After a nf at 5 he should be hungry by 8... Maybe he's just not a bfast person right now! I'd say keep offering as things will probably change sooner or later. They know what they need though! ;)

My new highchair is arriving Friday which is good news because Audrey's Bumbo makes her poop, and then of course the meal is over. S

Ha ha ha ... o this has made my day! Poor Audrey! "MUM! I was enjoying this banquet... and then the poopy had to spoil it!" Classic.

Autumn ate Grandma's roast tattie, a carot baton and .......*drum roll please* a strip if roast chicken. I gave it to watch her "suck on..." we couldn't believe our eyes as she chunked it all down with excited eyes!

I often take steamed veg sticks or or mini veg like baby corn, mange tout, mini courgettes. Or tuna, mayo and sweetcorn sandwiches. Cream crackers and cheese and tomatoes.  Sometimes pancake or ricecakes. And fruit like berries he can pick up individually. It's normally lunch we're out for. Sausages aren't too messy but not too often as they are quite salty I think.

I was *yupping* to Ali's suggestions but today i cooked a kinda omelette fritatta type bodge by mixing one egg, bit of milk, small dollop of Philadelphia chz and some mashed potato (saved from yesterdays roasty!) and wacked it in a frying pan. Chopped up she (amazingly i know - with Mummys dodgy concoction!) loved it - and cooled right down too! This sorta thing could potentially work!

Bananas are our saving 'going out' food atm too :) oops. lazy.

Bananas are great, they come in their own packaging that you can throw away when you're done :)

You banana ladies are brave- very messy!! I did up a whole batch of little muffins of Lemon thymes blog- so something like this: http://mamacook.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/no-added-sugar-apple-and-sultana-mini.html but is you haven't seen the blog check it out- there are HEAPS of great recipes, lots of hidden vegies...

But i'd take 3 or 4 of those out (my guy is a big eater) and he'd have those.... i figured with no sugar and salt they are probably like having a sandwich or something... But they are good as they travel well and you can freeze them- so i'd get a couple out of the freezer and by the time he needed to eat them they'd be defrosted.

I've been a lazy mummy at the moment though- so none in the freezer- but if you are wanting to get into some cooking again they are esy and make a heap!

I find colby gets in such a mess with bananas though. They just get smeared everywhere and it is hard to deal with when out. Oh posted with Katy, you agree with me.
I forgot to say we also do cold rigatoni pasta. That's the big tubes btw ;) I've done omlette before too.

Hamish Loves fritata- Lil ginge- you could make them and put them into muffin tins- as in make it in muffin tinns then cook them- then they'd be baby size! Freeze them for later!

Ladies, what age did you find your babies actually started to take on significant quantities of food? Not that I'm in a hurry, just curious. Audrey still has BF poop but with just a few specs of whatever in it.

I still wouldn't say colby eats tons now at 8mo. Only in the last few weeks has he started getting more down.

hamish started actually getting it into his mouth at about 6 months 2 weeks.. then it was probably closer to 7 and a half months that he started being more consistent with amounts....

I think Sophia started to eat significant amounts at around 8 months. Now she eats loads. More than dd1 sometimes. Her poo remained bf poo for ages though; after 8 months. Only became solid after 9 months I think (I forget exact timings!)
