Wai baby

[RRM]

She eats slow cooked meat right? I think raw meat might be a bit dangerous for kids?

Yes, maybe.
She doesnt want raw meat. Only raw egg yolks, raw salmon, or slow cooked meat.

Maybe also because raw meat tends to be harder to chew?

[dime]

Yeah, probably with ground meat it will be different.
I also don't like eating meat unless it's ground or liver, because it's so tough and pretty much impossible to chew.

RRM,
I'm curious how long she sleeps for, and if its regulated by you and your wife or if she gets tired from all of the daily activity?

You are so lucky to have her, and 'wai level: from birth' is like having a baby times ten haha

I'm curious how long she sleeps for, and if its regulated by you and your wife or if she gets tired from all of the daily activity?

We never wake her up. She sleeps as much as she wants/needs to.
She always sleeps from 20.00 or 20.30 to about 06.00 or up to 07.30
For the rest of the day, it depends on whether she is tired, or not.
Often, she sleeps again between 09.00 and 10.00 or so,
and another hour or 2 somewhere in the afternoon. Normally about 12 hours a day.
She is 1.5 years old. For toddlers between 1 and 3 years old its normal to sleep 12 to 14 hours a day.

When she is playing outside, she can go on and on and on, without getting tired,
and without taking any energy. I guess its the adrenaline taking over.
When she is inside and calm, its much easier to detect when she is tired,
and then she never minds to go to sleep (she loves it then).

Have you noticed if she typically chews the raw fish or even the yolks thoroughly, does she swallow the yolk whole, or what? I'm very curious what her natural instincts are as a mostly raw food dieter without much of a concious control over these things yet (hopefully).

The yolks are in her juice.
When we let her chose between 2 juices, one with yolks and the other one without, she always picks the one with egg yolk.
She used to shovel the salmon on and in her mouth (and all over her face), dropping about 90%, picking it all up and repeating the process.
See pics.
Now she prefers to eat small pieces and to take her time.

There are growth charts for breast-fed babies to check their growth.
At birth, Trix' height was -2, corresponding to 1.57 meter in adulthood (just like mama, a -2).
As her weight rapidly increased, the same (with a delay) did her height.
At 1 month old, she was a -1.5 (corresponding to 1.64 meter as an adult).
At 9 months old, she was a 0 (corresponding to 1.71 meter as an adult)
At 18 months old, she was a +1.0 (corresponding to 1.77 meter as an adult); daddy is also a +1 (1.90 meter).

Im guessing its the very easy to digest food with high nutrient (incl. energy) contents and low anti-nutrient and toxins.
Im hoping her growth will not expand beyond the current curve much...

She is so cute! And it is great that she is being raised on such a healthy diet!

My son is 20 months old. We tried raising him Raw Paleo, but he loves fruit the most. Especially apple, grapes and banana, cucumber, avocado with tomato, so he eats more fruit than anything. He does eat raw meat or fish once in a while, but only seasoned lightly. We try not to push the meat since he still gets plenty of breastmilk.
He is also VERY active and alert, he stopped napping at one year old. Now it males me wonder if it is his fruit diet

Yet another innocent victim has fallen into the hands of this obscure cult...

Roel was born in January, 2013
A bit small and short, like his sister initially.
Got fresh raw egg yolk since he was 3 months old.
