What do you feed your LO

Question

My son is still drinking bottles more than he’s eating solid foods. It’s hard finding anything he likes. He even wakes up multiple times a night for a bottle and screams until he gets one. I’m embarrassed to say this but I’m talking four 6 oz bottles a night. It’s ridiculous. So any advice on what to feed him during the day? Or any advice on how to him to not eat any bottles at night?

Answer

My daughter is 11 months and sometimes she nurses more than she eats solid food too. It’s hard sometimes. 
I feed her scrambled eggs, noodles, pancakes, Cheerios with milk, avocados, hamburger, chicken,basically  anything that I eat, and she still eats baby food. Hope it gets easier for you soon 💕

Answer

For breakfast, mine gets a bowl of oatmeal and half a banana, for lunch I give him deli meat with some shredded cheese and a fruit purée. Dinner I give him whatever we are eating (fish, rice, soft veggies, loves sweet potatoes, meatballs). For snacks I give him baby yogurt, soft fruits, puffs. He still also gets 30 oz of formula throughout the day. The solids keep him satisfied to sleep through the night.

Answer

You are not alone. My daughter takes 3 bottles a night of water with half a scoop of formula. I’ve tried everything to stop it but nothing has worked.

Answer

Food before 1 is just for fun. Milk is still all they need and baby makes up for it in the night. My 10.5m old still wakes many times. He eats more fruits than anything. He loves fried apple with cinnamon. Blueberries. Roasted broccoli.

Answer

My son eats toast/banana/yogurt/blueberries for bfast... a pouch for lunch with blueberries if he didn’t have them at bfast - and sometimes pb&j.; And dinner is usually a sweet potato... sometimes cheese or chicken. Or if we have any other stuff around I’ll give him that too.

Answer

My son has 8-9oz bottles so maybe trying a bit more might help? He’s probably hungry which is why he’s waking up at night. Have you tried maybe giving him pablum/baby cereal before bed? We give my son some & then a bottle & he sleeps right through! He eats through the day, usually more fruits & veggies, steamed & then mashed up. I basically give him anything soft enough to mash, so he’s tried spaghetti too, along with tuna & chicken & scrambled eggs.

Answer

I feed my son breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in between. he has 3-4 4oz bottles a day and sleeps all night. my son didnt eat a lot of solids at first, but I kept offering. I feed him whatever we are eating and he also has at least 1 smoothie a day. he loves smoothies! it's a good way to get fruits in, too. that's all I did and my son started weaning off the bottle. every baby is different but I try to offer snacks and things before a bottle. my son loves pretzels, veggie straws, watermelon, things like that. at night, I would start doing less and less milk and hopefully he will realize its not worth getting up for it. I did that when my son was younger and it worked. work on self soothing techniques during naps during the day and hopefully you can start using them for night as well. I hope this is helpful! xo
