Red MEAT




this month we started to introduce red meat = protein. here we have beef chopped down in cubes with oregano and just boiled down until it's cooked then we puree and freeze it in ice tray. i have to say the smell of chicken or beef boiled down with no seasoning is pretty grooose... but Luca eats it all every morning!!!


this is Luca's feeding schedule as of 9M and our Dr. tells us that it's time to cut back on milk and more solids. the idea is to have him eating table food by 12M.


Here's a typical meal for the day:


630am - milk

830am - milk 7 oz

nap

1030am - solids (we give him beef with potatoes with a side of kale and carrots = 3/4 cup = 6 oz. of mashed food ~ yum ~)

1pm milk 7 oz

nap

330pm - solids (brown rice with beets and sweet potatoes (3/4 C) + finger food like cut up bananas)

500 - solids (millet with red bean and sweet potatoes (chinese dessert - 1/2 C = 4 oz.) + cut up peaches)

730 - milk (sweet dream... see you tomorrow at 630am!...)

as you can see he eats every 2 hours and every waking moment, non-stop which keeps me really busy in between changing his diapers.
