feed me more!
good morning from atlanta! i’m briefly posting this from my parent’s house, as my mom and i are attempting to introduce more foods and “beef up” the magoo… jackson is getting his 1st year molars right now, and is not interested in eating much of anything. feeding him has been a struggle, which then leads to middle-of-the-night bottle feeds because he’s up and hungry.
(ugh! it SUCKS being up in the night to feed a friggin 1 year old… who does that?!)
anyway, 2 weeks ago i posted about this topic and got some terrific responses via comments and email. thank you so much for the input you shared, and thank you also to those of you who said “shit, i don’t know what to do either…”
so here’s a blog post i found that i’m going to check out and use as a guide with jackson, and i would encourage you to do the same (unless of course you have a child who eats… in which case, pay no attention to me).
thank you to the mom who writes this blog and posted this “sample one day menu for a one year old.” this helps me in more ways than you can imagine!
in other news, jackson and i head back to annapolis on wednesday and i’ll resume regular blogging at that time. awesome things have been happening for My Bottle’s Up! including a new design which will be relaunched (hopefully) in the very near future… stay tuned!










Nic! Happy mother’s day yesterday. Hope you are having fun in Atlanta. Tell Bri congrats from us. We can’t wait to see you guys in June. It’s coming so fast.
I wanted to send you a couple of staples in Luke’s diet:
string cheese (torn into pieces)
bananas (he eats a whole banana at breakfast)
grapes cut into fourths and strawberries ( I wait till he’s done eating everything else because this is like dessert for him)
english muffin with cheddar cheese on top (at breakfast)
mac-n-cheese (of course)
turkey
scrambled eggs
natural hot dogs (seems like an oxymoron to me but they make them)
Anyways, see ya soon!
I found this page while looking into feeding: http://www.pampers.com/en_US/parenting-articles/toddler-menus-for-three-days/1680
I’m no where near this stage for my little one, so I don’t know how good it is. The comments seem to think the portions are way too big, but it does say not to worry each day – that nutrition for a wee one is cumulative. I’ll have to check into more in a few months.
and Happy Mama’s Day too! Time flies… doesn’t it!?
I’ve got nuthin’ in the way of sample menus for wee ones. But I can suggest next time you have to wake up in the middle of the night to feed Jackson, you can amuse yourself by singing that “Little Shop of Horror” song (Feeed me … does it have to be human? Feeeeed me …. does it have to be mine? Feeeed me Seymour (or mama) … ’cause if you feed me Seymour/mama, I can grow up big and strong!).
Happy (belated) Mother’s Day!! I’m looking forward to this new redesign and I’m so so so glad that some of the advice you’ve received has been helping out =)
Happy Belated Mother’s Day, my Jackson has his molars coming in as well and about 3 more teeth, he has been so cranky.
