Being a mum of three, I am quite laid back when it comes to parenting and really encourage the girls to be their own little people and let them learn from their mistakes and let them win at them too!, But when it comes to weaning this time round , I am a little cautious now we are at the stage where choking occurs.
Nila loves her food, so much so she mostly inhales it! :) she can’t get enough of it and really gets stuck in , which does resort in a few chokes and gags along the way. I know it is a learning process and all babies choke and gag when learning how to chew but third time round and I am a nervous wreck!. I find myself saying chew and mimicking chewing, which of course Nila thinks is hilarious! :)
We’ve tried grated cheese and slightly mashed/ lumpy broccoli . She wasn’t to keen on the taste of the cheese but I will try her with it again.
she’s really been enjoying the organix sweet corn rings after her lunch and also the kiddylious wafers. I have been breaking the wafers into bit size portions and putting them on her high chair tray which encourages the pinch grasp and the concentration on her little face is super cute !.
She loves the Piccolo apricot and apple pouches, she even holds it herself and sucks! which melts my heart, stop growing up baby girl!.
She has water in her tommee tippee 7+ cup which is a no spill one - I can’t for the life of me remember what it is called, but we have tried a few and this one she is getting on really well with and doesn’t end up looking like a drowned rat after meal times ...
She is still having her 4 bottles a day of 7oz as I feel it is very important to keep the milk as Nila’s main source of food until she is 1 , and she bloody loves her bottles of milk! :)
My daughter used to love those Organix sweetcorn rings too. It sounds like she is doing great!
ReplyDeleteIt is so lovely that she is enjoying her food. My three all loved banana, and I found banana and avocado a favourite too
ReplyDeleteMy two loved bananas, people were always saying to me have you tried this jar or this one but for me I just blended or mashed whatever we where having and they loved it
ReplyDeleteAw bless she looks like she is really enjoying it! I did baby led weaning with my little girl and she really enjoyed all the different flavours. The pouches are such a great idea especially when out and about!
ReplyDeleteI had a love/hate relationship with the weaning stage with my boys; I loved that they were trying new things and exploring new foods, but I hated the mess! I will say that we did purees/pouches with my oldest and baby led weaning with my youngest, and the youngest is definitely the better eater of the two of them - definitely some merit to that method!
ReplyDeleteThe weaning is fun in a way. My kids enjoyed the stage.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like she is taking to weaning well, I was so much more relaxed with my 3rd too xx
ReplyDeleteAww I loved the weaning stage. Not for the mess but to enjoy watching my son discovering new tastes as the initial try was always accompanied by a scrunched up face. Then finding the foods we could both enjoy together x
ReplyDeleteAww what a lovely age when they start to feed themselves :) I remember these days well.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Nila is loving this stage. I think bananas are loved by many babies.
ReplyDeleteShe looks like she is enjoying it, I love this stage
ReplyDeleteOh I loved getting them to try new food, it was so exciting to watch their faces! She looks very happy
