Snack ideas (low salt) for 9 month old

10 replies

LittleGreenFrogMmMm · 20/03/2015 15:13

Can anyone give me any ideas for snacks for my nearly 9 month old, so watching the salt (so don't want to give toast/bread based snacks too often)?

Currently giving rice cakes, fruit purée and pieces, Greek yogurt... And that's about it! She's about to drop another feed so I need more selection. Looked in supermarket today and 'biscuit' type foods all have added sugar so don't really want to give her anything like that. Happy to home make or to buy.

Thanks

PS - Anyone know if homemade rice pudding would freeze? That's an idea I had but would obviously need to make a batch of it and freeze.

How about strips of pepper, pre-steamed carrot, cucumber, limited cheese cubes?

Some little omelette pieces might be good or other types of egg. Pieces of avocado is very healthy and soft.

I'd often give cooked carrots, cheese (not massively low salt but don't give so much with meals), baby cereal bars. Occasionally baby crisps.

But often stuck to the same as you, piece of fruit, loads of Greek yoghurt or cheese.

To be honest, I've only really started doing actual snacks now dd is 1 as she would have main meals and milk in between.

Savoury muffins? I think the baby led weaning book has a recipe for cheese and spinach (I realise there is a bit of salt in cheese?) there is an annabel karmel carrot and sultana cup cake recipe which is sugar free and tasty.
Hv said to me best snack is a cup of milk and half a banana.

DD1 loved the cheese and spinach muffin from the BLW cookbook. It's on the website too. I believe the recipe makes 12 mini muffins and I used to freeze them.

There is a cheesy veggie nugget there too.

Sweet potato wedges? They keep for a couple of days in fridge with an airtight container. I just cut in wedges, put on freezer bag, sprinkle cinnamon and oil, shake, tip out and bake.

Handful of peas?
I'm starting DS2 on food and I think I'm just going to do fruit for snacks. DS1 eats far too much bread based snacks so just going to do fruit all the way this time round.
