DD loves food!

Today she has had
Breastfeed in bed with me

Breakfast: 2 bowls of cereal, toast and jam

Snacks: A tangerine, a banana, sultanas, 2 mini doughnuts (left over party food)

Lunch: 2 quorn sausages, potato, carrots, broccoli, peas, yorkshire pudding then 2 fromage frais

Snacks: Another tangerine, a malted biscuit, red pepper and cucumber

Tea: 2 cheese rolls, apple, 2 fromage frais

She'll be going to bed soon but no doubt will want supper first

Any ideas what I can give her? Too much fruit=not nice nappies.

Any ideas for healthy stuff that will fill her up?

that's more than DS eats in a week! Lucky you, having such a good eater.

Mine usually eats fruit, but other snacks he enjoys are:

Cottage Cheese
Peas (straight from the freezer/ defrosted)
Corn (ditto)
Crumpets
Weetabix (great before bed)
Blueberries
Applesauce

Ooh crumpets is a good idea! And haven't tried cottage cheese yet.

I know mamama, she nearly eats more than DS1 and DS2 combined

Another thing DS loves is wraps - I either cut one in half & sandwich it together with melted cheese (assemble & nuke in microwave for a few seconds) or spread hummus or nutella on and roll them up.

Thanks for the replies

She doesn't do eggs, just about the only thing she doesn't eat.

She's already having loads of the stuff mentioned but will def be trying the pitta bread, chick peas and canellini beans. She loves having a bowl too so stuff that I can just chuck in there while I make her food is great. (She wails when she is hungry, very pitiful like she's never seen food when in fact she is solid, rather like a barrel!)

I'm not too worried about the fromage frais. I've done BLW and have never fed her anything with a spoon so the amount that actually makes it into her mouth under her own steam can be quite limited compared to the amount that she spreads all over her tray, hair, big brother

I'm about to do an online food shop so will be adding new things for her to try and I'll let you know how we get on (pretty safe bet that she'll love them all though LOL)
