Traditional weaning meal ideas

[MammaBear2719]

Hey people
Could you please give me some meal ideas for my 1 year old, I have been weaning her since 6 months old and have done a mixture of BLW and TW mainly TW as I'm terrified of chocking 🙈 running out of ideas!
Thanks 😊

Loads of weaning recipes on MN.

This guide from the Caroline Walker Trust has lots of ideas for first taste foods, portion sizes, finger foods to try and sample menus too

What sorts of things is she having now, both in terms of foods and textures? At one, I think she should be able to eat a pretty good range of standard 'family foods' (watching the salt and sugar, of course).

At that age my daughter liked mashed potato with veg and cheese, also with parsnip or butternut squash mixed with the potato. Pesto pasta with veg, also quite fond of kidney beans and rice in a tomato sauce and surprisingly (to me at least) keen on soup of almost any variety, preferably with toast fingers to dip.

Sorry I totally missed that LO is one. Traditional weaning a one year old doesn't really exist as traditionally by one babies are eating family meals.

I've linked the wrong guide from the Caroline Walker Trust above sorry as I missed the age, this is the one for one to four year olds.

If you're scared of LO choking, are you giving any finger foods, like cheese on toast or veg sticks?

I'd really recommend trying to find a baby first aid course near to you so that you know what to do if LO does choke or just watch some videos on YouTube.

At that age my DD loved eggy bread, blueberry pancakes or ready brek with chopped banana for breakfast. Cinnamon and raisin bagels toasted with butter were another favourite.

Sandwiches, bean burgers, pasta, omelette are all good lunches. She loved a "bits" lunch where I gave her a little bit of different things that we had in.

For dinner she pretty much had what we were having but I used low salt stock cubes. So things like fish pie, spag bol, roast dinner she loved.

How do you feel about giving LO any of these?

Thank you all for replying, I appreciate it but I posted this last year lol my little one has just turned two so no problems with weaning now as it's all done! Thanks anyway
