bread?

[vict17]

Hi everyone. Just wondering if anyone can help me with this? My 7 month ds isn't particuarly fond of my homemade dinners but I have noticed he will eat them if they are spread on or dipped in bread. So for lunch he had his dinner with about half a slice of wholemeal bread. How much bread is too much at this stage? I think I read somewhere that I shouldn't fill him up too much with high fibre products as he won't take in the nutrients but if it's the only way of getting meat and veg down him is it okay? TIA

Doesn't sound like too much bread to me - one slice at lunch and one at tea?

My ds's eat quite a lot of wholemeal bread and I don't think anything of it.

Mine will only eat food with ketchup on - I know they probably have too much but if they eat veg with it I don't care!

I can't see what is wrong with using bread as the carb content of the meal, (ie instead of rice/pasta/potaot etc). At about 8 monhts I started giving my son a slice of bread for lunch with chesse/tuna/salmon/humous/avaocado on it and lettuce and cucmber (he won't touch the latter 2 now, but thats another story). You could always alternate wholemeal with other breads, pitta, tortillas, naan, bagels, french bread that aren't so fibrous. My son loved all of these.

Thanks guys for the reasurance. I was starting to feel guilty that I was choosing the easy option by filling him up with bread rather than go through Annabel Karmel until I cook something he actually likes! Goobledigook - how old are your ds's if you dont mind me asking?
