So DS is 10months on Wednesday and is a good eater. He is still mainly eating purees but has done well with foods that aren't purees. Anyways right now his 3 meals are usually made up of his 1tbsp oat with 2tbsp fruit, 1tbsp oat with 1tbsp of veg and 1tbsp of meat and then 1tbsp of yogurt. In total he gets about 7tbsp of solids at each meal. He also takes about 20oz of formula over 3 bottles in a day.
My issue is that I'm not sure if I am over feeding him because he tends to spit up a little while after he has eaten. He probably could eat more if I let him but I have topped it off at 7. In my opinion I think the way he crawls causes him to throw up because of the amount of pressure he places on his tummy. He basically scoots on one side and drags his other leg in front of him which puts pressure on his tummy and pushes his food up. Anyways I just thought I'd ask and see what others think.
Another question I had was to do with finger foods and how much to feed him. For instance I cut up half of his grilled cheese sandwich and he ate most of it and then didn't want anymore, which is fine. I then offered some of the puree and he ate all of it and then later ended up spitting up like 3-4 times. I'm just afraid he's not getting enough when he's eating regular solids because I can't measure it. I've become comfortable knowing that he gets 7tbsp at each meal and then he's good. Anyways any thoughts on that would be helpful too. I'm starting to panic a bit as he starts daycare in 2.5months and I need to get this eating sorted out.
Thanks for taking the time to offer some insight!
