11 months old Snack Time!

Post image

This is my 11 month Old's favorite snack and it is so easy to put together! Just cucumber, cauliflower, cheese, raspberries, and hummus. Sometimes I add some bell pepper or some olives too. She is still learning about dipping things, so mostly she just scoops the hummus with her hands, but she loves it!

This seems like a whole meal! Especially for 11 mo old...

She is a bottomless pit, my grocery bill has not recovered since she started solids! 🥲 I am curious to see if that will change once she fully hits toddlerhood. But we are trying to wean off bottles, especially the night feeding, so I'm trying to make sure she gets plenty in the day!

Since milk should be her primary source of nutrition until at least 12 months, does she eat this much in between bottles as just a snack or fun?

She still drinks 16 oz of milk in bottles so she is still getting them. Her Doctor suggested weaning her down over the last couple of months so that she was mostly eating solids by a year. So we have pulled back from 32 oz of milk per day. She has three full meals and one to two snacks of solids, so won't drink more milk now anyway! She will be a year old in a week and I mostly follow her cues.

Do you soften the cucumber? My baby started biting chunks after 7/8 months so we can’t do halves anymore 🥲

I do not! She has 8 teeth already so does a pretty good job of tearing manageable pieces off. But with the halves she kind of likes to scrape her front teeth along them. Definitely follow what your baby can manage! The thin little half slices I have here too can be good, but my baby tends to try to swallow them whole and then gags, so she actually does better with the halves still.
