Does anyone fancy a weaning 'what have you eaten today' thread?

[WithRosesAroundTheDoor]

I am struggling for ideas this time and thought thought that this could be a good way to share ideas, if anyone is interested.

DD is 6.5m. Mainly BLW but with the occasional spoon fed meal if it makes more sense to spoon feed.
Number of meals depends on what is going on but God help me if I am eating and she is not.

So yesterday
Breakfast- porridge with banana puree mixed in.
Lunch- avocado on toast
Tea- sweet potato wedges

DD2 tends to have more meals when dd1 is home from nursery as they eat together.

Today we had

B: wheatabix and peach puree
L: spaghetti bol
D: Sweet potato mash with cheese and a pinch of curry powder...was soooo nice!

B - blueberry porridge fingers
T - sausage sliced lengthways into 4’s, cheesey mash, broccoli and some carrot and swede mash.

Loving some of these suggestions!

Today we had

Banana amaranth porridge - a great substitute for oats - and half a banana still in its peel for him to work on

Avocado and butterbean mash with steamed cauliflower florets and a mango pit for dessert

B- wheetabix - I keep trying but she's not a fan
L- avocado on toast and butternut squash. half a satsuma
T- macaroni cheese and sweetcorn, roast green beans. Baked apple slices with natural yogurt to dip.

B - several rounds of breast feeding, on and off all morning.
L - Cajun quinoa (Asda microwave bag) mixed with some natural yog and a smushed up kiwi fruit
T - cheese on toast, some sorry looking mange tout that I steamed in the microwave

B: same old oatmilk porridge with chia jam and half a crumpet with almond butter. Might treat him to something different this weekend!

L: salmon with potatoes, sweet potato mash and peas. With courgette and banana muffin.

D: curried lentil bake - some as finger food and some mushed up with coconut yogurt. Broccoli florets. And coconut yogurt with mushed banana and chia jam for dessert

B: don’t know as he got up with his dad. Probably oatmilk porridge with chia jam!!

L: half a pouch of beef casserole as we were in a cafe. Then couple of chips and some of his big brothers chicken skewer.

D: rest of the beef casserole pouch, broccoli florets and a courgette and banana muffin. Coconut yogurt with prunes and chia jam for dessert.

Oh, also had half a banana for lunch

I’m finding it a bit weird as he has really dropped the amount of breastfeeds now. Like he used to feed every couple of hours at least, but now he just eats massive meal and won’t really entertain proper breastfeeds during the day (likes to feed a lot at night though). Anyone else found this?

B - wheetabix and yoghurt
L - sucked on the crust of her brothers sarnie
T - chicken curry with rice, few spoons of vanilla ice cream

B- natural yogurt with smushed strawberries.
L- marmite on toast, half a banana, half a satsuma
T- potato wedges, cucumber, tomato, chunk of homemade cheese burger (gummed to death)
Apple and peach puree.

My DD is 12 months but today was:-

B:- Scrambled egg, toast with dairylea & banana
L:- spag bol, toast with butter & orange slices
D:- cottage pie with cheese on top, yogurt and an extra helping of cheese (she’s obsessed!).

Plus 4oz (morning), 6oz (afternoon) and 4.5oz (bedtime) of milk

@SkyTrees
Mine seems to be having a growth spurt or something. She is actually having more milk than she was and seems constantly ravenous. She's also quite tired a lot at the moment.

B: oatmilk porridge with chia jam and half a crumpet with almond butter (again! Forgot that I was planning to make pancakes til the standard breakfast was already prepared)

L: half a tomato pasta pouch in a cafe

Second L: bits from various people’s Sunday dinners in pub (broccoli, mash, roast pot, pork)

T: rest of tomato pasta pouch with broccoli florets. Coconut yogurt with mushed banana and blueberries for dessert.

B: porridge with milk and fruit puree
L: beef bolognese with sweet potato, two slices of melon, yoghurt
D: mashed baked beans with cheese

B- natural yogurt and strawberries
L- a carrot, parsnip and Apple puree pouch as we were out and my brunch was too salty.
Half a slice of toast because I was still eating and she went nuts at not having anything left.
T- chicken in mushroom sauce, carrot batons, roast potato, parsnips.

B:- pancakes, scrambled egg & a pear purée pouch - then had some Cheerios
L:- cheese toastie, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and a raspberry yogurt suckie
D:- pasta bake, banana purée pouch & some ellas kitchen puff pops

B - scrambly eggs and toast
L - chocolate hobnob
S - bit of my crumpet

7 million BFs

DS is 12 months, but everything would be ok for younger ones.

B: Handful of Cheerios, banana, half a piece of toast with jam
L: Fusilli with shredded cheese, peas, and tuna, with apple slices for dessert
S: Rice cakes
D: Potato and leek soup with toast for dipping, cucumber slices, and a yogurt for dessert

DS now 6.5months

B: Banana and coconut pancakes (Joe Wicks recipe) and oatmilk porridge with blueberries

L: sweet potato mash with peanut butter and oatly spread (fake cream cheese) mixed in. Sweet potato wedges seasoned with smoked paprika and some toast fingers with oat spread on top. Then some peach chia pudding concoction which he LOVED.

T: Couscous with sweet potato and broccoli. More sweet potato wedges. Broccoli florets. Then more peach chia pudding - still loved in the evening

For anyone who’s interested, the pudding thing was a tin of peaches in juice blended with presoaked chia seeds and some oat milk. Then some baby rice we had in the cupboard stirred in too.

Peach pudding sounds lovely.

Today we had
B- banana and strawberry pancakes
L- Toast with marmite and cream cheese. Cucumber sticks and tomato slices
Two of those melty strawberry wafer things.
T- BBQ chicken, new potatoes, cauliflower florets

I have a 10 month old and yesterday he had

7am - banana and cinnamon pancakes with yoghurt and fruit
8am - 8oz formula
11:30am - homemade sausage roll with potato waffle and fruit
1pm - 6oz formula
3:30pm - raspberry rice cakes
5pm - tomato and basil loaves with homemade sweet potato fries and veg
7pm - 8oz formula and bed

Love this thread, always up for new food ideas

@Csx99 tomato basil loaves sound great! Do you have a recipe?

Today has not been a healthy day.

B - weetabix with mushed up blueberries
L - half a digestive, 3 chips (at soft play)
T - broccoli, carrots, sausage and mash made of 50/50 potato and cauliflower with cheese and butter in.

B: oatmilk blueberry porridge and some banana and coconut pancakes with almond butter spread on them.

L: fillet of hake with sweet potato wedges and broccoli. Peach chia pudding

T: curried lentil bake, coconut yogurt and a hard boiled egg (he didn’t seem to recognise the egg as food though, so mushed it into some of the bake and yogurt and he ate it off a spoon instead). Peach chia pudding.
