We've also started to introduce some "finger foods" on top of the purees and he's actually quite good at getting the food from his tray to his mouth! So far all we've tried is toast fingers and some cooked carrot, and he devoured the toast in no time and was quite upset to discover there wasn't anymore...the carrots he didn't seem too fussed on eating, but he did enjoy squishing them! It's so cute watching him push the food around in his mouth with his tongue to chomp on it. I think he chews his food better than I do half the time.
When we start on breakfast this weekend we're going to introduce Greek Yoghurt. It's pretty confusing as a parent to try and sift through all the recommendations from various places about what to feed your baby and when, and although cow's milk should wait till between 9-12 months, yoghurt has the go-ahead from 6 months onwards. I choose Greek Yoghurt over regular because it has less sugar and more protein. So we'll see how the boy-o likes that with a little peach puree added in! Peach yoghurt is one of my favourites. :)
He also sure loves that Sippy Cup!
What's your little's favourite food?
What a little sweetheart! I can't believe that my youngest is well beyond this stage already! Our little boys ate anything and everything (and they still do!)
ReplyDeleteI think that's pretty much every parents dream!
Deletetoo cute! brocolli florets cooked pretty soft are a (messy) hit here. These banana fritters are also a hit with the whole family and perfect for baby boo http://makesthemostof.com/2013/10/02/makes-the-most-of-4-ingredient-gluten-free-recipe/
ReplyDeleteWe haven't tried broccoli or bananas yet, but they're both on our list of things to try soon!
DeleteI didn't have all the advice 29 years ago. I did a lot of food introduction by trial and error. Have fun with the yogurt!!

Thanks for your comment Peggy. I think even today a lot of it is by trial and error since every child is different!
