Hi everyone
My DS is a lively, healthy 9 month old. He was weaned on purees, & everything has gone well so far. I think it's going well now too, more or less, but I have a couple of questions.
He only tolerates spoonfeeding these days if a) he holds another spoon himself (fine by me) and b) has finger food on his tray / in his hand which he plays with / eats (fine by me also). TBH I've been offering finger food gradually from when he was 6 months so I think it's a good thing that he wants it & of course it'll help him feed himself even quicker (he's already a pretty good self-feeder).
But I find that most times I offer things that are easy & already at hand: bagels; rice cakes; those horrid corn-thingies from Organix (he loves them). Pitta bread. Crackers. Biscuits. Yesterday I got adventurous & offered mixed steamed veg (which was great). Just wondering what other ideas you may have so that I can have easy, ready to make stuff on offer for every meal, to serve alongside his main dish? I don't really want him to be having so many carbs, they probably fill him up which is why he doesn't finish his main meal.
Any suggestions?
