Hi mommies,
My daughter is 9 months now and so we are approaching the change in her diet - you know when you breastfeed after the solids, not before. I am a bit nervous about it, afraid to lose my milk supply, but I guess I have to adjust to this somehow.
Since she is getting older, I think I need to figure out what I am still not clear about. For example, would you give meat to a baby this age twice or once a day?
How big would an average portion be, let's say for lunch? I am concerned about overfeeding her, because she is such a good eater, sometimes she eats a lot.
On the opposite, I also have this feeling inside that she needs to eat, even when she does not want to (happens rarely I have to say!). It's like an anxiety, because that's how I was brought up - that kids must eat!!! I know all the books say not to feed a baby when she does not want to, I find I have to really make an effort at this... Does anyone feel the same way?
