Musing...What food have you found easiest to eat 1-handed while BFing?

[LittleMysMum]

Because I'm sick of cheese on toast and cereal bars!

[coffeecups]

i wouldn't recommend noodle soup

[8oreighty]

ambrosia custard, straight from the can. yum yum.

[Stinkyfeet]

Pizza. Cake. Choc.

[PigeonPie]

I managed fish and chips from the chippie a few times!

Otherwise, risotto and pasta were perfectly possible - and keeping control of a two-year old at the same time

[chocoholic]

Chocolate biscuits!!

[thehairybabysmum]

chocolate, cake, creme eggs, cheese on its own.

Can youtell i put weight on whilst bf !

[Grandhighpoohba]

Sausage rolls, as long as you brush the pastry flakes of the baby before the health visitor comes round.

[DitaVonCheese]

Pizza! Or a roast.

Pasta leaves tomato stains all down one side of DD's babygros

[Guitargirl]

Ah, I was coming on to this thread to say toast...

I get DP to cut mine up and then put the plate on to the opposite side of where DS is feeding.

[thell]

Ha ha ! I remember having to rely on cereal bars too!!

Big vote for pasta with stir-in sauces - if you have to try and put the meal together yourself aswell...
otherwise you need another person to chop up your food for you so you can just stab it with a fork.

[thell]

Oh, and drape a muslin over the baby's babygro! Luckily the time I forgot we were eating carbonara, so no tomato stains (phew).

[Guitargirl]

'I get DP to cut mine up and then put the plate on to the opposite side of where DS is feeding.'

What I meant was that way you can eat almost anything...I didn't mean I get DP to cut up toast for me...

[onepieceofcremeegg]

Pizza - chop up small.

Bolognese - but avoid spaghetti and keep the sauce fairly dry, use pasta twirls instead.

Oven chips. (yum) Serve with salad and cold meat already chopped up by your dh/dp/friend

Chocolate for pudding.

Smoothies for in the day.

[AitchTwoOh]

lol i well remember having to flick dd over on her side so that the biscuit crumbs would fall out of her ears.

[LargeGlassofRed]

god don't know how I'm going to manage with twins
maybe soup and a long straw

[LittleMysMum]

pmsl at some of these! Have already discovered that pasta sauce and white babygros don't mix...

[onepieceofcremeegg]

Drape a muslin gently over the baby's head/clothing, especially if he/she is wearing a clean babygrow.

Toasties are yummy as well. I go through phases of going mad on them.

[EachPeachPearMum]

flapjacks! Also- if you have the 'bitesize' ones, you can just chuck them in your mouth as you dash past the kitchen

[thehairybabysmum]

Toasties are lovely but not good to get molten lava innards when you bf.

[isittooearlyforgin]

my dh seemed to revel in making the most ridiculous bf foods! fahitas, spag bol, soup (found lots of crumbs, dribbles down dd's neck!)

[onepieceofcremeegg]

True, hbm. I chopped them up in the kitchen, and then waited til they were between warm and lukewarm.

[Guadalupe]

I second each peach, flapjacks were my saviour!

[PortAndLemon]

Cake. Which may account for a lot...

[preggersplayspop]

Those tubs of chocolate mini bites and flapjacks from M&S. I went through a lot of them, especially good in the wee hours of those early days when its just you and baby awake at 3am and you are a little bit bored.

[isittooearlyforgin]

aaah! i love those mini bites - not pregnant just greedy
