Hi all,
As the title suggests I feel like I've been given bad advice with regards to weaning. We live in France (if that matters) and I have a feeling this will be long so Tia!
My DD is just 6 months old and weighs 6.4kgs (14lbs1) last month she only put on 200g and has now slipped below the bottom line on the chart.
At her 5 month pediatric appointment the Dr told us to start offering a little bit of fruit or veg here and there to get her used to different tastes, textures etc. I felt wary as I know you should wait til 6 months but I guess I was a little a excited so I did as the dr suggested.
At her appointment yesterday the Dr was a little concerned that she hadn't put much weight on so told us she was going to change her regime to help her put on weight.
Up until now she was having 4 bottles of 210ml + 7 scoops of formula plus a little bit of banana or purée here an there, although we often had to force feed her the last 30-60mls of most of her bottles.
The pediatre has suggested this:
Morning - bottle of 180 + 6 scoops
Lunch - 200g of vegetable plus 30g of fish or meat, plus dessert (half banana, little yoghurt etc.)
16.00 - bottle of 180 + 6
Dinner - 200g of semolina or tapioca with 3 teaspoons of grated cheese and a knob of butter.
