Yesterday

B - toast and sugar free jam (aye half a finger)
L - tuna croquettes (ate half of one) baby carrot (2 mouthfuls) sucked on some green beans, gnawed at an apple for a bit
D - leftover chicken (few nibbles) roasted courgette and peppers (couple of bites)
Snack - organix carrot puff - ate the whole thing! (or at least I think she did, I was washing dishes and when I turned back to her it was all gone. She is pretty good at hiding food though so I'm still expecting to find a soggy piece somewhere!)

Today
B - porridge (3 baby spoonfuls)
L - Eggy bread (1 finger) mango (as usual squashed it up but didn't eat any)
D - Pasta and hm pesto (ate maybe 1 piece of fusili pasta)

Bit dispiriting posting here when ds eats so little - but I'll do it in case it reassures other mummies of nibblers

B - 3 oatibix bites (ate maybe 1?), half stick of pineapple
L - half slice bread with butter, 2 sticks cucumber, 1 stick cheddar - hard to say how much he actually swallowed though as he cried at the end and most fell out his mouth!
D - approx 1 tbsp hm fish pie (topped with sweet potato and cheese), 1 & 1/2 broccoli trees, 2-3 large tsps Greek yoghurt and fruit purée

And this is a good eating day for him...

My LO is generally a good eater but he still struggles with his milk (due to reflux we think)... which stresses me out too. He obviously needed the food due to very slow weight gain over the first six months. He's been doing better with his weight since weaning has become established but doing blw has given me the confidence to know he's taking what he needs (no more or less).

Yesterday...

Breakfast: Porridge fingers with sugar free blueberry jam (6 fingers!); 1/2 tinned pear
Lunch: Scrambled egg with mushrooms (2 good handfuls); 2(?) fingers of wholemeal toast; most of a cherry soya yogurt
Snack: 1/2 df hm banana muffin
Dinner: Potato, spinach and pea curry with rice (maybe 3 or 4 tbsps?), chapatti (a little bit); 1/2 a small onion bharjee

 

[bluehorse]

...and today

Breakfast: 1 kiwi; Shreddies soaked in oat milk (3 of my handfuls)
Lunch: Fruit pot and ground almonds spread onto a slice of wholemeal toast; a pear and the rest of the fruit pot (via pre-loaded spoon!)
Dinner: Cod fillet, bubble and squeak and low sugar/salt baked beans; another kiwi with Freedom

Thanks bluehorse I think demand boob feeding has taught me to trust him to know what he needs and he's definitely eating more solids as time goes on.

How do you give jam with your porridge fingers?? Ds has gone off these slightly and jam sounds a bit more exciting!

I spread a little jam on just over half way through cooking... If you put it on before cooking, the jam stays hot for a while. If you put it on at the end, it's messier. I've done the same with blackstrap molasses too. I've also mixed ground almonds or a little mashed banana or a few chopped sultanas into the original mix. They are quite boring on their own I think.

Today...

Breakfast: 2 Wheaty biscuits with breastmilk; tinned grapefruit segments (about 4)
Lunch: df pesto pasta (about 7 pieces), 1/2 a cucumber stick, 1/4 tomato (seeds and a bit of flesh); most of a cherry soya yogurt
Snack: 3 Organix tomato wheels
Dinner: Vegetarian toad-in-the-hole (most of the sausage, none of the batter!), cauliflower (a nibble), spinach and brocolli (refused); banana (most of it)

 

[mistyscott]

Well, we've had a bit of a day of most food coming back out his mouth... *sigh*

B - 2 oatibix bites, finger of banana
L - 4 rounds of carrot, 2 broccoli florets, 1 cauliflower floret, handful mash, Half adult pot yoghurt
D - rice (ignored), beef stir fry (sucked), 1 broccoli floret, 2 sticks cucumber, 2 fingers pineapple, 1/3 custard pot

Much of lunch and dinner came out amidst screams dh is feeling very disheartened by this backwards step and mentioned purée - but I said we've trusted him to know what he needs before. He's also got three or more top teeth coming.... We plod on.

I'm sure it wasn't due to your lunch out. Rowan suffers from reflux too, although it is the silent kind. He's had days recently when he's barely suffered at all... then a couple of days in a row when he's been awful.


Today Rowan had a bit more of an appetite

Breakfast: 10 or 11 Blueberry Wheats plus a couple of handfuls of Shreddies soaked in oat milk; most of a kiwi
Lunch: Sugar free raspberry jam sandwich on wholemeal bread (1/4); 1/2 a pear
Snack: 4 Organix carrot puffs
Dinner: Creamy smoked mackerel and potato bake (maybe 3 tbsp); 1/4 kiwi

Dinner: poached chicken spring stew, herb bread, dairy free lemon and blueberry muffin (only fair she has her version of our polenta!)

 

[august_babe]

Thanks bluehorse but we have had a pretty full on reaction with explosive slimy poo, gassiness and she's still quite uncomfortable now so i definitely think it was something we ate. I thought I was being really careful so I'm kicking myself x

So yesterday:
B - a little porridge with ebm, nibble of some toast, a really juicy pear peeled and given whole.
L - almond butter on rice cake, chew of some courgette, tomato, grapes and an an organic sweet corn hoop. Then had most of a mango and banana fruit pouch.
T - a few pieces of tuna pasta with garlic ciabatta. Custard made with almond milk and the rest of the fruit pouch stirred through - had a couple of spoons of this.
