my baby was 3.3 kg's weight at birth..born 3 weeks early...i didnot have any GD prob..but she was heavy.i will post her diet chart here

brkfast- 8.30 am---mixed cerelas/ragi/cracked wheat porridge - 1/4 to 1/2 bowl

brunch----ne fruits like banana,apple,avacado,pears,peaches etc

lunch 1 pm---rice with ne curries wat we eat(mostly sambar/rasam/dal/laban) with one egg yolk scrambled or fish boiled or nething which we eat as sidedish..she loves our food

evening 5 pm--fruits salad/biscuits/custard made of rice poder n lil vanilla

dinner--8 pm--dosa or idly or roti or nething we eat..

she doesnot have any stomach upset prob..she empties her bladder atleast 15 times a day..and her bowel twice a day..depends if she eats more she empties thrice..

her overall sleeping time a day---9 to 12 hrs

she rolled over by 4 months,sat by 7.5 months,stood by 8 months,crawled by 7 months,right now she holds on furnitures n walk ..so i guess evevryhting ok regarding her milestones.

yup my inlaws are from karnataka,,and andra,,both to mention !
thanks for tips on tamarind things n mil worry !!well, things with my mil are quite understood,,i will not need to throw the food she will offer me,,,,
couple days,,i was so much curious to know about the things they make aftr pregnancy,i couldnt resist asking her right away and ended up havng an open discussn with her and she was open in understndng the fact that it mightnot be proper idea if she wld give me somethng thats new for me,,,,felt quite relieved and i guess i m lucky about that,,touch wood to have such a caring n mature mil ! i hope its continues to be the same way !!!!!

nways,,lets come to your prob,,thats the worry,,,mine are takn care of now :)

3.3kgs is irrespectv of mther havng gd or not,,no worries.its a good wght,,my baby was appx of same wght !

brunch----ne fruits like banana,apple,avacado,pears,peaches etc/////no comments.

lunch 1 pm---rice with ne curries wat we eat(mostly sambar/rasam/dal/laban) with one egg yolk scrambled or fish boiled or nething which we eat as sidedish..she loves our food///happy to hear about her intrst in food,touch wood :)

evening 5 pm--fruits salad/biscuits/custard made of rice poder n lil vanilla///can you alter this with juice or a serving of yogurt,,add in some cheese serrving !

dinner--8 pm--dosa or idly or roti or nething we eat..///good,,offer rice as well,if pssble.

she doesnot have any stomach upset prob..she empties her bladder atleast 15 times a day..and her bowel twice a day..depends if she eats more she empties thrice../////good bowel schedule !...

her overall sleeping time a day---9 to 12 hrs /// at 10months,,good !would be happy if the no of hrs are atleast 12hours and not 9hrs...

her developments looks good as well ! no worries,,,
But, But,,offer her 6-7oz of formula before sleep..10month old needs that feed before sleep,,so if you are offerng 5oz SOMETIMES(as i am reading it),,,make sure that she DRINKS that,,atleast 6-7oz is required...
the total feeds of her formula or bm should be : 3-4 feedings on demand or 24-32 ounces total per day///////
so i see less intake of formula or Bm,,makes sure she drinks that..dont alter solids for formula,,i understand your baby has acceptd solids well, but she needs that iron n nutrients that formula or bm can only give until 1 year..after 1 year i will not force you for A MUST servng of so and so qty of milk...also,,considrng that she is 3.3kgs,,i would expct her to drink atleast 24-30oz in total,,instead of just 15-18oz !!!!!

your baby is not havng problem,,like i said before she is maturng to toddler age and she is restless about it,,its quite common for 10-11months to 12-14months babies to behave like they want to play at the middle of nght ! its thr way of expressng that she had a good sleep and m ready to get going!
when she does that,,get some book in bed, and read to her,,see if it settles her back to sleep,,dont put on the light but let her sit and look around,,teach her diff between day and night,,by showng the window panes,,and repeat,,night means sleep,,see look at the window ! i started that from 7months and it quite worked when she started clappng her hands in middle of night, or wantd to play,,and she would sit for a while,,look at me, at her dad and she would go back to sleep,,saying ni ni(sleep,,niiii(night))...but she took a while in understndng that !!!
10mnths just the right age to teach them words and wat thr relevance are,,so start doing that...longer run it will help your child to not only adopt healthy habits but they will learn to obey you,,which is like easy parenting in long run,,but for that efforts required right now are very hard !!!
so continue doing that..offer her bath before the servng of full feed of formula or bm and see if she feels fresh to do that..make sure her sleepng hrs in day time,,esp after 6-7evenings is slowly lowrd or let me say cut it down,,if it requires..
also addins,,make sure she drinks water n other fluids quite well during the daytimes,,and see that offrng the water in midnight,,might make her back to sleep...

rest everythng looks good to me,,and i dont see ne other reasn excpt that you are entrng the toddler life ! welcome,,mommaa says your baby,,..be ready to see my restlessness..i expect her to come back to normal sleep routiness without ne other probs,,from 14months onwards !

good luck ! hema replied. sorry forgot to add abt formula n bm....she will have app 15 to 18 oz of formula a day n rest bm..b4 sleep i will offer 5 oz of formula sometimes.
