Just had some great advice over on the weaning boards because baby DS is constipated. But it's made me worried that actually my children's diet isn't right. They eat what I think of as really well but they do poo a lot (huge occasionally a bit soft) and occasionally complain of sore tummies. I've noticed over holidays this has happened more. Which I find surprising as I know they don't eat that well at school (sometimes come home saying they ate some plain rice, cucumber and pudding) DH has various digestives issues so I've always put it down to that but maybe not. Am I actually wreaking havoc on their little tummies with too much fibre? Any experts out there who can advise?
Breakfast fruit e.g. blueberries to start (sometimes with yoghurt) then toast with eggs or porridge with ground almonds and coconut.
Lunch spinach and potato omelette with veg tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, carrot sticks etc
Snack an apple, crackers with peanut butter (often don't have a snack)
Supper quinoa, lentil, carrot and mushroom bolognese with pasta, roast sweet potato, green beans.
Small amount of fruit e.g. A satsuma
We aren't vegetarians but don't eat loads of meat. Meals obviously vary and are sometimes less 'healthy' e.g. Fish pie, curry etc but always with two portions or more of vegetables.
