what are you ladies feeding your little ones, or rather, letting them feed themselves? what are things that you make that you can all eat together that are safe for a baby to also self-feed?
I am so sick of buying jarred baby food and would rather let Zachary feed himself at least one meal a day (like lunch) because I am working so hard that by midday when he wakes up from his nap, I focus on him and never eat lunch and it'd be great to take that time to make lunch for both of us and eat together. I only have a couple of ideas but I would love to hear more.
Today for lunch he had a slice of cheese torn up into smaller pieces that he could pick up eand eat, and "guacamole bread" which was about half of a small avocado mashed up and mixed with some spices and then smeared on a piece of toast which was then cut up into little pieces.
I have also given him a slice of toast with a little butter and cinnamon on it, cut up into little pieces.
I am also going to start doing squished blueberries and making a less spicy turkey meatloaf that is good for him to eat at dinner time (my hubby and I like ours spicy! lol)
Anyway, those are a few of my ideas.... what are yours?
Re: 8+ month finger foods
i waited until mady was about 9-10 months to actually give her more finger foods as meals vs. just giving her some finger food snacks.
but anyways my ideas for your meals are:
slices of tomatoe
quesdillas
grilled chicken with veges
picadillo (ground beef) with rice
grilled cheese
sweet potatoe fries (baked not fried)
mac n cheese with broccoli
chopped up fruits/bananas etc
crackers spread with peanut butter and topped with sliced bananas (although i gave this to mady AFTER she turned 1)
