What to go on toast?

[HandMini]

My daughter is 7mo and eating well. She likes bread and toast, but I'm not sure what to put on it other than butter.

Is peanut butter ok yet?

I think honey is forbidden until 1 yo?

Marmite seems a bit salty?

Is jam generally ok even though sugary? I a not totally anti sugar but do try and avoid super sweet stuff.

What am I missing?

Philadelphia type cheese
Ordinary cheese-on-toast

Ds used to like dairylea on toast.

Sugar free jam -St Dalfour is divine
Mashed banana
Avocado

Philly. Houmous. I also do jam, but good quality/ small potion.

Ah, philly's a good idea. Mashed banana is a big hit. Mashed avocado not so much.

Is sugar free jam less sweet? Does it contain artificial sweeteners?

No, it's often just fruit sugars. SuperJam is another brand.

Marmite is fine if you use sparingly. We tended to do marmite, houmous or spready cheese. And cheese on toast, sometimes with extra ingredients to make a kind of fake pizza.

Sugar free jam sounds... odd. Surely the whole point of jam is that it is made using the fruit sugar? Or is it no added sugar jam?

I make my own "jam" a bit like a compote with frozen berries in a pan bubble down and add a little sugar if too tart.

Dairylea is a big hit here too and I've done normal cheese on toast.

I agree with cheese spread and sugar free jam. Also my HV said that all the vitamins in marmite far outweigh the salt so that's ok too although you might want to wait a little bit for that

marmite, peanut butter, banana, hummous, mashed egg, beans all hits in this house.

Ok, sounds good. Thanks all, online shop tonight will include philly and sugar free jam

No added sugar jam is made using fruit sugars rather than bags of sugar.

Would have used peanut butter too, but nobody else likes it. I think current advice is that it's fine but if there is a history of allergies or the child has other related problems such as asthma or excezma it's best to check with your GP.

I used to make mock pizzas too. Toast with a thin speed of something tomatoey (home made pizza sauce in my case with lots of other veg hidden in it :o) with cheese on top.

Instead of jam I just use fruit purée. DS (9mo) also likes mashed sardines with cream cheese, pesto and cheese grilled (poor man's pizza ), tuna and mayo. Basically anything that sticks!

St Dalfour is made with pure fruit and sweetened with grape juice, I think. I reckon the sweetness is more subtle than jam made with sugar.

Mackerel.

Ah, too slow with the cheap pizza idea

I have had big success with a sandwich maker and a tortilla, brushed with butter or olive oil, folded in half and placed horizontally,and filled with

Cheese plus...

Soft veggies
Mince, tinned tuna or white fish
Fnely shredded meat
Fruit (with Philly or similar)

It makes four sealed little triangles if you lay the tortilla sideways and folded in half so it is across both sandwich sections and I like it because means they are eating less bread (which is quite salty) and more other stuff. Easy to pick up too, less messy than toast where the toppings slide off and can be taken out and about. I call it the Trojan toasty.

Because you can get veg and protein in secretly if your baby or toddler is a refusenik.

Boneless sardines (in oil rather than brine or tomato sauce as less salty) are a big hit in our house.
