Baby is 10 months old. Mom is concerned that I am not feeding her enough. I let the kid eat until she shows signs that she is done & I do not rush the kid. Additionally, if kid shows signs that she is hungry I will feed her then in addition to the "regular" meal times. So far kid has only shown signs that she is hungry twice while here. Once was when she ate less than normal at a meal & the other was the first week she was here -I explained this to mom. Below I've got the kid's schedule that she's on here (not on one at home. Grazes all day basically) and would like your opinions on if I should add an extra feeding & where. TIA
6:30am: 8 oz bottle at home
7:20am: arrives here-plays
7:50am: take SA to school if she's here
8:30am: 1/4 C baby oatmeal cereal mixed w/2 oz formula, 2 oz jar fruit, offer 4 oz formula in sippy-usually drinks 2-3 oz of it. Also usually eats whatever fruit we are having cut into small peices & placed on her tray.
9:00am: 1 hr nap
11:30am: 8 oz bottle, 2 oz jar fruit, 2 oz jar veggie, 1/4 C rice cereal (usually mixed into the fruit as she's not a fan of it plain).
12:00pm: play
12:30pm: 1.5 hr nap
2:00pm: Gerber puffs & 4 oz formula in sippy (sometimes she drinks it all, sometimes she drinks an oz) afterwards she plays
2:50pm: walk to school to p/u SA (this is every day, am's are variable)
3:30pm: 2 oz jar veggies, 4 oz juice, gerber fruit bar, puffs if she's interested
4:00pm: play (usually outside if the weather is nice-generally a walk)
4:40pm: 30 minute nap (she is so crabby if she doesn't have one. Though I am trying to get a 2 hr afternoon nap out of her it just isn't happening-finally got to 1.5 hrs this week. When she started she would sleep 30 min at a time, 5 times a day & it felt like that's all she did some days and she was crabby all the time)
5:10pm: play
5:30pm: gets picked up
6:00pm: dinner at her house
8:00pm: 8 oz bottle & bed
I should also mention that mom hasn't done meat, eggs, or cheese/yogurt/dairy w/her yet so that's why I don't do it here.
Okay, lay it on me
