I am still worried about bread - can you guys give me an idea about ho you give them bread. i.e. what size pieces, what type of bread etc. Bread that i eat seems to have a lot of sodium.
I'm still only doing fruit and veg.
Lenny I was always told that white bread just sogs up into a ball (and it does!) so anything that's wholemeal is better. I just give small squares (ie a slice that's quartered) but you could do fingers too.
I gave jake some carrot broccoli and beans last night which he loved. I also let him self feed his puree and he did a great job. This morning it was vegemite on toast and banana. Although judging by his behaviour I think he's missing his weetbix in his tum!
Lenny i give fingers of bread you know like 'soliders'
MJ has what ever bread we are having, but i usually make that myself, so has less salt that stuff that is bought - she has also had rasin toast if we eat it...
Becstar, i have found that all bread goes soggy and clumps up if it is sucked on for as long as MJ does!
rememeber Lenny, they dont actually get a whole lot in at this age, its more the experience - and toast is good for introducing new flavours - i just spread a little of what ever it is that we are having on the toast - even if its something weird that we wouldnt have on toast
I cut into soldiers or soldiers and then in half or sometimes just give him the whole piece of bread because he thinks that is heaps of fun.
I asked in the last thread; when do they actually start swallowing foods? I'm not worried from a "he's not eating" POV just interested to know. He swallows the occasional mashed foods and wahtever he licks of toast etc, but will bite of the whole head of a floret of brocolli, chew it up and spit it out. Same with nearly everything!
Has anyone else given bubs pineapple? Oh my, Alexander loves it. Although it was less than pleasant when i found an undigested piece in his poop! . Obviously this is one of the exceptions to the not swallowing
ETA: Does everyone else find a nice pile of leftovers sitting between bubs crutch when you take them out of the high chair
I have only noticed that MJ is taking more in, this last week -she sucks food alot and then spits it out again... i know that some is getting through cos of whats in her nappy! she loves brocolli and there is always bits in her poo!
You will probably find that he is eating more than you realise as sometimes they digest the food... aslo they probably suck the good stuff out of the food.
However she has days where she has heaps and days that she just plays... I dont think that its a problem just yet as milk should still be giving them everything.
HTH
SJ white bread sogs up 'more' than the wholemeal stuff, something to do with the composition, I guess it's because the white stuff is all refined
Cookie, I can't even remember when they start swallowing more, but you will notice slowly they are getting more and more in their mouth and less on the floor!!
Hi everyone!! SJ just let me know about this thread, let me just start out by saying BABY LED SOLIDS ROCKS!!!
I could not, would not, feed my DD any other way, she loves this & so do I. As I was just saying to SJ, my Punky had her first taste of Indian food last night and last week saw her first sushi roll - messy as all hell but she loved it. I figured since she loves avocado & tuna then she would probably like them both together with some rice lol.
Cookie, I too have already forgotten when the Punk really started to 'eat' but you'll definately notice when it starts.
Anybody else upset that Imperial mandarines are out of season now?! They were the Punk's favourite food, she'd eat a whole one in no time, we've had to resort to oranges though 'cause murcott mandarines are NASTY!!!
Thanks for your replies about the bread. Will probably try it tomorrow.
Guess what...mummy gave Little L an arrowroot bikkie. He loved it! There is squishy bikkie bits everywhere!
Crazy that apples were the most expensive thing i bought at Safeway today - and the bananas were $4.98 a kilo too. Something is WRONG with that. Thank goodness i can grow my own tomatoes and lettuces.
