Hi ladies,
I have a few questions for you -

when giving your LO toast, do you butter it? Yes, always have.

weetbix - yes or no? Yes and I am mega naughty and put a tiny bit of sugar on it for her. I have mine with sugar - weetbix is rank without sugar.

cereals - how important is it for them to have anyway? Don't really know the scientific answer to that so I'll just say that a healthy balanced diet is important for us all.

Is it OK to skip a solid "meal"? This happens to us all the time, sometimes DD is asleep and sometimes we are out. If we're out over a meal time and we're maybe going to be somewhere that we don't have access to the kind of food I'd give DD, I make a picnic lunch box with some cheese sticks, crackers, grapes, rockmelon etc so that I can still give her something to munch on. And that has been my saving grace many times - one such occasion when we got stuck in traffic for 2.5 hours. Be prepared is my new motto!

Do you all make wonderful healthy wholesome meals at every meal, or do you take some shortcuts too? Eg - prepared sauces for stirfries/pasta/etc. Do you use them? And if so, so you allow your babies to have them? I make my meals from scratch with fresh ingredients. I love cooking. But I also make heaps so have loads to freeze for our lunches too.

What can I do with all these purees? I sometimes buy the Rafferty's garden purees to put on yoghurt. Maybe put them on her yoghurt or cereal?
Hope that helps xxx
