To think this is a huge portion for an 11 month old I'm socked at it

Taking a photo of a friends baby's dinner and putting it on the internet for people to slate her parenting is the most unreasonable thing going on here.
The meal looks ok as an occasional treat minus the face thing, obviously at least 75% of it will end up on the floor.

I can't believe people are calling fish fingers junk food 😮

tinypop4 · 14/03/2017 07:52

batgrrrl depends what fish fingers they are - many brands have dubious amounts of fish in the them...

JonesyAndTheSalad · 14/03/2017 08:03

Tiny is right...

Has anyone actually bothered to compare the nutritional content of what's on this plate with, say, pasta and pesto, scrambled egg and toast or hummus and breadsticks (fairly typical "middle class" fare for small children, ime)?

But that is classy fat and starch, ComputerUserNumptyTwit. We are supposed to judge trashy fat and starch, fed to an "already huge" baby. That's why OP lifted it from her poor friend's FB page.

ComputerUserNumptyTwit · 14/03/2017 08:24

I know pax. It's depressing.

GeekyWombat · 14/03/2017 08:34

Wow OP you seem to be fat shaming an 11month old. Good job.

Taking one photo out of context is just unbelievably shitty IMHO. You don't know what the baby eats for other meals. Also, let's face it, at 11 months the reason there's probably lots of different bits is because on any given day they might like to try something or chuck it on the floor. They're eleven months old FFS. Do you think they're going to eat all of this and not drop / chuck / play with some?

But you can feel so superior. Well done. Go back to your quinoa frittatas* or whatever it is you feed your DC and pray that your 'friend' isn't on Mumsnet.

  • other pretentious 'worthy' foodstuffs are available. Although if I ever start a band (unlikely) I might call it Quinoa Frittatas...

Quinoa must be steamed and without egg, GeekyWombat. Otherwise you will be FAT. Fact.

ComputerUserNumptyTwit · 14/03/2017 08:43

Iceland do a lovely bag of quinoa with mixed beans.

It's probably junk food though because it's frozen and it's not from Waitrose.

paxillin · 14/03/2017 08:45

Iceland! You'd grow a pink shell suit immediately!

ComputerUserNumptyTwit · 14/03/2017 08:48

Given I'm sitting in my pyjamas right now smoking a roll up, a shell suit might be an improvement Grin

paxillin · 14/03/2017 09:06

Put a plastic chair in your front garden and have your roll up there, with a mug of sugared tea. Wait for a neighbour to start an AIBU thread about you.

ComputerUserNumptyTwit · 14/03/2017 09:13

I'll post a selfie on Facebook of me doing exactly that. Give 'em something with which to illustrate their AIBU.

My 11 month old would eat chips and turkey dinosaurs, was handy learning food as it was cheap enough to waste and quick enough to make. She mostly had potato and veg or pasta, rice etc. Even now she rarely has chips etc or fish fingers and loves it.

Radoxqueen · 14/03/2017 12:11

Got to admit I only know what they were because my older kids like them 😳I buy from Asda Though if that makes it any better 😂
