BLW - what did your LO eat today?

[Shiv]

today Sophia had
b: bowl of bitesize shredded wheat, a pear, strawberries, raspberries
s: 2 breadsticks
l: cheese and ham quessidilla, raisins, cucumber
s: breadstick and spelt bake thing
d: smoked salmon pasta with creme fraiche mushrooms and spinach

I think she is having a growth spurt as she has eaten tons today and has even been asking for more breastfeeds than normal!

Mum2bClaire - Jacob also loves to put food into his doidy, pick it out again and put it in again etc etc lol

Jacob hates peas, he picks them up, pops it in his mouth then spits it out in disgust, he does this with carrots too unless they are mixed in something like casserole, soup or pasta and then he actually goes straight for the carrots before anything, strange boy!

 

[Mary Jo]

really not a good day today.

b: a mix of plain organic unsweetened puffed rice and Cheerios (about half and half, he ate most of it) with milk, most of a banana
s: one small chunk of apple, one small slice of banana, one satsuma piece and a shortcake biscuit (at toddler group, it was all he could grab from the plate as it went past)
l: about 2/3 of a piece of tuna and creme fraiche tortilla wrap (his piece was 1/4 of the whole thing, which was a large wrap and a tin of tuna), grapes
d: half a small potato wedge, a slice of tomato, grapes, 2 tinned pineapple rings, an Organix gingerbread man. rejected home-made beef burger and another banana

I feel bad about his lack of decent food today, he has not been hungry for anything other than fruit really since we got home. I feel I should have brought a proper snack with us today but there wasn't anywhere for him to eat it, then he fell asleep a few minutes after I put him in the pushchair (12.15pm) and he slept all the way home, let me put him to bed and didn't wake till 4pm. So he missed lunch, really, I gave him food at 4pm but he didn't want much. and then he slept again from 5.15pm till 6.30pm. I really thought he'd be so hungry for dinner but he cried and cried till the pineapple came out. grrrrr. guess he ate a lot yesterday, so I am not worried but I do feel bad.

We have days like that sometimes MJ frustrating isn't it!

Today was a bit weird timings wise

B (8:45): shreddies, half a slice malt loaf
S/mini lunch 1 (11:30): slice of slightly stale bread (meant for the ducks but hey-ho!), humzinger, dates (about 6)
L 12:45 - refused coz too tired so reoffered after nap
S/mini lunch 2 (14:20) - 1.5 slices of toast with tinned sardine/cream cheese spread, kiddylicious dried banana crisp things
D (17:30) - moussaka, shredded cabbage, broad beans and peas, home made carrot cupcake topped with plain creme fraiche
S (18:45) humzinger, half an irganix gingerbread man


G loves peas he likes picking up one by one and popping in his mouth - if he's not really hungry ocassionally he will fill his mouth with them then pop them out one by one, then "reload" his mouth!

Today:

B: About half a slice of toast with dairylea
S: Yoghurt (@ creche)
L: Chicken strips in a coconut-curry sauce and rice (@ creche) - apparently he nearly ate the bowl too, I don't think it was enough food for him so I might give him a bigger brekkie in the morning...
S: Smoothie, quarter of a banana
D: Fajitas - chicken strips, pepper slices, mushrooms on their own and then 2 mini wraps with guacamole & grated cheese.

Bit of a funny day fruit & veg wise, but this week is up the left already with the creche, and then this evening he bumped his head so I didn't want to push too much food in case he wasn't feeling the best.

 

[Miss_Bump]

Only a suck of a banana today and Evie wasnt too impressed I thought she would love it as it was quite sweet.

Having green beens with dinner tonight so let's see how she gets on
xx

 

[Miss_Bump]

Oh and a question.... What's a humzinger?? I searched on google and only found bird feed lol

 

[Mum2b_Claire]

They're sticks of dried fruit with no sugar / crap added. Can be found in most supermarkets I think. I so wanted Ruby to like them!

 

[jenny82]

C has never been fussed on Humzingers, although I really wanted him to be too!

Today:

B: Half a piece of toast, half a yoghurt
L: Macaroni & cheese (I selected this instead of fish pie at the creche as I figured he coudl feed himself - but they ended up feeding him it on a PL spoon???)
S: Banana sandwich and an Organix biscuit
D: Chicken & brocolli pasta bake, carrots & parsnip

I don't think they give him enough at lunch in the creche, as this is the 3rd day in a row they say he has 'ate the bowl'. I want them to offer him more, but when I suggested it today, they said they would offer dessert (fruit etc) after his nap (Friday is his big day so he'll get it then). Still, I'd have thought they would offer him more main then?

 

[Mary Jo]

Adam's had lots of fruit today...

b: a banana, puffed rice & milk, most of a peach
l: half a large wrap with peanut butter & spinach, small piece of my half of the wrap, which had Philadelphia, Marmite & spinach, 1.5 tinned pineapple rings, a few grapes, an Organix gingerbread man. rejected a home-made beefburger (left over from last night, worth a try but gah), red pepper strips (he bit each strip into small pieces and spat them out one by one), prunes
s: 2 mini ricecakes, a banana, grapes, a spelt breadstick
d: 2 pineapple rings, 2 black olives, slice of cucumber, a slice of tomato, grapes, 3 prunes, plain yogurt and a spelt breadstick. rejected (without tasting) home-made mini quiche (again).

someone's not keen on Mummy's home-made food again.

he is a great fan of Humzingers, though, he's had all 10 varieties and indiscriminately stuffs them in!

thanks Shiv I need to make more drop scones, and try your spinach & cheese muffins, I think, sure he'd love those. I keep meaning to post in the LC thread and then it's like I have loads to catch up on and just don't. but I am practically on holiday this week (ie working today, tomorrow & Sat ) so should find the time.
