food for an 11 month old. (breastfeeding, meal, breast milk, infant)

[twilight61108]

I am just curious. How much do/did you feed your infant when they were 11 months old. This including formula/breast milk and baby food/finger foods.

Thanks everyone.

I was breastfeeding 4x a day (7am, 11am, 3pm and 7pm ISH) and three meals a day which included breakfast (a whole grain and fruit) lunch (whole grain/pasta/lentil, veggie and sometimes yogurt) and dinner (beans/lentils/chicken, veggies and a grain). If she was hungry in between she would eat an Earth's Best cereal bar or some fruit with me.


All kids are different. I do believe a healthy habit to install would be to allow your baby/toddler to eat a small/moderate amount every 3 hours either from finger/soft foods or breast/formula milk. . . Same advice they give to adults.

Check out this WHOLE site. This is the exact link to how much a baby should eat, but the rest of the site is great. I offer this link whenever I get the chance

11 year olds will eat anything. Just buy the cheapest rice patty meal or what have you at Aldi's and you are set for a month. I fed my two sons around 6 ounces a day. Now granted they were malnourished for a while but each month I upped the amount they got and the only downside is the cost.

Every child is different. I would say that talking about this with your pediatrican who knows the health & circumstances of your child makes the most sense.

For most, 2 tblsps of simple pureed nonsugary foods...peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peaches, bananas, rice cereal, yogurts...the list can go on.

Liquid can be anywhere b/w 24-32ozs.

Again, this is dependant on the actual child.

For both of mine, they were eating tablefood...what the adults ate...just mashed up & in age appropriate portions. We don't eat much fried, heavy creams/dressings, or spices.

Snack in the am & after naps.

I'm not a short order cook & make one meal. What you see is what you get. Rarely have problems.

I fed my babies as much as they wanted. They always let me know when they were hungry, and I let them eat as much as they liked as long as it was healthy.

I've read some of your posts. You are really funny

By 11 months, my babies weren't eating baby food anymore, but table food. (In addition to formula/breastmilk.) Small pieces of chicken, grilled cheese sandwiches cut into small pieces, hard boiled egg yolks, soft fruits and veggies, cottage cheese, avocado, crackers, potatoes, whatever we were having that was not a choking hazard or too hard or stringy for them. My son was on three meals per day plus snacks and bottles, while my daughter was still on mostly breastmilk with a few small meals/snacks scattered throughout the day. Both eat normally (three meals plus two or three snacks daily) now, in case you're wondering.

My oldest did not eat very well, still does not (5 and some months now) to busy playing. The youngest was an eater from day one, seriously he is 11 months and constantly is either nursing or eating. I feed him what we eat, only more ground up.
