Weaning

My little one was 6 months old on the 2nd of February however we started weaning him at 5 months (chunky boy who loves his food and was more than ready)! We have been weaning for a good few weeks now, I think we are going through another growth spurt as he’s napping a little more and there has been no filling him the past few days and really struggling to wait for his next bottle at the usual time so we have just upped him to 3 meals a day (we done 1 meal for few weeks then 2 for a few weeks) he’s took to it brilliantly, bossed it since day 1 and is absolutely loving it however my MIL is like that’s to much at his age it should only be 1 meal until he’s at least 8 months. Today we done half a weetabix with some fruit puréed through for breakfast, 1 slice of bread topped with avocado for lunch and then for dinner he had a little portion of blitzed up spaghetti bolognaise plus his 4 8oz bottles🤣 Im worried im feeding him to much now after her comment however I see all over tiktok those “what my 6 month old eats in a day” and its like proper full meals, like those divided plates with all 3 sections full of something and I was initially worried I wasn’t feeding him enough after seeing them and now im confused after what my MIL said🤣 what’s everyone else doing with weaning? Also any weaning recipes that anyone can recommend plus dinner ideas that me and my husband and baby can have would be great, I’m always worried what iv made us for dinner will be a total choking hazard and end up making 2 meals or giving him a pouch then moan I can’t wait to cook more for him🤣🤣🤣

You know your baby better then anyone.... If he needs it he needs it... Your not over feeding he's a happy health boy who loves his food.... My little girl was 7 months today starting weaning at 5.5 months.. Started on one meal for about the first week soon become 2 meals and now it's 3 been 3 for just over a month.... She has 6oz formula at 6am Porridge at half 8 with 4 oz Formula... Couple of snacks Dinner at 1 a full pouch or bowl of what ever I do for her.... With 6oz milk Tea at 5 with 6oz milk... I believer they will only take what they require and nothing more... You know your child better then anyone else xx

Solid starts is a good app for weaning. There are a lot of recipes for all family and information about each product and how to serve it safely

I read your post and my immediate thought was wow that’s so much, but read the comments and othered didn’t think the same. My LB is nearly 6 months, been weaning for 2 weeks and he has 2 spoons of baby rice in the morning and 2 spoons of different veggies in the afternoon which is how much he should be having at around his age and the health visitor said don’t give any more than that. Although he loves it and seems to always want more lol

My oldest daughter was on 3 meals a day by about 7 months and 4 bottles. She was a massive foodie and at 5 still has a massive appetite. (99th centile baby). My 2nd has just started having 2 meals a day but she only eats a few spoonfuls of food at each meal as she's not as into food. Go by what baby needs not what anyone else thinks x
