DD is 8.5 months and has sort of got the whole eating thing... Some days she will, for example, polish off the majority of a slice of toast with philly and some fruit etc. Other days, she just seems to play and nothing (or not much) goes in.
As a result I haven't really got onto 3 meals a day yet - I always give breakfast and some days we do lunch and dinner, but mostly just one or the other.
If we have something appropriate for dinner, then I usually save some for DD the next day (some roasted veggies for example) but if it's something she can't really have I usually just offer a snack. If it's lunchtime, I often just share a bit of my sarnie with her...
Sometimes I make the effort to make her an omelette or some pasta or something for tea, and she doesn't really eat it, hence the toast - which is always easier!
DH gets home too late for us to all eat together, so I usually make something for DD about 5.30ish and then we eat later.
My question is, when do you move on from 'snacky' type things like toast with a topping, a bit of fruit etc and give more balanced 'full' meals? (ie protein, carbs + veg) Should I be offering her more food now? I know it's only for fun until she's 1, but I am having one of my BLW wobbles and wonder if she is getting enough food and/or variety.
