ok BLW gang! another q from oops

[oops]

We eat fish but no meat chez oops.
Ds1 is pretty much veggie, and eats loads of lentils/beans etc.
Ds2 8.5months is so into blw that i can't sppon any pap into him at all (hurrah for BLW- but that's another stroy)
What can i give him re protien?
He likes cheese and I have done a tortilla which did the trick, but am a bit frightened to give kidney beans etc due to theier small size and sim size to a baby's trachea!
So, Dh suggested cream cheese on toast- but i don't know which to get- not convinced primula or whatever is v nice tbh,
hummous/ too salty??
eggy bread- goes down well.
I am running our fo ideas.
We cook very hard porridge now and he has a slice at breakfast and like that, but an struggling past the veggie stics and toast and pasta twirls tbh.
tia you lovely ladies

Ordinary philly type soft chse is fine. I'm not sure about the cheese spread type - I'd have to check the labels for hydrogenated yuck. Humous is dead easy to make - whizz up a drained tin of chickpeas, some yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, garlic. Yummy and it freezes. We give DS kidney beans - he's not hugely keen but will eat them. Lentils though are a different story - scarfs them up! We give DS soup most lunchtimes - we dip the bread in it and pass it to him. Messy but very popular.

oh thanks.
i seem to keep losing my way a bit with this!
ds2 tries so hard to eat but he can't hold things and then drops them, and it all gets very frustrating.
i can't get him to accept help though
so alot of mealtimes finish and i think he really hasn't eaten enough...and then he bf alot still

anyway, it is all a phase isn't it

I used to think the same. But DS is a bit faster at eating now, and certainly more efficient, and we've accepted that mealtimes now last 45 mins... Easier when you only have the one child I guess.

[oops]

we did solid porridge for breakfast, and for tea he had fishcake! did alot better today, he ate alot (i think)
