Calling experienced mums!
DS (22 weeks) has now had 5 days of some food (baby rice, pumpkin and pear so far). He gets breastfed morning, evening and late evening, and about 14 oz of expressed milk in a bottle late morning and early afternoon (14 oz in total over 2 feeds). He has the food late morning and early evening (after most of the milk feed).
He seems keen on the veg etc and happy to eat as much as I'll give him, but obviously don't want to overdo it. SO far he has had up to 10-12 tiny spoons at each sitting, which seems rather a lot, but he's been fine with that, no probs with tum, digestion etc, I wondered:
- is there some kind of amount guide for food? like 'not more than 30 g' or something?, a maximum ceiling.
- At what point in weaning do you offer water? Is it only once they start protein?
- What age would you introduce a 'breakfast', i.e. bit of oats or whatever after the morning feed?
Any tips appreciated!
