Hi, My little boy is 29 weeks old and we have started to wean him recently about four weeks ago. He is still on fruit and veg, the (Ellas Kitchen Pouchs food),but I dont know how often we need to feed him and how much of the 125g pouch. I am a newbie to this weaning lark. I dont want to underfeed him. He is BIG BOY.

I never weight or measured food when I was weaning. I made up my own purees, froze them in ice cube trays and gave my DS whatever he was interested in eating. At the start it was just one or at most two ice cubes but that increased over time. We started off with one meal a day, then after a week or two introduced a second and then a third after another week or two.

give as much food as he will take at each sitting. so long as he's still taking his milk feeds, you can give as much as your like. they are growing fast. if he stops wanting the milk feeds, then maybe reduce the solids, you'll soon get the hang of it. The AK meal planner shows when to feed milk & solids, it was my bible. good luck
