How do I know if my baby is eating enough solid food?
As all pediatricians will tell you "Your baby will never starve himself or herself". The majority of healthy babies will eat just the right amount of foods that they need. Resist the urge to offer "just one more bite" when baby indicates she's finished. You do not want to accidentally override your baby's developing ability to self-regulate his or her feeding by continuing to try and feed your baby. It is important to pay close attention to your baby's cues as your baby's feeding patterns will change daily and may be affected by the goings-on around him.
My Baby Won't Sleep
My 10mth old has not and will not sleep through the whole night. He has 3 meals (2 with puddings) 2 snacks (1 in morning, 1 in afternoon) and a bottle to go to bed with but then he keeps waking up for another feed in the middle of the night and then occassionally another in early hrs of the morning. Tried to leave him be to see if he gets himself back to sleep, i've tried rocking him to sleep myself but he just wants that extra feed. Its not as if he doesn't have enough to eat in the day, i just don't understand, my eldest was well away with sleeping throughout the night at this age.
