BLW - what did your LO eat today?

[shambaby]

I'm loving reading all the meals! It gives me a good idea of what I'm going to do when LO starts weaning! (I'm thinking waaaaaaaaaaay ahead here, lol!) Are there any good books that you ladies recommend or should I just play it by ear?

hello

i have the blw cookbook by gill rapley, which is really good - the first bit explains the principles and theory behind blw, plus what kinds of food to start when, and the rest is recipes. i have made quite a few, and have been really pleased - the main meals all serve 2 adults and 1 baby, and the lunches are for 1 adult and 1 baby, so they are just right. and yummy. i particularly liked the tomato chicken and the pork burgers.

Maria just had prunes, cucumber and pre-loaded spoons of porridge for a late breakfast (as she was grumpy at her normal breakfast time) and then the water that I used to soak the prunes for a drink (which she mostly poured on the floor). Big mess afterwards!

What suggestions do you have for a 6mth old? Noo has had most vegetables and fruits (which the skin around her mouth unfortunately reacts to). We're still early days so only on one meal per day but looking to introduce a second soon.

I'm thinking toast and fruit or yoghurt for breakfast and vegetables with perhaps chicken or fish for evening meal. Does this sound ok? How long can I keep this sort of thing up before she gets bored? (or more likely I do....)
