BLW - what did your LO eat today?

[shambaby]

pestle and mortar?

ah yes, obvious really, i suppose don't have one, though.

 

[minkymoo]

B - missed
L - houmous on toast (this is ok isn't it?) and half a plum. She actually ate loads of both but usually dismisses toast with butter or jam....
D - will be mixed steamed veg and maybe a bit of scrambled egg followed with yoghurt.

Is it ok to use the whole egg for scrambling or just the yolk?

 

[Natsku]

Think its best to start with just the yolk as thats the least allergenic part of it plus its the part that has all the goodness anyway

 

[shambaby]

houmous is absolutely fine - and very nutritious, apparently - but if it's shop bought just keep an eye on the salt, as some of them are fairly high.

i have always used the whole egg - i think in the uk the advice is that it's ok so long as there isn't a high risk of allergies (family history etc).

today was a strange day, as hayden was at nursery for the morning, so i only had the teatime mess to clean up!!!

b (at nursery) - shreddies, toast

s (at nursery) - crackers with cheese spread

l (at nursery) - cottage pie, angel delight

s - tried him with some grapes, which he usually loves, but he just spat them out. did this yesterday - think maybe the grapes are not to his liking! gave him an ella's kitchen cookie, which he wolfed down, with some milk in a sippy cup (starting to think about weaning off bottles)

t - quiche, bread and butter, tomato, cucumber, pasta salad and a little couscous (regretted that when he started throwing it everywhere!), a pieces of banana topped with a peach yogurt, and some of my orange segments.

pretty sure he ate more than me today!!!

Thank you. Do you happen to know what the max daily salt/sodium intake is for babies? I know it should be zilch but that's not always possible.

She LOVED the houmous. I will try to make some homemade too tho.

She has baby eczema, and her father has adult so perhaps I'll just stick with the yolk for now....

 

[minkymoo]

Actually, I just found this incase it is useful for anyone else....

0 to 6 months: less than 1g per day
7 to 12 months: 1 g per day
1 to 3 years: 2g per day
Age 4 to 6: 3g per day
Age 7 to 10: 5g per day
Age 11 to 14: 6g per day

 

[Natsku]

I don't mind if Maria has some things that have salt in (like a bit of ham or some cheese) so long as the other food in the day has no salt so it all balances out.

 

[minkymoo]

that's how i usually work, it's mostly fruit and steamed veg here with the odd bit of cheese

 

[ShanandBoc]

B - Banana on toast
L - cheese stix, grapes, orange wedges and slice of ham
D - homemade tuna and salmon fishcakes

do you have the blw cookbook? the houmous recipe in there is easy if you have a food processor, and very yummy

today hayden had:

b - porridge triangles with blueberry fruit spread, a pear

l - cheese sandwich, cherry tomatoes, little bits of cucmber, peppers and grated carrot, ella's kitchen cookie

s - grapes

t - falafel, in a tomato and bean sauce (cheated and gave him an organix mighty meal, as we treated ourselves to a pizza!), pitta bread, a strawberry yogurt.

 

[minkymoo]

I do have the cookbook, yes. Perhaps I should try to read it at some point.....
