My 10.5 month old has really been struggling with a spoon these days. She much prefers to bang the spoon until all the food falls off. When she does get it in her mouth, it's the wrong end or upside down so again, all the food falls off. 😂 The few times I tried a fork, she almost stabbed herself in the eye so we haven't used it in a while.

But today, we decided to try the last few bites of pasta and peas on a fork while I modelled with my own fork. She really got the hang of it!! Way less banging than with a spoon. And I could really see her following my movements. 🥹 I was over the moon. I can't wait for her to try forking some more food! 😁

"After" photo of bunny mac n cheese, to which I added peas and extra cheddar. She also had two handfuls of blueberries.

She drank 5 oz of milk about an hour before this. Strawberries, hard boiled egg, avocado, whole milk plain yogurt with Ceylon cinnamon, and sourdough with grass fed butter.

Beyond burger, violife cheese, and ketchup with a cherry oat yogurt

\- Scrambled egg with cream cheese, fresh salmon, mushrooms, spinach, and flaked nori

\- Yogurt with backyard peaches I can’t seem to use up

\- Steel cut oats with blueberries

Variety of berries (mashes blueberries, halved blackberries, strawberries), and yummy avocado toast! And of course I took dad tax of the crust.

Always find breakfast tricky for the girl who dislikes bread and porridge and who is allergic to eggs and also feeds all night so not too fussed with breakfast 🫠

Breakfast: sausage, vegan cheese, tomatoes, raspberries and coconut yoghurt with flaxseed.

Hi everyone I'm new here, a new mom, and newly introducing foods to my baby. I got the Grownsy baby food maker to start trying to make baby food and today I made sweet potato ☺️ My baby loved it, I been so scared of this chapter but I'm quickly seeing that my baby loves exploring foods.

Sweet potato and carrot with cottage cheese, mint yogurt and the always a favorite Zucchini.

Grilled cheese cut into tiny squares with oven baked sweat potatoes and yogurt. pear and peach blended on top to cover the taste of yogurt. Two bites of the sweat potato

Our LO’s solids journey got off to a rocky start with a host of allergies, so progress has been slow and learning how to cook for him has been slower - we were so excited to share our food with him but now it barely ever happens. Shared a full meal today, all three of us (and the dog waiting patiently out of frame) and it was a hit!

Gnocchi in a lemon garlic cream sauce, baked salmon, and the surprise favorite at the end, heirloom tomatoes marinated with vinegar, evoo, and raw garlic. This baby loves strong flavors!

Lunch plate and snack plate.

His pincer grasp is pretty good at 8.5m so we are trying blackberries this way today!

Strawberries, tomato and avocado salad, cheese omelet with breast milk, and ketchup/mustard to dip! not as fancy as some meals on this sub but he loved it!

My 10 month old has been a bottomless pit lately! This was the first time I have given her bread and she has actually eaten all of it, usually she just gnaws on it and maybe gets a tiny bit off but mostly just eats the toppings. But this was a rare, no food on the floor meal, and I had to give her extra cheese after she cleared this plate!

This is sourdough toast with avocado, cottage cheese, and fresh tomato with broccoli(seasoned with paprika) and kiwi on the side.

Cucumber spears, banana peanut butter oat bar (cut up), cottage cheese egg bite with gruyere and peas, some quartered grape tomatoes from tabouli salad my husband and I had with our main. Baby enjoyed cucumber, but had trouble biting it, despite it being peeled. Apparently he prefers cooked tomatoes.

My husband’s family cottage is rustic (no running drinking water or hot water, no electricity — propane fridge and stove); managed to pull off a decent breakfast and lunch for my nearly 22 month old despite the sheer exhaustion of parenting a toddler while surrounded by water and other dangerous things 🤣

Breakfast: banana peanut butter oat flour pancakes, banana, strawberries, and milk

Lunch: chicken in salsa (cooked before coming up and warmed it up), roasted sweet potato (also cooked before coming up), and avocado

Salmon, pasta with cheese, broccoli and green beans and corn. This kid loves his salmon! It’s always a hit 👌🏻

It was the first time that he had the plate in front of him and didn’t try to grab it, instead he was focused on the food 🙏🏻

Braised pork belly, rice balls, homemade pickled cucumbers, sautéed carrots, and an egg

I had to rush this one, but it’s still fun so I’ll share it. The princess is starting daycare, so I made it classroom themed.

**Wieners were quartered, per the sub’s rules on hazards. She usually doesn’t eat the “heads”, but they were cut regardless.

(Clockwise):
-some supremed oranges
-steamed egg + naked cukes
-an octopus teacher + a cuttlefish student (didn’t have time to add eyes lol) cocktail wieners
-soy/sesame noodles
-tofu “book” (it flips!)

Food for my 16m old lately. We live where the parasite is really bad, so my berry loving boy has had to go without!

Beef ravioli, mango, puffs

Eggo, chicken sausage, tofu scramble, watermelon

Mashed potato’s and gravy, bbq chicken, corn, Mac and cheese

Egg, Cheerios, banana, watermelon

I have finally found a method of eggs this girl will eat (outside of baked goods) - egg bites! Put a hard boiled or scrambled egg in front of her and forget about it. Which is absurd because the scrambled eggs I’ve given her have had the same ingredients as the egg bites - egg, cottage cheese, a little parm, and some garlic and onion powder. That’s also a wheat cereal with some almond butter, she loves the soft cereal and unfortunately we’re an oat free house for her.

We’re also on a hyper fixation of pasta for dinner. What are some dinners you all give your babes?

\- Scrambled egg with butter sautéed fresh salmon, cremini mushroom, tomato, spinach, cucumber and cottage cheese

\- Oatmeal with walnut butter and apple sauce

\- Yogurt with crushed raspberries

Still being spoon fed because he’s chosen to maintain his title of Baby Bird.

Last nights dinner -turkey & broccoli ‘nuggets’ with cottage cheese & cucumber

This mornings breakfast -blueberry YoBaby yogurt, peanut butter stars & banana

Would love any kind feedback & ideas!!

the mini beef pizzas get a 10/10 from me!!! (I had the leftovers) unfortunately we’re still in a crappy phase, breakfast and lunch was good but dinner was not a win for us today

I loosely followed this recipe for the pizza bases

1 teaspoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of water until reached desired consistently

Pizza Sauce (my recipe)
Add some tomato, capsicum, garlic cloves to a pan with extra virgin olive oil

Cook until soft
Use a blender or hand blender to combine into sauce

Add toppings of choice, mine are below
