How many meals is your little one on now?

My son is nearly 9 months and currently having breakfast and dinner which he is demolishing so think he’s ready for lunch now too but everywhere I look it says to start 3 meals at day at around 10 months

My little one is only just 8 months and will be having 3 meals plus 1 snack, she’s at nursery though as I had to go back to work so it’s easier for me to manage as I only have to think about the weekends 😅 I think it’s a case of just doing what works best for your little one

@Abbie how many bottles is she having a day? My little one has only just started to eat all his meals and seems to really be enjoying it all now so definitely think I’ll give him lunch now too, just worried that I’ll be over feeding him as he’s quite the chunk already!

I’ve been concerned that I’m not feeding my almost 9 month old enough. She currently has breakfast, boob before naps and dinner with yoghurt afterwards and boob before bed. She couldn’t care less about snacks or lunch yet 🤷🏻‍♀️ She’s a perfect weight and she’s happy so I’ve told myself to stop worrying!! X

8 months and zero meals 😆 she tried a bit of food as and when she’s interested. We create the opportunities for her or it just happens naturally no pressure

Been on 3 meals since 6 months old. He has 2 snacks now aswell x

We’re nowhere near 3 meals a day at 8 months old. We’ve had back to back viral bugs and all sorts which has thrown weaning right off. We’re in no rush xx

My little boy is only just 8 months and he's on 2 meals and 2 snacks x

My LO will be 9 months on Monday and he is on 2 meals. I have been thinking that it’s probably about time to introduce lunch (and he seems ready) but i get overwhelmed by the idea of cleaning the mess 3 times per day 😂

My 8 month old, (9 next week) is on 3 meals, usually has a dessert after lunch, 1-2 snacks depending on the day; usually a biscuit or crisps or something x

@Adele I thought this too with babies still having their milk, and my little one will just sit and eat and eat 🤣 but he’s never been sick so I don’t think you have to worry about over feeding x

@Sammy this makes me feel better we are on one meal and he has between 1000-1200ml a day of formula.

Need some inspo for meals any ideas?

@Bea whatever your eating x

@Alisha yes same 😂 he will just eat and eat if he could! I’m definitely going to try him on lunch then! X

Thank you everyone x

@Bea I bought a book called What Mummy makes on Amazon, it’s great, hundreds of recipes which the whole family can have just adapted for babies too, also a great section in there called freezer stash which I plan on bulk making soon to save myself time when making him breakfast and lunch x

8 months old boy is on 22oz formula and 2 meals (= 1/2 pouch + some fruit) and one snack!

@Adele worth a shot! X

@Adele oh I’ll check it out thanks hun.

Hey, my little girl is 8 months, a week off 9m actually and is having breakfast lunch and dinner. Depending how well she ate at meals she often wants a snack too x

Only just went on to 3 meals, before she was having breakfast and dinner but only added lunch today. Going well so far x

My 8 month old is 3 meals a day with water and 4/5 6oz bottles a day, she was never a big milk drinker and much prefers her food x

9 months old today, 91st percentile baby, 3 meals and 3x 8oz bottles
