Meals

We did 2 meals at that age. If it's easier have the 2 meals as breakfast and lunch for now

I did 2 meals at 7 months. My daughters 10 months and we do 7:45 wake up. Milk upon wake up. 8:30 breakfast. Nap at 10:30 with milk. Lunch at 1ish. Milk at 3/3:30 with nap. She has dinner any time form 5 to 7:30 it really depends on when she wakes from her nap. If she wakes early she has dinner at 5 then milk at 7. If she wakes late she has milk and then food 30 minutes to an hour later. We have dinner at 6ish. Baby goes to bed anywhere between 7:30 and 9:30. It really depends on when she wakes in the morning as I don't have an alarm as I'm not at work currently

@Natalie that’s what we do at the moment, just thinking about the next step of dinner x

@Helen thank you, I was hoping to make it easier to cook everyone the same meal but with going back to work soon I think little man will be in bed when we eat dinner. Was thinking of making a dinner for him too and giving it to him for his dinner the next day

Slow cookers probably a good way to start till you get the hang of it. That way you can make dinner for everyone in it in the morning then when it's your babies dinner time you can just take some off for baby and then when you're ready for your dinner you can serve the rest for you. You can always sit and have a drink and a biscuit or something so they're not eating alone

@Helen that’s a really good idea thank you! What age did you go from 2 to 3 meals?

I went to 3 meals around 8 and a half months. She was crawling and starting to show signs of wanting more food so I introduced a 3rd meal. It took a few weeks to consistently do 3 meals. Some days we still have a snacky lunch where it's a bit of everything when I'm out. But she happily has what ever I give
