    Lucas sometimes eats every little and other times eats for scotland! This is a typical day:

    Breakfast: 1 weetabix, 1 finger of toast
    Lunch: 2 annabel karmel cubes of savoury, yogurt, orange
    Afternoon Snack: biscuit or raisins
    Dinner: 3 AK cubes, jelly, piece of fruit

    Hope that helps.

    freya will some times eat loads and some times not that much at all. an average day would be some thing like this.

    she comes in my bed in the early hours and feeds on and off from me, so isnt that hungry at breakfast.

    brakfast: small bowl of cereal, most of which she throws on the floor and the dog eats, our dog is getting so fat lol.

    doesnt normaly have a morning snak as is asleep if we are home, if we are out then she might have a biscuit or raisons.

    lunch: sandwich, 1 slice with crust cut off she likes ham, cheese, marmite, she also normaly has some pices of cheese and bits of tomato or cucumber with it, fruit or yog for pudding.

    breastfeed in afternoon

    Dinner: freya sized portion of what ever we are having, i jsut put it on a plate for her now and she feeds herself, i supose it would be the equivalent of half a stage 3 jar. followed by fruit or yog.

    she drinks diluted pure apple or orange juice through out the day.

    she is 13 months and weighed 19lb 13 last monday. xx

    Shreddies for brekkie
    Snack, Bananna & Raisins (later found half bananna in a stacker cup)
    Lunch: Moo Organic cheese stick, Tuna sanny with cucumber slices, frube yoghurt
    Snack: Satsuma & biscoti biscuit
    Tea: Fish fingers and loads of veg, loves her veg
    Dessert: Raspberrys and yoghurt
    Supper about 1onz of milk if your lucky
    Juice throughout the day, she loves her juice and drinks loads.

    Oh looking back seems loads, everyone says they have never meet a lo to eat so much, she loves her grub but is on the go all day so needs the calories! She is still tiny, was 19lb 9oz this week, really don't know where she puts it!

    thanks for the replies ladies.
    im pleased to say mia managed the best part of a piece of toast for brekkie!!

    I think my plan today is to try and let her have a little less milk, see if she eats more then. Maybe im letting her fill up on milk to much? She has already wolfed 8 ozs down this morning. She loves her milk bless. Lets see how i get on, and if she will eat more.
