Meals per day

He is. But he certainly doesn’t always eat them! You’re fine, don’t worry about your HV. If your little one is happy to touch, explore and taste, and is eating something along the way, they’re absolutely fine. The quantity will increase. You can play around with milk feeds (timing and quantities) if you’re concerned, but I wouldn’t be worried!
At my last HV visit i raised how i felt my Lb wasn't that interested in food/weaning and they weren't negative about it at all, they recommended i begin to reduce his milk intake so he is maybe hungry for his food! At the time he was taking 4x 8oz bottles so i reduced to 4x 7oz and he began to have alot more interest in his food and now almost 2months later he now has 3x 8oz bottles, 3 small-medium meals and snacks. I just did what works for him and he is getting there now❤️
Hey hun, don’t beat yourself up… my little girl is 9&1/2 months and eats as and when she want sometimes just a crisp sometimes a full meal but barely ever does she eat 3 meals a day. She had her bottles in between and we saw a paediatrician for a seperate issue and who told us as long as she is taking her bottles let her just play with food if she’s not interested then she’s probably not hungry. They go by the saying food before 1 is just for fun. Hope this helps xx
Mines the same! We are 8 and a half month and every meal time is a battle he hates eating! 🫠I’ve tried home cooked vs shop bought but the little man is not interested. I look at TikTok mums making three course meals and we are lucky to get through half a tin of rice pudding 💀 We saw my HV last week as I saw soo worried and felt useless who said it’s very common and as long as he’s getting his milk intake then that will be giving him the calories he needs
I’m not in the same position but food before 1 is just for fun. Don’t worry about what other babies are doing. I think you should only worry between 12-15 months.
