How do you carry food and feed baby - 8 months

[MightyMonkeys]

I really struggle with understanding how to carry the food (he won't eat packet food) and how to heat. Everywhere I go they won't heat it for health and safety!!!

HELP please. What are your tips?

I would just take some mushed sweet potato etc in a little plastic pot and sit it in hot water if in a coffee shop or ask them to put in microwave for 30 secs. If I'm going out I just take easy food, nothing too messy.

What sort of things does your baby eat?

I buy something in a cafe.. like a baked potato, he eats his bit I eat the rest. He’s also good with finger food so toast and sausages is another safe bet.. can’t say his meals out are the healthiest but I take carrot/apple/cucumber sticks with us too since there’s not much he’d manage from a pre cut side salad thing. If I’m starving dp gets seconds from a kids meal .

If he’s still on mashed foods you can mash most baked pots n pasta dishes with a fork?

Could baby not have cold finger food? At that age DD loved cucumber sticks or small pieces of strawberries or grated cheese.

You can big refillable plastic pouches which you can fill with your own purée then stand up in hot water to reheat. You can heat it up to a high temp then put in a food flask. You can bring finger food. You can buy a bowl
Of soup in a cafe

Chopped up pot of fruit or a soft cheese sandwich.

Or a bit off our plates.

But we didn't ever do purees and DS was NOT a fan of any of the homemade BLW specific stuff (to be fair it was bland as hell)
