Hello,
My daughter is 7.5 months now and food is going really well. She's eating finger foods quite well now and she has quite lumpy purees! For tea I am giving her things like bolognaise, chicken and mash, salmon and mash etc. All is well but I guess I could still do more. She loves it all!
Lunchtime I'm struggling though. If she's having a 'proper' meal at tea I'm presuming lunch shouldn't be carb filled too?! I just don't know! She has been having her veg purees still but to be honest it feels like we're not progressing on that front!
She shared my scrambled egg on toast yesterday which she loved, she really enjoyed smushing up the egg in her hands! I'd already got her a purée ready as I wasn't sure if she'd like the egg-I know she likes toast! She then had about 5 spoonfuls of purée. So still quite a bit considering how much finger food she seemed to eat! Anyway-today I'm going to have cheese on toast and share that with her and steam her some brocolli. Is this the kind of thing I should be doing for lunch now? Just more normal food? What else can I give her? What about meat?
Hmm, any bright ideas for me? How often can she have the same thing? How many times could she have egg in a week for example!
Thanks
