My sister reckons she spends £200-300 a month on food and snacks alone for her baby who is of weaning age. I was really surprised and it wasn’t a cost I’d factored in. She says it’s something everyone just has to suck up and do, for convenience and the portion sizes already being prepared. DN doesn’t have a special diet and seems a good eater.
When we get to that point I would have thought we would just adapt what we have minus salt or too much spice; vegetable curries, pasta dishes, jacket potatoes, shepherds pie, porridge and fruit, so on. We have a blender to make our own but I’m sure we will buy a few pureed pouches with each weekly shop for emergencies and those days when we’re very busy or away. Aside from that if our shopping bill increases very slightly I expected it would only be to include more fruit and veg.
Aibu to think I can avoid the snacks on the baby aisle and instead give pitta and hummus, breadsticks, cheese, rice cakes, Greek yoghurt, fruit etc?
