What do you feed your 1 year old?

[shoobaloo]

(also in 'weaning' section!)Am curious... DS is now 1 and I'm wondering if I'm giving him enough 'challenging' foods. I've just been giving him AK recipes from the 9-12 month section in the book - I don't puree I just give them a mash. He also eats toast, cheese chunks, slices of apple and pear (but he always seems to spit these out once he's chewed them!), strips of chicken etc. He still has weetabix everyday for brekkie - sometimes with banana.

we start feeding my DD - when she turned 1 - the same foods as us and she lluurrvveesss it!

If you give your DD the same food as you have, biglips, do you cook without salt or is it less of a problem post 1?

my dd always had what we had, when she started eating our food i stopped cooking with salt and to tell you the truth didnt even really notice, you're not paying that much attention to your food when your feeding/helping feed a little one at the same time!

I fed both my children the same as us and chopped not mashed from about 10/11 months. I don't use salt in cooking and am careful about the stock I use. I used Annabel K but anything I made out of the post 12 month sections I made for the family. Found it most useful up to 12 months TBH.

jacksma - we never add any salt into our foods anyway

That's good to know - I am desperate to start giving my DS the same as us, so I just guess no salt in cooking, which is probably a good thing anyway - thanks all, that has been helpful...

jacksma - i bet you that he will very happy eating away nice foods and also the same as his parents too. On my dd's first bday, she had home made chicken korma and gobbled it ALL up
