I just found large cubes of tofu to go over well.  I think she likes that she can hold it and get bites off.  I also just tried some large chunks of watermelon and she loved it.

Awesome!  I have also heard of people doing bite sized cubes of tofu coated in crushed Cheerios so that LO can easily grip them :)

As long as you get the firm tofu and the chunks are about 3/4 of an inch then LOs should be able to grab them.  I got some beets to try as well.  It will be  terrible mess but maybe she will like them.  They will cook down soft enough that she can eat it without me worrying I think.  I'm not even sure if I like beets.  Maybe we'll share  :)

Well we have dark laminate floors so I think we'd be good there.  We do have a light coloured couch though so will have to ensure that she is nowhere near :)

I've always been a bit cautious about tofu and soya with my son because of the phyto-oestrogens in it.  I don't know if the risks have been overstated (after all plenty of Chinese and Japanese have had high soy diets for years but then they have very different diets and lifestyles over all.)  There is the other factor that I can't stand the stuff too of course...

Well here DD is on soy formula as she had MSPI but is now able to tolerate the soy.  So, since she has that formula I'm just going for it with the tofu.  :)

Oh I don't think it's an issue for girls anyway.  I'm sure I'm just being OTT!

It's just an issue for boys :)  That said, I haven't given DD tofu for the same reason you stated Lemonthyme...

I also would not use a soy based formula as they are not recommended here for anything that is tolerance related... doctors suggest hypoallergenic formula now like Nutramigen...

Yes she was on the Nutramigen and also Neocate.  The problem is here isn't covered by anything and is more than 4 times the cost of regular formula.  I just couldn't pay for it anymore while being off work :(  Hopefully she will only be on it for another month or so.  Then I've got to figure out what to replace it with if she can't tolerate cow's milk.  I'm working on dairy trials now and they are going well so I've got my fingers crossed.  :)

Oh wow... where do you live?

In Canada, Nutramigen is only about 10-15% more in price over other name brand formulas...
