my boys loved vegies and lamb, fruits my gosh everything. she can have what you have,
i think you should go with her...she is leading and she will let you know if she wants more....
Anything, we are following BLS & last night DS had butter chicken & rice with the rest of us. A couple of nights ago he had slow cooked lamshanks in gravy with vegie sticks.
I have found this solids transition a little scary. She's 6mths old and been on solids for about 3 1/2wks and I am very scared she is going to choke or have a reaction to something. I have everyone in my ear saying she should have this and that (like vegemite, steak, mince, biscuits even telling me to start her on rice cereals when she was only 4mths). I am trying to keep her diet as healthy as possible so she will grow to enjoy the healthier options. So far I have kept everything to a puree but my daughter has had potato, sweet potato, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, weetbix (with a small squirt of honey to sweeten it - bad mummy!), banana, apple, plain natural yoghurt, avocado, rice cereal and a few commercial jar foods (which she wasn't too keen on the vegetable/meat based ones (like sweetcorn & chicken) but loved the fruit ones (pear & banana)). Grandma has given her tomato and strawberry too. We are trying beans & pumpkin over the next few days. I have no idea if what I am doing is right but so far so good. She has 3 meals a day (and sometimes dessert, usually and smaller portion of what she had for lunch) about 3 or 4 bottles a day (usually 150mL but we offer 200mL just to be sure). We mix and match the above (I try and keep fruit for lunch and vegies for dinner) but I don't know where to go from here though.
We chose only one jar at a time...they go funny after a day in the fridge..and u don't want to. Waste it meaning Romone ate lamb for lunch and dinner until the jar was gone...only a few little spoonfuls at first....
The reason to only choose one food at a time too is to check for allergies and to see what they really like...DS liked lamb once......then never again... Whereas he loved potato, pumpkin, and the fruits....
I also realized pretty quickly that although the jars are handy.... They aren't necessary.... I bought the fruits in jars and started giving him a banana or orange.....and then made our own mash foods with our food for the week. I'd make it fresh and serve the lot that I made within the day.... So eventually he stated eating everything we eat...which makes you eat better lol and less cost too.....
Custards are for later after the basic flavours and foods. And rusk sticks are great and natural ( love the Aldi ones)
