Haha, DS does the same thing. I feel kinda bad too, we try to eat dinner when its time for his solids so we can all eat together. Or we feed him first.

When DS started doing that, I started sharing my food with him. Not everything, but if I was eating a sandwhich he got a little bite of the bread, etc.Now he and I eat all of our meals together and he always gets a bite or two of whatever I'm eating.

Plain bagels are really good for these kinds of instances. I buy a few, toast them and then spread a little puree on it and she'll nosh on it while I'm eating.

Good idea! Totally going to buy some bagels next time I go grocery shopping!

Generally, if we're going to eat in front of DD we eat something she can have (or have her puffs to give her if it's not).   She loves potatoes and all kinds of veggies.  She kind of decided to do BLW on her own.  Ever since we gave her out food on Thanksgiving she wants nothing to do with her purees.  If she's interested in your food, why not share it with her?
