7 month meal ideas

[Gem0412]

Lo is 7 months old I started weaning at 5.5 months but feel stuck as to what to give her now. I feel like she just has the same things over and over.

Here is roughly what she eats:
Breakfast 3 heaped tablespoons of readybrek with 3 ice cubes of mixed fruit
Morning snack is either fruit, biscotti or rusk
Lunch is mixed vegetables, sweet potato and califlour or parsnip, carrot etc with yoghurt
Afternoon snack is usually breadsticks but that's more to keep her occupied that what gets ate
Dinner/tea is whatever we're having if its baby suitable or if not its just veggies again. She has another yoghurt after that or custard or rice pudding for afters. She has 2 milk feeds in the day usually before her naps, then one at bedtime and one in the night.
Any ideas or improvements welcome

My LO has wheetabix made with full fat milk for breakfast and/or fruit purees.

Cheese spread/jam/egg mayo/marmite sandwiches for lunch.

Fish/beef/chicken with pureed veg and/or pasta for dinner with a petit filous for pud.

He then has the odd finger food for snacks i.e. rusk/carrot and cucumber sticks.

My LO is breastfed and has more boob feeds than yours in any 24 hour period though.

I'm struggling on what family meals I can give LO though as I want to try and stop doing separate purees for him?!

Hope this gives you some ides.

I just made my 7 month old a tomato pasta sauce with lots of veg in, a bit of garlic and some dried herbs. Gave it him with baby pasta and he loved it! Was worried it was a bit textured for him as only recently started on lumps/textured food but it went down well! Now that I know he will eat like this I think I will start giving him bits of meals like bolognese, casserole, hotpot, cottage etc. Not sure what else yet but so far I have been quite lucky in that he wats eveything so should be quite easy to get him on our meals. Just a bit worried about the salt in gravy and stock cubes so will try and get some baby ones or at least the reduced salt and perhaps only use them every few days?
