get stuff like yogurt and
applesauce.
keep in mind they don't really need teeth
to eat. they mash with their back gums,
not chew with their front teeth.
just keep her away from the no-no foods,
like peanut butter and nuts, shellfish (i
think? we don't give finn any seafood),
and honey.

Caitlyn has had peanutbutter.. she loves
the stuff. The onlt time ur supposed to
keep it away from them is if there is a
history of peanut allergies in the
family.
Caty loves being spoon fed.. Shes learned
to eat with a fork really well.. a spoon
shes getting decent at but tends to turn
it upside down before it hits her mouth
lol.
Today she refused her bottle.. so she got
a sippy with soy milk, some kix, and some
grapes. she loved it.
Lunch she got mashed taters with gravy
from KFC, some green beans, and gatorade
to drink.
Right now shes suckin down a sippy of soy
milk and munching on cinnamon graham
crackers.

peanut butter is the one food i won't mess
with. that would be such an awful allergy
to have live with, i'm just not willing to
chance it.

i'm waiting until at least 2 for peanuts
and shellfish. i think it's a year for egg
whites, though they can have the yolk
anytime. i "cheated" and gave finn
scrambled eggs last week (3 weeks from his
birthday), but he hated them. i wish he'd
liked them! that would have been a quick
healthy breakfast for him.
i'm pretty sure it's 2 for honey also, but
that's due to botulism, not allergies.

This is just random (and since finn
doesn't like eggs it doesn't really
apply)but... don't give them too much egg
yolk because its got way to much
cholesterol!!
ha, can you tell I'm a nutrition major?
Guess what I learned about this
week..EGGS!

no nut allergies run in my family.. and
she took to it quite well.
B, try when you cook the egg, to put
shredded cheddar on top of after its
done.. thats the only way my kids will eat
it.

william loves his peanut butter aswell. i
see no reason to give it to him as there
is no history of nut allergies in our
family
