More baby food anxiety!

kpearse99

So I used to stress about what I was going to make, how much, when he would eat, when to try new foods...you know, the usual FTM feeding things!

then I got comfortable with it all and went with the flow, things were good!

now that we are adding a lunch and he's getting older, I'm starting to stress again about not having enough food made, going to more finger food style meals over pur?ed and I'm having trouble figuring out how to prepare such foods ahead of time. Purees are easy because I can make a big batch and freeze it, and I'm not sure i can do that with finger foods.... I'm freaking out a bit,

please help calm my nerves by telling me I'm not alone and what you do or are planning on doing now that they are getting older!

We do BLW so dd has only had finger foods....so I give her what I am eating or some portion of it.  I love to have salad for lunch and so while I don't give her the lettuce, I will give her avocado slices or red bell pepper slices to chew on.  I

I am having this dilemma, too. I like the ease of making baby food in big batches to freeze, but I am having a hard time getting the idea of how to do this for finger food. I am thinking about steaming some carrot sticks, then laying them on a baking shee
