Has Rowan been ok with peanut butter?

I've been wary of giving it because she is CMPI and they say to be wary if there is other allergies but I eat peanut butter daily (such a good replacement of real butter on toast!)

 

[Ozzieshunni]

If there is a history of peanut allergies, avoid pb until one year. Other than that, you should be fine

 

[bluehorse]

Yep, Rowan is fine with peanut butter... I have to say I was wary what with his milk allergy and everything but it is good for protein and fat (which he needs) and as he is limited in other respects I wanted to try him with it. Made sure it was in the middle of the day and I had no other plans so I could deal with it if he did react.

Yesterday he had...

Breakfast: Wheaty biscuit soaked in oat milk; melon and tinned peaches
Snack: Little piece of kiwi
Lunch: Eggy bread, strawberries
Snack: Iced banana
Dinner: Cod fillet, mashed sweet potato with spinach, steamed carrot sticks

 

[bluehorse]

...and today...

Breakfast: Porridge fingers made with oat milk and a little mashed banana; melon
Snack: A left over porridge finger!
Lunch: Sardine sandwich on white bread, carrot and cucumber sticks
Snack: A dried fig
Dinner: Yellow pepper drop scone, tinned peaches

 

[evasmum]

Thanks for that Bluehorse, I think I'll give it a shot, like you say it's hard to find spreads and fillings that are high in protein and fat other than dairy.

Today:

Breakfast - prune porridge made with kara coconut milk

Lunch - avocado filled pita and mango sliced

Dinner - sirloin steak, homemade potato wedges, grilled tomato, some orange juice ice lolly.

We've only just started weaning but LO has been getting to know food (though not eating it) for a couple of weeks. Today she was on OH's lap and he had a corn cob from the barbecue in his hand. She leaned forward, grabbed it and slurped away happily for a good 20 minutes. Hilarious! x

 

[mistyscott]

After a carbs heavy day, then a day of not eating much, today ds had:

B - toast with butter and jam, half custard pot
L - one finger of egg mayonnaise sandwich, baby corn
D - red lentil and vegetable curry (BLW cookbook of course ) loved this! Ate okra (first for all of us) cauliflower, broccoli, half new potato, courgette strip, daddy's homemade coriander flatbreads and the sauce

Almost bought weetabix in the shops today....but still can't quite face the clean up!

We started BLW about 6 months ago but we're just getting into the swing of it now. I'm finding the cooking quite difficult as I never used to bother much before, I'd just eat a bit of toast for lunch if I couldn't be bothered to cook. It's hard trying to think of different things to have.

Today LO had
B - banana
L - lentil soup, cucumber sticks, left over chick pea patties (from BLW cook book)
D - fish, mushed up peas, peach

Breakfast: Porridge fingers made with oat milk and a little mashed banana; melon
Snack: A left over porridge finger!
Lunch: Sardine sandwich on white bread, carrot and cucumber sticks
Snack: A dried fig
Dinner: Yellow pepper drop scone, tinned peaches

Do you have a recipe for the yellow pepper drop scones - they sound yummy!

We have been BLW for 2 months now and this thread is so helpful, I just want to thank everyone who has posted here for the ideas and inspiration! And to share:

Yesterday:

B: Yogurt with strawberries
L: Chicken cacciatore
The recipe is from the BBC website: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4251/chicken-cacciatore

and I added mushroom halves when frying the onion and garlic.
I also served it with orzo pasta boiled to oblivion - LO struggles if the pasta is not supersoft.
The tomato sauce makes it all very messy but LO loved it.
D: Toast with philadelphia

Today:
B: Apricots
L: Grilled courgette strips served with garlic and dill yogurt dip.
Baby has a funny garlic smell about him now. I love the look at my MIL's face every time she gets a sniff at him

Yesterday we had:

B -Weetabix & Banana
L - Picnic of Dairylea sandwiches, rice cakes, banana and the flake from my ice cream
D - Tunamayo pasta with cheese sandwiches and cucumber & fruit pot with yogurt coated raisins.

 

[Loozle]

Breakfast: rice crispies, nectarine & strawberries
Lunch: jacket potato with cheese and salad, yoghurt
