Feeding my 10 month old restaurent meals?

[diddle]

Hi,

I am going on holiday to Florida in a few months, and my son will be on more solid food than he is now. am i ok to give him restaurent meals? as we don't have a kitchen in our hotel, only a microwave. or will the sale content be too high. I don't mean feed him chicken and chips etc i mean food like meat and veg once a day and perhaps make finger foods for lunch.

PLEASE HELP

You could certainly give him some of the food off your plate ( don't add salt) if it is a vaguely decent restaurant and not McDonalds etc then the salt content shoudl be fine.
I would also buy a few jars of food out there and take a couple of bowls etc with you in case it turns out your ds doesn't fancy what you''re having (or you don't fancy sharing it!). Restaurant should be able to heat up the food for you or provide a bowl of hot water for you to heat it in (depends on how panicky they are about you sueing them/how family friendly they are)

Sounds fine to me, just opt for things you'd normally give him.

phew feel a bit reassured now

We've fed DS restaurant type food since he was about 10 months. Not sure about US, but some UK restaurants have controlled salt/sugar levels.
If you have grilled meat, veggies, baked potato etc you can give him those without much of a problem

Pasta is also really good. DD particularly liked ravioli (if you can stand the sauce everywhere). Though any thicker pasta works well (e.g. twists, penne) Spegetti tends to be too tricky for the little people, unless you cut up and spoon in.

I asked for omelettes at this age too.

hiya, we have always taken our dd to restaraunts, she is 14 months old, only been abroad once, and always given her something off our plates. i have often ordered something i wouldnt usually, just so i could give her some food.also, i would offer your son anything, not just what he would normally eat. if he can chew it, i would offer him it. my daughter loves chicken satays and pepperami,which my mum said would be too spicy for her.but you never know untill you try!!

Think DS devoured smoked salmon pasta from DH's plate at a reataurant when younger than 10 mths Peobably not recommended tho!!

You don't need jars even.What do you think people did before them?

I moved to the back of beyond (Turkish/Iraqi border) when ds was 3 mths.
He was weaned on flatbread,beans and natural youghurt in a variety of roadside shacks.

So glad i decided to post this question, feel totally reassured now, sometimes that all you need isn't it. someone to say yeh you're doing the right thing
