hi! DD is 11 mths. I return to work full time when she is 12mths (3 weeks away).
ATM her easy is
Wu then bf
Breakfast
Nap then bf
Lunch
Generally nap refusal for the afternoon...
Bf
Dinner
Bf (after bath) - usually small
Bt
Most nights 1 nf...
A little while ago I had thought about starting to wean the lunchtime bf, but waited to see if she'd do it herself naturally. For the most part she hasn't! So maybe now it's time to do it (i guess?!) as i won't be bfing her at lunchtime when i go back to work.
I have read the weaning sticky, but i am nervous.... She eats solids ok, i think. She's only just gotten top 2 teeth that aren't all the way through, and one next to them is poking through. Still teething....
Normally for breakfast she'd eat cereal (either baby cereal or normal weetbix) and maybe some fruit too (depending on appetite that day), or scrambelled egg (served with toast but she doesn't eat much toast or bread yet).
Lunch is fingerfood of a few things like cucumber, tomato, crackers with peanut butter or vegemite or hummus dip, cheese stics, fruit pieces. Just a random variety of whatever. I can't wait until she can eat sandwiches...
Dinner is a decent serve of mostly fingerfood vegetables eg carrot, zuchhini, broccoli, with plain pasta like macaroni sprinkled with cheese, and steamed pear slices. She loves that pasta right now. Sometimes i'll give her yoghurt too, and a try of my dinner or leftover if it's suitable.
So is she eating enough to drop the lunch bf? I always give water with meals and in between and she sometimes drinks a fair bit. She'll make up the bf needs at wu and after i get home/bt won't she? I am a bit nervous about it and how she'll go. Maybe she'll be better if i'm not around and she's distracted......
