DS had egg on toast, savory pancakes with hidden veggies and whole peas and corn today. He is prefering the finger food to the purees now I think. Dinner was pureed but he ate loads.
Anyway just marking my spot really.

Oops!!  I'm jumping in to follow along.  ;)  Did a little BLW with DS1, he loved purees too but we did well with lots of finger foods early on.  Still got a few more months before DS2 is ready, but looking for ideas so will tag along to hear what you ladies are doing.  :)

Hi Martina!  :)
DD did GREAT on vacation - ate corn on the cob and lots of peaches.
Tried meatballs today - mostly sucked on it so I'm not sure how much she actually "swallowed" but she kept going for more so that's a good sign! :)

Corn on the cob!  Wow, I wasn't brave enough to try that one with DS until a few months ago!!  I remember doing meatballs with him, that's a really good one - you can even put all sorts of things in them like veggies and quinoa!

Oops!

Martina what's Quinoa? S made BLW a dream, and is still loving her food! She has been eating corn on the cob since she got her top incisors!

She had cabbage yesterday for the first time at the child minders, apparently she loved it!!!

DS can chow down a whole peach in minutes!  He does sooo well :)  So, for those of you with olders LOs, when did they figure out spoons?  I feed DS his yogurt and cream of wheat and oatmeal, but I know he would rather do it himself.,  I let him try every time but it's a mess, of course.  Just wondering if you have any tips.

Quinoa is fabulous!  It's a whole food/ grain that you cook like rice.  It's pretty much no flavour so you can add whatever you want and make great cold salads and such with it!  I just had it for hte first time this year.

The other great thing about quinoa is it's a complete protein, so is a fabulous way to add protein to the diet if your LO is struggling with meats.

Whatbit, it took T over a year to figure out the spoon, and even now he can use it but still prefers his hands as it's faster!  :P  But that sort of thing is just practice really, and you can't force them.  You can only just give them the spoon and they will figure it out in their own time.  ;)  And the mess is inevitable!  :P

I figured :)  Thanks, Martina.  A bit hard to eat yogurt with your hands, but he tries!

Whatbit the only way he'll get any good with a spoon is with practice! That means mess! You can give him the spoon when there's not much left. Or thicken foods up so it's not so runny.

LOL! Lots of mess here  - DD is in such a hurry sometimes that we use 2 spoons - I give her the spoon with a bit on it and let her go. I really try to give the spoon to her right close to her mouth so she has less room to spill. :) but we usually have to wipe down the whole body (as she loves to swing her hands around her head) or just go straight to the bath. :)
Tried rice pudding today and loved it! :)

The mess never improves really, it just changes. DD eats yogurt with a spoon perfectly, even spooning it off her face when she's missed! Then she'll turn the pot upside down and bang it on the table to make pretty circles ::) Or the spoon/ dinner gets thrown/ dropped in protest. Although the best of all is tipping the plate up and watching everything slide off ::)

Jaci we still don't give really runny food, far too risky! We soak it up in something first! We also discovered the best bibs are small adult t-shirts, they come down to their feet covering everything! Obviously not waterproof, but a small bib on top of that can soak liquids up!

LOL- I have 2 bibs for DS- one with short sleeves made of towel material and then a long waterproof one with a pocket on the front to go over it!
