Raisins come out as grapes though.
Laughing at me scolding MrSOH in that dream.
I couldn't be arsed with mashing and so on and A's never been keen on being spoon fed. Changed to a BLW type approach and she's been stuffing "normal" food into her ever since. I cut it into pieces small enough for her to pick up and that's it. No chopping or mashing or anything of the sort.
Typical day is: cheerios or rice krispies for breakfast. Tries to use a spoon sometimes and flicks milk everywhere and eats the cereal with her hands whilst I try not to twitch about the mess. Lunch is usually bread based. Either some sort of crisp bread or normal bread with loads or butter or cream cheese and cold meat, cut into fingers. Then I put peeled sticks of cucumber on the plate and cherry tomatoes cut into quarters on the plate. (Yes you can give that stuff with no teeth - they have hard gums. The only thing that doesn't work with babies would be thick pieces of meat, like steak, because you need teeth to break it down.) Then fruit. She's a HUGE fan of grapes, like tank Mathilda and loves pineapple chunks, slices of pear or any berries. Sometimes a jelly or yoghurt after that, which she suffers being fed on a spoon if I let her put the spoon in once it's loaded with food. For dinner she sometimes has our "leftovers" from the night before, so today it will be chicken provencal with new potatoes. I'll cut the chicken into strips but she'll go at the rest herself. If we've had an unsuitable meal the night before then she has something like a cheese omelette, which I cut into strips for her to eat with her hands. Usually a plain biscuit after dinner as a sort of "supper" before bed.
Unfortunately I've given the poor child OCD because I'm always wiping the table around her and now she tries to rub off anything she spills. Oops. I purposely didn't keep cleaning her hands and face mid meal, even though I wanted to, so that I didn't make her fussy, but didn't manage to restrain myself about the mess on the table. Oh well.
