Erm... dont know your adult and mine different or not.. LOL. :p But am using the medium bowl for this range. Munchkin: Stay-Put Suction Bowls It is around 2 bowls for combi . :)

I wanted him to drink more milk so still on 1 meal until 1yr old, then I'll introduce 2 meals. :)

I bought the suction plate but after a few tugs by alicia it loses the suction...

Iggy can eat a lot at one go... alicia can only eat half a chinese bowl of plain porridge and 3T of ingredients max at 1 sitting.

i cook 1 tablespoon (15ml) of uncooked grains for 1 meal (after cooking, it becomes 4 tablespoons (60ml) of porridge!!). I cook a fresh batch each time coz i dun think it's good for her to eat cold/warmed up porridge...

she normally eats only half the portion (2T of plain porridge) at 1 sitting. She'd have eaten 1T of cod and 1-2T of veg and meat at the same sitting. Usually can hear a burp after that so i dun force her to eat anymore. About 1hr later i feed her the rest of the food which she didn't finish (which i keep in the tiger container).

Yup, was discussing with dh whether to increase the portion or not... haha... think i'll increase it by a bit and see how.

My rice cooker actually got a function to cook a small quantity of rice (less than 1 cup) but i think it's only for cooking rice not porridge...

mine can cook porridge but then the measurement starts from 0.5cups..so i was wondering if i simply put in 1-2 tablespoon, dont know can cook or not? lol.

oh.. so somehow she is having 4 meals instead of 2? since 1 hr later you make her finish the rest of the food from the previous session? i usually throw cos i worry bout bacteria..

my girl's appetite also same as alicia.. fluctuates as much as the stock market lol. sometimes when she feels like eating, she can finish 3 table spoon cooked porridge + 1 cube of veg and 1 cube of fruits.. but at times when she no mood to eat, she eats just 5-6mouthful then stop ..i also xiao xiao one. sometimes she eat alot then i worry she cant digest well cos it looks like a lot to me lol. then sometimes she eat so little i worry she not taking in enough solid. everything also worry lol. i think if alicia steadily eats at least 1 tablespoon or carbo then you can try increasing? my girl will close her mouth shut when she is full.. if i try to make her eat more she will simply gag on every mouthful that goes in and then after a while will start to cry. she will burp also when full. lol.

recently i went to attend a baby solid class here and they say the porridge that a 7-8mths old should take is about 50-60ml per serving...which is the amt alicia is taking now.

I put the food in the tiger container so i think it's fine. It's the same as bringing out the food in the lunchbox, just that i dun go out :001_302: The "remaining" food doesn't have any contact with her saliva; i usually will reserve a portion to keep coz she eats like a bird...

i dun worry that she's eating too much... always worrying whether she's eating enuff... :tlaugh::tlaugh: Anyway there's no way i can make alicia eat when she doesn't want anymore coz she'll keep her mouth closed, tight-lipped, turn away when she sees the food approaching. Good also actually if they know they're full. My niece will just eat till she pukes then my sil will know that she's full... not very healthy i think...

:tlaugh::tlaugh:not surprising...

So how many servings of 50-60ml of porridge shld a 7-8mth bb eat in a day? 60ml of porridge is just plain porridge or porridge plus ingredients?
Any idea how much a 1-yr old shld eat?

Breakfast already gave carbo, there is enough carbo for the whole day already. We Asians tend to take more carbo than recommended :)

I did not follow strictly by the grams/ml, but I go by estimation. But my estimation is very accurate cos my job is food-related, i'm always around food :)

May i know the g/ml of food you mentioned is the cooked portion or the uncooked portion? Coz so far i measured, 15ml of rice grains expands to about 60ml of porridge and 15ml of uncooked chicken meat expands to about 30ml when cooked...
