Feeding:Reply to Girija and Problems feeding my 10 mo old

Hi Girija,
I too was looking for Yo baby and finally found it at a few places - Safeway, Whole Foods Market and Savemart. This is in Northern California. I don't know what stores you have where you live. The best way to find out (that's how I found out) is to go to the Stonyfield Farms website www(dot)stonyfield(dot)com and click on Store Locator among the options on top in the blue bar. You can choose the type of store and then the product and your zip code. My son loves Yo Baby yoghurt. But he also likes plain organic yoghurt. He likes any kind of yoghurt I suppose. Yo baby has less active cultures and some more calories than regular yoghurt. It is just a little sweet. My son doesn't drink much milk so I let him have yoghurt instead to make sure he gets enough calcium.

BTW, babies' teeth come out at very widely varying times. So there's nothing to worry about. Also, babies at this age who have cut teeth have only a few front teeth. They are hardly useful in chewing solid food. Babies do just fine using their gums to mash food although only to some extent. So you will have to pre-mash the food a bit or make to food soft enough for them to mash using their gums.

Now about my own problems...

My son is 10.5 months old. He eats all kinds of solid food, but he isn't interested in milk. He eats the right amount of solid food, but not more than that to make up for the less milk. So he is very underweight (2nd or 3rd percentile). His pediatrician told me to give him 1 teaspoon of butter 3 times with his breakfast, lunch and dinner. I am worried that this might affect his digestive system in the long run. Also, with all this fad about Atkins diet, I hope his diet is not changing into a low carb, high fat one. He only breastfeeds twice at night and that too, only because he is sleeping. If he was awake he would probably refuse. During the day he is at daycare and he refuses to take milk. I send a bottle of breastmilk everyday and I have started concentrating it with similac powder so that whatever he takes will amount to double the amount. He loves to drink water - seems addicted to it! :-)
I try not to worry about his weight. His doctor says that the standard curves are based on American babies and also mostly formula fed babies so it is not a good indicator. But she must be worried too if she is asking me to feed him butter.
I make it a point not to force feed him and to not let him feel any of my stress or disappointment at mealtimes.
How often and what things do you guys feed your babies? How much milk do they drink?
Thanks for your support. Its great to have a place to discuss these things and share thoughts.
