ONE YEAR OLD : WHAT DO YOU FEED ?

[hakunamatata]

Mommies is it ok kaya na lagyan at haluan ng oatmeal ang feeding bottle ni LO. kasi ang MIL ko ganun ang ginagawa hindi ko makuha ang logic kasi diba ang infant milk may nutrients na plus si LO is kumakain naman ng solids so why put oatmeal pa?


Inputs and insights please

My lo is turning 18 mos tomorrow. She's also been eating kung ano food namin since she turn 1 yo. Di naman siya picky eater and eats 3x a day din with 1-2 snacks of fruits/biscuits/bread. My question is, how much yung normal na amount ng food ng baby at this age. For lunch and dinner, she eats about 1/4 cup rice, few slices of meat and veggies. Parati kase siyang sinasabihan na maliit/payat at her age ng pedia niya, although di pa naman super naalarm. She weighs 9kgs, never naman siya naglose ng weight pero mabagal lang talaga ang pag-gain niya. I'm mix feeding na, pero mahina talaga siya mag-milk. I still bf sa umaga, then sa hapon, she drinks about 6-8 oz of milk only. I'm not that worried kase she's healthy naman and di sakitin, pero napapaisip lang ako minsan if I should be worried na about her weight. Sorry kung medyo OT na, pero am I giving enough food or normal pa rin ba yung ganito? TIA sa sasagot.

^ hi sis... i think depende din sa build ng toddler kung malaki siyang bata o hindi... minomonitor mo ba ang height, weight growth chart nya? for our case kasi my lo is 22 months naman and she weighs 15kg. medyo malaki at matangkad talaga siya (genes, nasa lahi).
super magana siyang kumain at magmilk. She eats 3 meals a day (kung ano din food namin), with morning and afternoon snacks (bread, fruits) and sa loob ng isang araw, she drinks 4 glasses of milk (total of about 18-20 oz total). Magana talaga siya kumain lalo na if may sabaw yung ulam namin.
Sa breakfast, oatmeal/rice/cereal (about halfcup). Pag naman lunch, 1/2 cup rice + ulam and dinner, 1/4 cup rice + kung ano rin ulam namin. Madalas din siya may fruits during lunch and dinner.
Natry mo na ba bigyan ng choco-flavored milk baby mo (like Lactum?), baka magustuhan niya yun. Also, as per our pedia, ang recommended niyang pagtake ng milk is 4-5 times a day at 5-6 oz per bottle.

^ Thanks for the inputs sis. Minomonitor ko rin yung weight niya, she gains about 300-500gm per month. Never talaga siya naglose ng weight pero talagang mabagal lang. I was never bothered before kase pure ebf ako until 14 months siya. I've read din kase na there are pure ebf babies na talagang di naman tabain. With genes, di rin kami katangkaran mag-asawa, so I thought that adds up. Tingin ko kase magana siya kumain but then I'm not sure how much ba talaga ang magana, like ilan cups na ba dapat ang nakakain niya. Is it really ok to give chocolates/choco flavored drinks at this age? Di ko pa siya binigyan kase ng any sweets or chocolate kahit yung mga cookies or tinapay na may chocolate flavor.

[gwyne21]

^yung lo namin still drink normal milk (hindi choco-flavored). pero napatikim na namin siya ng chuckie, yakult, dutchmill. we give her chocolates, small quantity lang, kapag kumakain din kami. Also with chocolate cake or cookies, though very seldom. Ang thinking ko kasi simula nung 18 months siya, kung ano yung kinakain namin, pwede na rin sa kanya... pero siyempre small quantity lang kapag sweets, shellfish... ask mo rin pedia mo about it.

^thanks sis.. I'll stick with the normal milk na lang din muna siguro and check with my pedia.

Hi mga sis, my baby is 16months old and so far she still has 6 teeth pa lang. I cook her lugaw everyday for her lunch and dinner then mix it with soup na may veggies and meat.

I'm still doubtful to feed her pure na rice (as in no sabaw). You think okay lang kaya, considering 6 pa lang teeth ni baby?

Thanks

Y is 14 months old and she eats whatever we eat. I am thankful that she's not a picky eater at all!
She eats everything, as in. Fruits, vegetables including ampalaya and her favorite are pumpkin and potato, chicken, beef and fish as we don't have pork available here. We did not feed her cerelac or gerbec as I've read from somewhere that those are junk foods and are not ideal to be served to babies/toddlers. I was only able to breastfeed for 2months as I had to leave for overseas kaya I want her to be as healthy as possible!

hello mga sissies, i have twins, and they are already 1 year old, our pedia advised us na kung ano pagkain sa bahay, yon din food nila, to prevent them to become picky eaters, kaya kahit ampalaya, saluyot, kahit anong vegetables, gusto nila. even seafoods, pero alalay lang kami sa seafoods baka maya magkaroon ng allergic reaction.

If your LO can chew na she can have rice.  My LO just eats anything so kahit ano binibigay ko except nuts, and crustaceans of course. Not even eggplant kasi allergen din pala yan.

At 6 months pinakain muna namin siya ng mashed potato with her milk dahil yun ang advised ng neuro pedia. Hindi rin kami sumunod sa mismong pedia na cerelac ang pakainin kundi mga boiled vegetables na mash together with carrots, ampalaya and other more. Then breakfast niya puro boiled vegetables kasama garlic at onion. Gusto niya ang nilagang kamatis lang then she is eating nilagang ampalaya. Kaso nag-iba taste bud kasi parents ko napapagbigyan siyang pakainin ng chocolate. Iniba ko na breakfast niya parating fruits which is the pedia allowed us to do it. Pero pag lunch and dinner kung ano kinakain namin. But still pinapaiwas ko pa rin sa oily foods.

I have a 20 mo old and I would usually cook separate viand for him, anything with sabaw, usually fish with veggies, any veggies that he is allowed of. My reason is limit ang salt intake niya, while we still can and avoid msg/preservatives. We usually put "cubes" in our ulam. Also, he has g6pd+ so medyo madaming bawal.

i used to be very specific about everything my daughter eats. like instead of Marie for snacks, i'd buy her puffs or mummum from healthy options kahit mas mahal. i'd cook a separate ulam for her without any seasoning and mostly gulay. but when she turned 1 last month, my husband told me i should let go of my obsession with her food. lol 

so now i feed her almost everything. she eats whatever we eat. mostly kanin at ulam. but we dont cook with msg or broth cubes. i also try not give her processed food and fast food. she's also trying to eat na on her own using fork and spoon, which is so adorable! i can't tell if she's eating enough pero she gives us a sign naman if ayaw na niya. she still drinks formula even though our pedia said we could just give her fresh milk na lang. im just not comfortable with it yet.

For one year old, okay na to give them table food as long as walang MSG, hindi sobrang alat or oily. We try not to give her processed or fast food. I still prefer to give my daughter veggies hanggang ngayon na 3 y/o na siya. Sulit naman, kasi hindi siya picky and she eats anything and everything we give her.
