Hi all, I have an 8 month old little boy and we're in the weaning stages. He gets his 3 proper meals a day .So breakfast, his porridge maybe some fruit. His dinner I would have pureed carrot,potatoes etc and his lunch he would have maybe some fruit, bread, ham. I also introduced lots of meat etc.He's also on his bottles. I feel I'm doing it wrong though? I have a friend who has a baby a similar age but she is literally glued to every cook book going and makes everything from scratch. She says she spends all her days in the kitchen . Her meals are all IMO a bit OTT but fair play to her. But it is causing me to worry I'm not doing a good enough job. 🙄

I was always a bit lazy kern to get them enjoying family meals so not really much special cooking went on here but I do cook most days anyway so the baby would be eating that if you get what I mean?

What sorts of things do you enjoy eating that you think LO could try too? Wink

I never did any special 'baby' cooking.

My kids were weaned by giving them what we were eating (no salt added) either as spoon food or finger food.

I wouldn’t worry OP. Sounds like your friend has rather a lot of time on her hands and has read too many books 🤣 Most normal mums have jobs, other kids to sort and lives to lead and don’t have time for such indulgence.
Apart from the ham which is a bit UP and salty, what you are doing sounds grand. If the kid is healthy, Crack on!
