I'm somewhat unsure how much I am supposed to be feeding my baby girl at 10 months. She gets a 210ml feed for breakfast, followed an hour or so later by baby cereal (3 tablespoons), then lunch at 11.45/12, which is usually a jar equivalent (125g) of veg or fruit, and sometimes half or even a whole yoghurt if she still seems hungry. At about 2.30, she gets 210 ml of milk again, then at teatime (5pm), another jar equiv of either 125g or 160g, and sometimes a top up of yoghurt, depending on the consistency of the food. Before bed, she gets another milk feed of 240ml.
She is a fairly fussy eater, only eating sweetish veg and most fruit, but attempts to give her meat have been pretty unsuccessful, which is why I give her such a lot of yoghurt.
She is also quite chubby (dare i say it, fat?), weighing 10kg and roughly 70cm tall. The dr doesn't seem too concerned, but said I shouldn't feed her any more than I do at present.
Now, 2 questions: is she getting too much food? And should I be dramatically cutting her milk? I have read that from 1 year plus, about 300ml is enough to satisfy their needs, and my daughter gets roughly 660m.
Sorry for the long post, but would appreciate any pointers.
Thanks
