My lo just wants boob for every meal :-/ we were so excited to start solids and we give him pieces of whatever we are having to eat but he just takes a taste of food, plays with it, and then tosses it! All of these meals everyone is talking about sounds so overwhelming but fun at the same time! I'm a little jealous. Hahaha.

We are doing BLW but we have tried some organic baby food. My lo isn't a fan of baby food so we're sticking with BLW. I have a hardcore booby baby.

We had to meet with a dietician when my girls were 8 months old because they were 2 months premature. She told us they should be eating equal parts rice or oatmeal, protein, and fruits/veggies. She was less concerned about quantity, and more about general balance and quality over a 24hr period.

We do:

Plain yogurt for breakfast

Protein (meat or egg yolks) and veggies for lunch

Oatmeal with fruit at night

They still drink 5 bottles a day, and they have not really decreased their drinking despite introducing solids.

I've been using avocado as a thickening base lately too :)

We do Greek strain nonfat plain yogurt with fruit in the mornings. (Not always in the mood for breakfast)

Then we don't usually do any meals until around 2. In between, he eats lots of puffs, gerber wafers, and grated cheese.

Then he eats 2-3 jars/pouches of food by the time he goes to bed. They are stage 2- macaroni/turkey/sweet potato

Ham/pineapple/rice

Etc

Sometimes I'll do veggie combos or veggie/fruit combos substituting the meal type foods.

He hasn't been very interested lately though.

I make all his food & we have started actual solids. So he gets 2 veggies & a meat at dinner. Last night he had asparagus stalks, cut up carrots & chicken. Tonight, long pieces of green beans, chicken, & broccoli. He loves feeding himself!

just started solids a week ago. we tried avocado n now we r doing sweet potato. she eats maybe 6 spoonfuls a day for dinner at 6. I bf at 7,10,1,4 and 7 plus 2 times throughout the nite.

It varies. If I'm having a bunch of steamed veggies for dinner I'll give him some of each to chew and eat. If I'm not eating something he's ready for I'll steam him one food or give him one that doesn't require any prepping. Yesterday he had carrots. This morning for breakfast he had yoke from a hard boiled egg, banana and some waffle.

We're BLW. Breakfast was banana, oatmeal muffin (homemade) and yogurt. Dinner is: steak, carrot, cauliflower.

Water with meals when he wants it.

He just eats what we eat without salt.

I find it too much of a hassle to prepare too much at once especially when hes screaming. Fruit and cereal in the morning, veggies and cereal for lunch and dinner. But I give him real fruit pieces and other things throughout the day.

My son is not interested in food at all! It's a fight to get a few spoonfuls into his mouth! I can't imagine trying to have that many different foods at each meal.

Is anyone else having trouble getting their lo interested in solids?

we do breakfast yogurt ( the yobaby yogurt and he loves it) or fruits and bottle, then he will get bottle, bottle +some kind of veggies and meat, bottle, and then big bottle amd oatmeal with fruits for dinner.

And yes, I breastfeed him 4-5 times a day and once or twice in the middle of the night.

I do formula bottles all night... A fruit for breakfast... Bottles during the day and a veggie mixed with meat around 5 pm... And a cereal bottle before bed

It doesn't really matter. But I've been doing combos for fun and variety. As he gets older, (8-9 months) I think your mom is right.

Typical meals around here are fruit and oatmeal, two fruits together, or two veggies together. I introduce one new food and serve it for a few days (the four day wait rule) while I serve foods he's had before.

Going to start meats and yogurt soon, so that will add more variety.
