Hi Guys,

Not doing to bad, breakfast is completly jar free although needs to be bit more varied...consists of scrambled egg & cheerios most mornings with a bit of toast here and their on the side.

Lunch is the main one I keep filling with jars now...he's started having tea with us a lot more had spag bol last night which got into a right mess Cottage pie tonight as well so he can have that one with us.

Getting their slowly.

lunch is potato shapes or pasta with sauce/fish fingers/burger type things in here or sandwich fingers and salad.. tomatoes and cucumber and carrot and celery. Sometimes they have pancakes or waffles. they always have fruit or yoghurt or cake for dessert. scrambled egg with bacon and peppers and chicken is another fave but I make daddy cook that.

What about freezing a portion of your tea when it's suitable (like tonight's cottage pie) so that he can have it another day. Or do extra mash and mix it up with a bit of cheese or something for flavour.

Thanks should get used to doing that ~ never really been a habit so must make it one :-)

He's having mixed veg with a waffle for lunch today. I added a small portion of Veg to my two year olds meal and he's sitting their dropping it on the floor as I type

Really don't know what to do with him lol

Toasts and eggs are definitely the best protein choice for babies and elders too
And its not at all expensive

I've worked in nurseries and fed 9 months old their lunches along side the older children (12-18mths). The 9 month olds get exactly the same food as the toddlers, just blended to a consistency they can handle, as they get older the more lumpy it is. They have even has salad blended!
They get all sorts for lunch, such as chicken, meatballs, pasta, potato, veg, beans etc... They might have a few finger foods with their food, such as bread, or some bits of pasta.
It sounds gross, and looks gross having it blended but the flavours will be the same!
