Weaning when on holiday

[Colinthecaterpillar35]

Hi all

We've just started weaning our little boy who's 6 months. We're doing a mix of purées and finger food but not a lot is being swallowed at the moment!

We're going down to Cornwall in a couple of weeks for a holiday. At the moment I'm making all his purées and finger food from scratch but I don't want to be spending loads of time steaming/cooking whilst on holiday. Does anyone have any suggestions on what we could buy/make so that we're not cooking all the time whilst on holiday? I'm trying to stay away from pouches as I don't want to introduce lots of sweet tastes but maybe I might have to? Any suggestions also for finger food for on the go as well please would be great 😁

The Ella’s kitchen pouches are pretty good and they have plenty of vegetable ones. If you are self catering take frozen ice cubes of homemade purée. Otherwise I think just offering some chopped up fruit and veg or a little of what you’re eating (maybe not fish and chips!) will be fine. It’s unlikely your little one is actually eating much of the solids anyway!

We just gave ours bits of food we had out, she had her first chips and cassava. We were meant to take some pouches but we forgot to pack them, so we just stuck with giving her bits of ours.
