Question for other parents: How much does your baby eat? I have tried finding a schedule or a recommended "menu" for babies to no avail. Sam eats a vegetable with oatmeal for lunch and then a vegetable with oatmeal and a fruit for dessert. Should she be eating more? Less? Do I drop the oatmeal? Introduce meat now? Should it be three meals a day? I checked the AAP for their recommendations and they are pretty vague. KC is wondering if we are overfeeding her. Now I'm freaking out about that. Does she get enough vitamins? Are we force feeding her too much? Encouraging childhood obesity? Why do I have such a hard time with what she eats???
Footnote: If you happened to read about the day where everything that could go wrong did go wrong you know that prunes are banned from our house. These pictures were taken the day before that day.

When Chase is full, he stops eating. He kind of pushes the spoon away or turns away from it when we try to feed him. Although now that he self feeds himself peas and carrots and chicken and cheerios, it's harder to tell when he's no longer hungry because he enjoys picking up the food on his own so much! Our pediatrician told us that since they're still breastfeeding and getting most of their calories from that, they don't actually need that much food (also, it's all fruit and vegetables, so if you think about it, that's not very filling).
