-Nursing, Bottle, Weaned(off breast or bottle?), or combo?
Still nursing about 4 times a day
-Table food, Purees, Mix?
a mix... he's fed by spoon in the morning for his oatmeal/yogurt breakfast, and he's given prunes, and applesauce mixed with a veggie puree every night by spoon. Everything else is table food.
-Percent of solid food vs liquid nutrition?
It's hard to say because I really don't know how much milk he's really getting from me. He nurses four times a day... first thing in the morning, morning nap, afternoon nap or just a snack if he won't nap, and bedtime. Maybe 75% solids and 25% milk? He doesn't get cow's milk or any dairy so the breastmilk is still essential for some nutrition at this point.
-Anything else to add?
Overall, his eating is SO much better than it used to be. Some days he eats like a horse, some days he barely eats, but I've learned to chill out about it. He'll eat when he's hungry. He's still not great about holding his own sippy cup but I think he's just lazy. He's showing no interest in wanting to feed himself by spoon. Again, lazy butt.

Table food
-Percent of solid food vs liquid nutrition?
Breast milk probably 80-90% the rest table food
-Anything else to add?
Would love to add more food to her diet, but she just doesnt seem to care for food that much, it seems to be more toy than nutrition for her.
-Nursing, Bottle, Weaned(off breast or bottle?), or combo? He is still getting BM, but he has pretty much weaned himself off the boob, he refuses to nurse, so I continue to give him pumped milk. I am waiting for the results of his allergy test before I completely wean him.
-Table food, Purees, Mix? Pretty much all table food. He likes the pursed fruits that come I. Packages he can feed himself, otherwise he likes foods he can eat himself.
-Percent of solid food vs liquid nutrition? I would say it's probably 75% food & 25% BM.
-Anything else to add? Not really. JP is a really good eater & will pretty much eat anything.
-Nursing, Bottle, Weaned(off breast or bottle?), or combo? Nursing....she still nurses about 5 or 6 times in a 24 hour period. I had to cut back from her nursing 12 or more times in a 24 hour period so I could get my fertility back. Now that it is I am going to stick with what is working right now.
-Table food, Purees, Mix? Table food only...She has never been feed with a spoon. She can use a spoon to feed herself though.
-Percent of solid food vs liquid nutrition? I would say 50/50.
-Anything else to add? JoJo isn't ready to wean and neither am I so we are going to stick with what is working right now. I am hoping the supplements help me correct my fertiity issues so I don't have to wean completely in order to get preggo....not sure I am willing to do that.
breastfed still, around 4-5 times in 24 hours
she doesn't like to be fed meals off a spoon but will take bites.
Feeds herself all foods.
I don't know percentage somedays it varies but I will go with 60%food
-Nursing, Bottle, Weaned(off breast or bottle?), or combo?
Bottle. Right now he is half and half whole milk and BM...trying to gradually make the switch over to milk.
-Table food, Purees, Mix?
the only thing he eats off a spoon is yogurt..he can do it himself...but...he doesnt mind me doing it, so I will feed it to him if we are in a hurry, or mess is a factor. Otherwise its all table food.
-Percent of solid food vs liquid nutrition?
Id say 75/25. He eats A LOT

-Nursing, Bottle, Weaned(off breast or bottle?), or combo? Down to 3 bottles a day just before naps and bed. Will be weaning off the bottles soon, after the shock of binky weaning wears off.
-Table food, Purees, Mix? Just table food. Are you kidding, purees went out when he was 7 months old!
-Percent of solid food vs liquid nutrition? 75% solid, 25% liquid.
-Anything else to add? Joel Pete really likes his bottles...he would be very happy to stay on a liquid diet. But he loves milk too, so I'm hoping it will be an easy transition.

Yes, I know I need a new picture .
-Nursing, Bottle, Weaned(off breast or bottle?), or combo? Still has a bottle 3 times a day, a nap times and bed time. Almost off formula, we're doing about 4 oz whole milk with 4 oz formula now. Will be done with infant formula by the end of the week. I do have some En Fa Grow toddler formula which I will probably mix with whole milk for bottles when we run out of infant formula.
-Table food, Purees, Mix? table food. She won't eat anything that is fed to her by spoon, she has to be able to put it in her mouth by herself.
-Percent of solid food vs liquid nutrition? 3 solids meals a day plus a snack or two, and 24 oz of milk/formula mix. so, IDK, maybe 65/35 table food/liquid?
-Anything else to add?

