What to feed when??

[Sheba]

Hi

I have been feeding my DD steamed vegetables and meat for lunch and tea since she has began eating solids. I am wondering when you introduced sandwiches for lunch. She has had some but ends up just sucking at the bread and only a small portion is actually eaten. When did you go from feeding them a meal to giving them sandwiches and so on, to eat themselves. I dont want her going hungry??? Any advice....

I think DD was about 11 or 12 months when I started giving her sandwiches. Before that she was feeding herself other things though - things like pasta, noodles, cut up vegetables etc. As long as your confident she has the chewing skills go for it whenever you think she's ready
