Lunch ideas please - 9 month old

[Tinks15]

Starting back at work in May & DD2 will be going to a childminder, needs some ideas what can I pack her for lunch?

Will they cook or just reheat stuff? Sandwiches, dinner leftovers?

I think to begin with they will reheat stuff but they said would give ginger food alongside what I provide as well.

Yep sandwiches & leftovers dinners are a good one. The days I work I won’t necessarily be cooking baby friendly dinners though so I’m going to have to start doing bits now & freezing them.

Cubes of cheese
Strips of ham
Strips of pitta bread
Mini rice cakes
Mini breadsticks
Hard boiled egg
Cucumber
Halved cherry tomatoes
Blueberries
Peeled and sliced kiwi
Halved grapes
Mango chunks
A little pot of Cheerios

What does she have for lunch now? Can't you just pack her what she'd normally have now at home?

What does she eat at home? My 9 month old likes anything mashed, rice cakes, sweet corn, peas, hot cross buns, eggs. She doesn't eat sandwiches though. She needs everything in tiny, tiny pieces or she gags and coughs too much and scares me.

Yes I will pack her what she has now but it always seems to be ‘bready’ things that she has so I wanted some ideas away from bread really. Lunch is the one meal I always struggle with.

Pancakes or Frittatas? (corn/spinach/pea and/or grated potato/carrot)

Meatballs

Fish fingers

Chicken croquets

Watermelon