-Nursing, Bottle, Weaned(off breast or bottle?), or combo? Bottle with whole milk or water (he's not into sippies so much). He has milk 3 times per day - morning, before nap, and before bed - for a total of about 24 ounces of milk, the rest of the time we offer water. He would drink milk all day if we let him, but it upsets his tummy to have that much and then he won't eat other foods.
-Table food, Purees, Mix? Table food. Sometimes we feed him, though. He loves to play at using his fork but has very mixed results. We don't usually give him foods that require a spoon, although he insists on sharing if we are eating a food with a spoon. In fact, he basically won't let anyone eat without sharing what they're having.
-Percent of solid food vs liquid nutrition? I have no idea, it varies widely day to day how much solid food he eats but the liquid stays pretty constant.
-Anything else to add? I need some veggie inspiration - he doesn't seem to like them much!
-Nursing, Bottle, Weaned(off breast or bottle?), or combo? Still nursing 3-5 times a day. She gets a sippy of whole milk at daycare or when she is home with daddy and she will take water from a sippy.
-Table food, Purees, Mix? Table food. Never did purees.
-Percent of solid food vs liquid nutrition? I'd say 60% solid food to 40% liquid at this point. It really varies from day to day though.
-Anything else to add? This girl loves to eat! She can eat more than her 3 year old brother at almost any meal. We also just got through a little bit of a nursing strike after getting back from vacation, but she is nursing back to normal again now.
-Nursing, Bottle, Weaned(off breast or bottle?), or combo? Lilyana nurses about 4 times a day still.
-Table food, Purees, Mix? Mix. She does eat table foods, but she still has purees too.
-Percent of solid food vs liquid nutrition? Gosh, I don't even know. Some days I think she takes in a lot from nursing and other days she barely drinks any. She does get 2oz of cows milk a day, but I don't think that gives her much nutrition from such a small amount. I would probably guess it is about 50/50 all things considered.
-Anything else to add? Lilyana is getting much better about eating, but also much pickier!
Nursing, Bottle, Weaned(off breast or bottle?), or combo? He takes a bottle before any bedtime and the middle of the night if he wakes
-Table food, Purees, Mix? table food only. If he thinks something is baby food, he refuses it (I have to force him to taste applesauce before he will eat it)
-Percent of solid food vs liquid nutrition? 70% solid, 30% liquid
-Anything else to add?

Amy just wanted to add that our pediatrician said that they learn to master the sippy around 18 months on avg. Benji loves his sippy, but it is because he sees that Aidan has one. Aidan didn't really use a sippy until later on and she was extremely particular on which she would drink from.

Thanks cavewoman!
The twins are still nursing. I was weaning them but it is proving to be very hard at nap time when there isn't another person here to help me so I can work on one at a time to go down for a nap without nursing and without setting each other off by fussing and crying. So this week I gave in and they went back to nursing 3 times a day.
As for solids they eat table food. Both twins are mastering eating with a spoon themselves. Emma is more efficient than Evan.
-Nursing, Bottle, Weaned(off breast or bottle?), or combo? Nursing
-Table food, Purees, Mix? Owen is just getting really skilled at eating. I give him both or it would take FOREVER to fill the guy up! He is like a tank lately with what he eats!
-Percent of solid food vs liquid nutrition? I'd still say 60/40 with breastmilk still being is prime source of nutrition. I think we are on the cusp of that changing though!
-Anything else to add? For a little guy that got a late start with this eating business he sure has taken to it fast! He now scrambles like a mad man when I break out the food! Yesterday he actually grabbed my cheeseburger off of my plate and started taking bites! I no longer go crazy watching him like a hawk for the gagging/throwing up...he is doing soooooo much better with all of that!
-Nursing, Bottle, Weaned(off breast or bottle?), or combo?
Bottle- usually offer 5 bottles of 4oz a day but he doesn't always finish them.
-Table food, Purees, Mix?
Mostly table foods. We feed him things that need a spoon like yogurt.
-Percent of solid food vs liquid nutrition?
50/50 maybe?
-Anything else to add?
Some days he is super picky and won't eat much table food. If he doesn't like it, he just throws it off his tray! Veggies are a huge problem for us. He would live off of cheese and fruit if I let him.
