Musing...What food have you found easiest to eat 1-handed while BFing?

[LittleMysMum]

Because I'm sick of cheese on toast and cereal bars!

i wouldn't recommend noodle soup

ambrosia custard, straight from the can. yum yum.

Pizza. Cake. Choc.

I managed fish and chips from the chippie a few times!

Otherwise, risotto and pasta were perfectly possible - and keeping control of a two-year old at the same time

Chocolate biscuits!!

chocolate, cake, creme eggs, cheese on its own.

Can youtell i put weight on whilst bf !

Sausage rolls, as long as you brush the pastry flakes of the baby before the health visitor comes round.

Pizza! Or a roast.

Pasta leaves tomato stains all down one side of DD's babygros

Ah, I was coming on to this thread to say toast...

I get DP to cut mine up and then put the plate on to the opposite side of where DS is feeding.

Ha ha ! I remember having to rely on cereal bars too!!

Big vote for pasta with stir-in sauces - if you have to try and put the meal together yourself aswell...
otherwise you need another person to chop up your food for you so you can just stab it with a fork.

Oh, and drape a muslin over the baby's babygro! Luckily the time I forgot we were eating carbonara, so no tomato stains (phew).

'I get DP to cut mine up and then put the plate on to the opposite side of where DS is feeding.'

What I meant was that way you can eat almost anything...I didn't mean I get DP to cut up toast for me...

Pizza - chop up small.

Bolognese - but avoid spaghetti and keep the sauce fairly dry, use pasta twirls instead.

Oven chips. (yum) Serve with salad and cold meat already chopped up by your dh/dp/friend

Chocolate for pudding.

Smoothies for in the day.

lol i well remember having to flick dd over on her side so that the biscuit crumbs would fall out of her ears.

god don't know how I'm going to manage with twins
maybe soup and a long straw

pmsl at some of these! Have already discovered that pasta sauce and white babygros don't mix...

Drape a muslin gently over the baby's head/clothing, especially if he/she is wearing a clean babygrow.

Toasties are yummy as well. I go through phases of going mad on them.

flapjacks! Also- if you have the 'bitesize' ones, you can just chuck them in your mouth as you dash past the kitchen

Toasties are lovely but not good to get molten lava innards when you bf.

my dh seemed to revel in making the most ridiculous bf foods! fahitas, spag bol, soup (found lots of crumbs, dribbles down dd's neck!)

True, hbm. I chopped them up in the kitchen, and then waited til they were between warm and lukewarm.

I second each peach, flapjacks were my saviour!

Cake. Which may account for a lot...

Those tubs of chocolate mini bites and flapjacks from M&S. I went through a lot of them, especially good in the wee hours of those early days when its just you and baby awake at 3am and you are a little bit bored.

aaah! i love those mini bites - not pregnant just greedy
