bannana on toast

She can have jam if you pick a nice one thats just fruit and sugar. But she will probably just love toast on it's own.

soup

mine love fruit spread, I get it from holland and barrett

if you could squeeze just a little more into your freezer then I'd say make it yourself as soup has got to be THE easiest thing ever. But I do know what you mean about having little space in the freezer. I have no idea about brands of baby soups in the UK.....maybe someone else could advise.

just look out for lower salt ones. But as long as its not everyday I am sure you will be ok!
Mine love baked beans I get the low suger salt ones

7 months sounds a bit young to be putting her on convenience foods everyday IMO. Maybe tinned beans/soup etc once or twice a week. Otherwise what about scrambled eggs/cream cheese on toast? You could give her two lots of frozen mush without a problem.. Cauliflower cheese? Pasta? What about what you eating? Cooked veggies as finger food?

asda do a range of ready cooked kids meals with contolled salt etc..freezer space though!! Although some a fride freindly!! Also do a nice vege ravioli in a tin

You could equally freeze "quick" meals such as cheese or tomato based pasta sauces, cauliflower cheese etc which you could serve with dried pasta shapes. Or keep the veg from your previous meal (ie. do a bit too much), keep in fridge and mush that into a soup next day with a some hot water. dd loved scrambled egg with toast and fluffy jacket potato mashed with tuna, cheese etc. I'd avoid the "ready to serve" type tins as they are higher in salt and sugar/sweeteners than is necessary at this age.

You can microwave jacket potatoes and remove the skins and mash as Lizs suggests.

Auntybrandybutter - Just check the ingredients of the low sugar beans as some contain Aspartame. Which is probably the last thing you would want to feed your child.

is that bad

Ds2 is also 7 months. I don't differentiate between lunch and tea for him. I do massive batches of cubes of food (spag bog, lentils, chicken, veg, fruit etc.) and he just gets that at every meal. He will usually get what we're having if we're eating at home for lunch.

Mine have liked sardine fishcakes (just sardines and mash, made into patties), cheesy mash, avocado and banana (yeah I know but they all ate it), pulse type beans (tinned, no salt) mixed with cooked veg and tomato with rice; egg fried rice (home made), tuna and sweetcorn mini omelettes
