Week 2: getting more adventurous

For breakfast this week I gave Baby M the exciting tastes of eggy bread (just bread and egg, lightly fried), banana, clementine and porridge.  The porridge was made with organic jumbo oats and water (more about this in the post Baby Meets Porridge).

The biggest surprise was the banana: as it was perfectly ripe it mushed and was easy to eat, and smear absolutely everywhere.  Oh and in case you didn't know banana stains:  a lovely brown stain.  

As Baby M still isn't actually swallowing all that much I shared a couple of "naughty" meals.  Naughty meal 1 was a taste of junk food: an ikea meatball and a bit of hot dog and roll.  She was no more interested in these than healthier food I had given to her previously.  I know junk, processed food isn't great for anyone, but I balanced out the salt for the rest of the day and very occasional bad food hopefully wont do any of us any harm.

Naughty meal 2 was a cream cheese bagel with some smoked salmon.  Smoked salmon is high in salt so again not something little people should eat regularly.  There's nothing wrong with some bagel and cream cheese though.

A little taste of junk food (a one off)

Roast parnip and sweet potato

Banana.  Surprisingly messier than porridge

Bagel, cream cheese and a tiny bit of smoked salmon
First go with a bowl.  Suction didn't work too well

Porridge.  Went down well until she turned the bowl upside down over the edge


A new day, a new bowl.  This one stayed suck
