Ideas for feeding fussy 1yo

6 replies

emoo777 · 24/02/2011 18:19

Can anyone suggest some meals a 1 year old baby might like, that are simple and the whole family could have? My husband can't have any wheat, which complicates things. My little girl is so fussy that we only end up alternating scrambled egg, stage 1 ella's kitchen and chicken in sweet squash. HELP!

Dd has become a bit fussy recently. She will eat
Yoghurt
Spaghetti bolognese ( we have never tried wheat free pasta)
Egg sandwiches ( same with WF bread)
Mild home made chicken or veg korma
Medium chicken tikka masala ( just a few bites though)
Bananas

Dd also likes home made burgers with home made chips, but what child doesn't.
Strawberries

Have you tried her with stage 2 and 3 ellas kitchen? Dd used to have them. She loved the veg bake, that's stage 2.

Don't know anything about what has wheat in, I'm afraid, but current favourites in our house are stir fry (DS' veg taken out before soy sauce put in, which also helps to make it cooler for him), pasta bakes, marinated lamb and couscous with roasted veg, sausage casserole, mac and cheese, pittas with salads and meatballs, jacket potatoes and beans, risottos (you may want to use low-salt stock cubes), homemade pizzas, cheese on toast, omlettes, stew... You can just chop bits up smaller as she needs.

Just shout if you need any recipes.

Assuming that she is otherwise healthy, it may be worth giving her the food you're all eating and allowing her to not eat it if she throws a tantrum and hope that she learns if she's hungry she needs to eat what she's offered. Easier said than done, I know, but it can work.

Also, my DS loves soup - messy, but definitely family food.

Pasta bake
Tuna risotto
Cream cheese on toast( anything on toast really)
Grapes ( if I'm lucky)

Chicken and leek potato bake
Fish pie
Cottage pie
Salmon and leek risotto
Beef stew
Lamb stew
Chicken goujons and roasted vegetables

All can be adjusted for bit size depending what she will eat.
