hi ! my son is now going to be 9 mnths old and looking at the board i feel i may not be giving my baby enough ! can anyone pl. second my plan here !
when he wakes up i give him 4-5tblsp. of gerber cereal in formula with 1/2 or full 1 far of gerber fruit mixed as bfast. then followed by 4oz of formula after an hr or so. then for lunch kitchdi i give him little rice+yellowmoong+red one with little gheee and sometimes with added veggies. that would be about 1/2 katori and then again milk 4 oz after an hr or so. then milk again in the evening and then for dinner i give him gerber 1+1/2 2nd jar foods of veggies mixed with gerber jar cereal. then milk before his bed.

i aslo give him moong daal mixed with veggies and sometimes dalai ! what i really need is some input on how much veggies and fruits and grains to give. is what i am giving enough ! if i stuff him with a lot he skips the next meal so before dinner during evening time i don't give anything so he's empty for dinner ! is this good ?? thanks ! my baby is a little behind in weight ! he is about 17 1/2 pounds at 9 mnths ! megha replied. i always seem to respond to ur posts..coz there is not much age difference in our babies, their routine is similar and also, we face the same prb/query sooner or later.

can't say much about the food intake, coz i am also struggling with the qty. but i just go and give whaetever he accepts. however, in the a'noon just before milk feed, i give him some light but nutritious finger food(readymade) and some cheese.started doing this only yday(after hetal's reply to my post).i was not so confident abt finger foods coz i dread choking.but he ate it very well all by himself.believe me,they njoy being independant.
so try it out. and u shud aim at 5 fruits and veges in a day.
so all the best
