So my DS is finally eating
It is going well - he is currently eating chicken, turkey, asparagus, green beans and zucchini. I have added a few Nutrios for his breakfast since today. No digestive issue AT ALL
Lunch he will eat pieces of chicken and veg by himself + some puree (chicken / turkey with a veg, or sometimes just the veg). For dinner he will eat some pieces on his own, but refuses purees. Also seems unhappy he will make some grunting sounds. Don't think it's really discomfort though because he's fine as soon as I take him out of the high chair.
I'm wondering if the feeding routine we have right now is maybe not good, he does eat/drink a lot during that last A time. Here it goes:
NF 1:00 4 (I limit his intake for the NF to 4 oz)
E 7:00 formula 8.5 oz
E 7:30 a few nutrios
E 11:15 lunch
E 12:30 bottle 8.5 oz (sometimes a bit less if he's eaten a lot for lunch)
E 3-3:30 bottle (usually around 6 oz, sometimes more)
E 5:30 dinner
E 7:00 bottle 9 oz
He is teething right now but I don't think it's affecting his appetite at dinner since he's fine most of the day and pain meds don't make a difference. I will wean the NF, I'm just waiting for this bout of teething to be over before I do.
I was tempted to reduce / stop the 3PM bottle but not sure if it make sense to cut daytime feeds while he's taking a NF? At the same time, I feel like the issue is related to timing in the afternoon specifically. Not sure cutting the NF will really solve this problem?
