You often ask me about Teo’s nutrition, so I decided to explain everything in detail and finally make it clear what he actually eats during the day. The way I approach his meals is very similar to how I structure our own. I always look at the balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, because even at this age I want to make sure he receives all the necessary nutrients without overloading his system with anything unnecessary. For me it is not about strict rules, but about understanding what his growing body needs.

Right now his diet is built around simple, clean and nourishing ingredients. For protein, he gets chicken, lentils, white beans and green peas. These are easy for him to digest, and I like that they provide good plant–animal balance. His complex carbohydrates come from gluten-free oatmeal, buckwheat and quinoa. These grains keep him full for a long time and help maintain stable energy throughout the day.

Vegetables and greens are an essential part of his meals. He eats almost any vegetable I offer, but his absolute favorites are potatoes and spinach. Recently he developed an allergy, so we are temporarily limiting sugar, including fruit, until we figure out what exactly triggered the reaction. It is not easy, but I want to be careful and let his system calm down.

We also include healthy fats every day. He gets avocado, coconut butter and pumpkin seed oil. These add important nutrients and support his development. The only dairy he consumes is baby formula based on goat’s milk, which he drinks before bedtime and sometimes during the night. And yes, we still wake up during the night for formula. If anyone has advice on how to help him sleep through the night, I am open to hearing it.

I cook everything myself because it allows me to control the quality and variety of ingredients. To keep his diet interesting, I also order eight jars from Yumi every week. I genuinely like their ingredient combinations and the diversity they offer. It helps me add something new without compromising quality.

As for his daily schedule, it is quite consistent. After he wakes up, he has oatmeal or buckwheat porridge with coconut butter. His first lunch is at 12:30 p.m., the second one around 3 p.m., and then he gets a snack at 5 p.m. That is his whole eating routine for now, and it works well for him.

Please remember, I am only sharing my personal experience. Every child is different, and your baby’s needs may not be the same. It is always best to discuss nutrition with your pediatrician, especially if you have any concerns.
