We've been giving dd2 (5.5mths) pureed food for a week now and she seems really keen - the total opposite of dd1 who pretty much hated eating until she was 3!
We've just been offering food once a day at lunchtime (although she has grabbed at food from our plates at dinner time - boiled potato and a chunk of avocado).
She's ao far had butternut squash, pear, avocado, carrots&peas and banana. Started off quite sloppy and smooth but has got slightly lumpier over the week (when I hand mashed stuff instead of blending) and she seems happy with that, and has mastered the art of taking the food right into her mouth and 'chewing' it, as opposed to spitting it straight out.
So should I keep up with just basic fruit and veg for 2 more weeks (when she reaches 6mths), or can I now go for more normal combinations - so including meat, dairy etc? Or toast with butter, soft cheese sandwich finger etc?
Also, when do I move to two and then three meals a day?
Sorry this is really long and dull! I just have forgotten everything since Dd1 was weaning!
p.s. I am up for doing pureeing and finger food - not fussed about doing either exclusively.
