The Dr. said to feed him more solids, and I have been trying to. I recently started him eating solids 2x's per day again. He used to be a great eater, eating a jar of food at a meal, but now he rarely eats 1/2 of it. He loves cheerios and crackers, so I am trying to give him those 2x's a day. I tried bananas (cut up ofcourse) this morning and he WAS NOT HAVING IT! He didn't even want to eat his regular food. He normally loves pears and sweet potato or carrots and apples, but not this morning. I think it might have been because of his runny nose??
Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions on how to get him to eat better, I would like to hear/read the comments.
Logan also got another shot yesterday and got his finger stuck for the anemia test. He did really well, but hated sitting still while they were getting enough drops for the test. He let out a good little cry for about 5 seconds when they gave him a shot, but he was fine right after. I prayed all the way home that he would sleep ok at night. Chris would be working all night and Logan had been waking up 8-10 times at night. THANK YOU JESUS! Logan slept really well. He woke at 2:30 and 4:30 and finally at 6:45. The only reason he woke up at 6:45 was because the electricity went out and it turned his white noise machine off. Normally he is up by 6, but I rather enjoyed some "ME" time this morning. I used the time to cut some fabric for a few reversible pillowcase dresses and then to pin some ribbon on some cloth diapers.
It was a GREAT MORNING and the day has been GREAT AS WELL!!!!!
AMEN - PRAISE GOD! I AM BLESSED BEYOND BELIEF!!!
I LOVE THIS BABY BOY and just HAD to put this picture on this post!!!!
HE is just so cute! I love seeing pics of him.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have any suggestions about how to get him to eat solids. It is my opinion that he may just now want them. I did not get Bailey to even eat solids until she was 8 months old. She just wasn't interested. She probably didn't eat more food until she was closer to a year old. I think as long as he is happy and doing the things he is suppose to then I wouldn't worry to much what the scale says. :) He may be holding out until he gets more teeth and can have some steak! HA!
Have you tried yogurt with him? We used Stonyfield "Oh Baby" yogurt when they were little because it has extra "good" fat in it.
ReplyDeleteDifferent pediatricians will say different things. Ours was of the mindset that a primarily formula diet until 12 months was a-ok. I would think that the dry cereal has less calories than the baby food but perhaps he is enjoying those because they are different right now, so I would probably back off on them and try to get more jarred food in him.
My middle daughter weighed only 15 pounds at 9 months of age and neither of my oldest girls weighed over 20 pounds at 12 months. Like Janet, I think if he's moving around, is healthy, and such, I wouldn't stress too much over the scale! (I'm Janet's sister, by the way).
