Truthfully how much solid foods are yalls babies eating?

Question

Some of post I see make me feel like some of these March babies are eating full on adult portions. We are still struggling with food and are lucky to get a few (quite literally 2) bites in from his dinner. I just kind of want to know how much your babies are actually eating...I am afraid I have a picky/poor eater on my hands.

Answer

Honestly every meal for us is different! Sometimes I feel like he has one or two bites that he actually swallows and sometimes I can’t fill the kid up!!

Answer

My son eats like nothing lol.. he throws most of it on the floor and if he does eat something it’s only a bite or two of it. I also get worried see other posts so I’m glad I’m not alone in this.. I have adjusted our schedule over the weekend to breastfeeding him every 3 hrs instead of two to hopefully encourage him to actually eat more solids... we’ll see 🤞🏻

Answer

My son gags a lot, we try to sit him with us for meals and just eat a bit until he gets used to it. He also has no teeth yet. He mostly plays with it, mashes/ finger paints and throws food at the dogs (they love it).

Answer

I'm so glad I'm not alone!! My girl started refusing purees over a month ago, so we recently started trying finger foods. Sometimes she'll just refuse it altogether, and even when she does like it and tries to eat it, I'm pretty sure 99% gets spit back out. It's so frustrating. I just keep trying a couple times a day and hope she somehow figures it out eventually. Uuuggghhhh

Answer

Sometimes my son eats a lot, sometimes just a few bites. Not too worry since his main source of nutrition is formula. Just keep exposing your little to food and eventually he will eat all his food ☺️.

Answer

I’m in the same boat. Mine will grab her food and bring it to her mouth but a lot falls down into her bib 🤷🏽‍♀️ 
When I try to feed her with her spoon she takes it away and feeds herself which is good but she doesn’t like to give it back haha I’ve tried using a different spoon while she holds hers but she is a stubborn one. So truthfully she plays more with her food than actually eats it.

Answer

Mine is a bottomless pit. I’m surprised lol. She eats an egg, some fruit and a bit of oatmeal for breakfast. She’s good with 1/4 to half an avocado, some noodle soup with lots of veggies. More fruit. A bit of cheese. Yogurt. Even food pouches when I’m in a bind. I’m really glad but I still make sure she gets milk first.

Answer

Depends.
Purees...he will eat a whole pouch sometimes reluctantly.
But adult foods...yogurt...chicken...anything we eat too he eats plenty of. And puffs. Hes a good eater!

Answer

Not much at all. We've been doing BLW for 4 months now and initially he was gagging and vomiting with almost every meal.  Now he's been chewing the food and then spitting it out (I'm guessing to avoid the gagging). I'm thinking of taking him to a pediatric dentist because I heard lip and tongue ties can cause these issues and he has both.

Answer

Depends on the day. Some days she eats great some days I can't get her to eat much. I probably stress about it a little too much because I am drying up and getting her to take formula has been a challenge. 
But anything veggies and fruits shes not too excited about but if its carbs like pancakes, toast, pizza 🤦‍♀️, or meats she loves. Lol.
