Hi all

I'm new to this thread but was hoping to join in to get some ideas for food for Fred during the day when DH is looking after her.

I've been letting Fred eat from my plate and from her high chair for a while now, well since about 4.5 months as she yelled at us until she was allowed to hold some food and wave it around. She happily eats almost anything but we have found she is a real carnivore. She had some of my roast lamb cut into a finger and attacked it muching away on it furiously. When I tried to take it away from her to clean her up she screamed so loudly we had to give it back to her We are also lucky as she happily plays and eats fruit, vegies, cheese and bread.

We went strawberry picking today and when I was reaching down for some more strawberries she must have grabbed a strawberry and stuck it in her mouth (she was in a sling) I only realised this when I saw the stalk sticking out of her mouth. I pulled it out but it looked like she had eaten most of it. Is strawberry ok for a 6.5 month old? I just remember something about them not being good for LO's under 12 months...

Thanks everyone
