    Yay for taking EBM!

    Finger foods... AR loves cruskits, broccoli, zucchini, pumpkin, banana, pears, mince, peas - the cutest thing ever is watching her chew one pea
    She looooves chicken, i will sometimes give her a chunk which she loves but she tends to rip & tear and I worry about big stringy bits. So I prefer to chop it up for her, and she just shovels handfuls in.
    We've tried carrot but she['s not overly keen on that.

    That's all I can think of atm, but there are good ideas in the BLS thread.

    Just a few ideas with the finger food because I've found that my DS has gone off the pieces of veggies, so I've started giving him things like bread with cream cheese or avocado, avocado sushi roll (he loves these, he devoured two thirds of one yesterday, I couldn't believe it!), pasta (tortelini is a hit cos he can suck out the inside), little steaks cut into strips etc.

    He was also not too keen on food (except cruskits LOL) but since giving him a few more grown up things he is doing much better and he will sometimes eat from a spoon if it is something he loves like yoghurt or mac and cheese, but even then I have to let him put the spoon in his mouth.
