Georgi - Jett loves tomatoes! Funny cos neither DH or myself like them! But he will happily slurp away until it is all gone. I think it depends on your bub. Some babies do find the high acidity an issue and become quite unsettled or often get a rash around the mouth, but then others like Jett have no issues. So my opinion is give it a go and watch for any reactions! It is the same with citrus fruits.

The book I have has food ideas, such as the out and about food ideas I mentioned earlier, but not really recipes. It actually says that it doesn't deliberately, and from memory I think the reasons were that there are other books available with food ideas, and BLS is all about giving your bubs the same food that you are making for yourself. As long as you are eating good healthy food then it should be just perfect for bub. So have a look on the net, or through your own recipe books and find some ideas that sound yummy to you and go to town. Remember that bubs need to learn about a lot of different tastes and textures so you shouldn't need to modify too much for bubs.

Speaking of textures - Jett was given soup today at childcare. I was a bit concerned when they said it was soup fo lunch. I really didn't want him to be spoon-fed, but wasn't sure how else he was going to eat it. But luckily the carer had the great idea of putting lots of bread in there as that is what she did with soup when her kids were learning how to feed themselves. Apparently he had a ball getting his hands in there and squishing and squeezing... and he ate heaps of it too! So there is another idea for everyone - soup is not off the menu!!
