Bread / salt concerns

My twins are 8 months and weaning is going well - home-made food, lots of finger foods such a fruit, frittatas, omelettes, and mushed up salt-free versions of what we eat.

They seem to really like toast / crumpets / pitta. Initially, I wasn't concerned about the salt content of these because they really weren't eating much. Now, though, they are actually eating bits of bread rather than chewing / throwing. It's still not much, but given they also like cheese (don't give them huge amounts), should I be more concerned?

I really don't think I have time to make bread type stuff - there just isn't time in the day!

I usually try to make sure that I only give that sort of food once a day. There is an awful lot of salt in most bready products.

Weaning twins must have a lot of clearing up! I am not surprised that you don't have time to bake!
I would also go easy on too much salt. Maybe rice cakes could be an alternative?

I would limit to once a day at most.
Unsalted rice cakes are good as are porridge fingers. You can do them in the microwave.
Or if you do get a bit of time, sugar and salt free pancakes are a winner here. Poor Werepup, that's his idea of a good time.

Thanks everyone. They've been having bread / etc with one meal a day, so will introduce rice cakes too.

I'm trying to find a salt-free flatbread type recipe as I might have time to batch cook in the evenings.

Messy? Weaning twins? My dining room looks like a Jackson Pollock painting.
