Weaning Journey!

We started with purees etc, she loves her porridge in the morning for breakfast but I've decided to try and do BLW instead now I've looked into it more, we've done most allergens apart from nuts, fish and seeds, the other day she had scrambled egg,last night she had brocoli and pasta and tonight she had sausage mash and veg, so I'm just going to give her bits of what we have now I've done most allergens, I'm going to try nuts and shellfish in the next week tho xx

I took the babycook with my first one and will try to use it even with my second. But I always started with fruit, apple , banana, pear... always once a time .
Than veggies like carrots, potatoes ... she will be 6 months end of this month so no rush 😁

can I ask the pasta, what type did you use and did you cut it up? Mash? Or just offered whole?

I love a good spreadsheet! Cannot find a decent chart as they include foods we'd never have in the house or someone is allergic to, so gonna sit down and make my own tomorrow!
Thanks for the jnspo x

@Becky hey I used rigatoni pasta as its big enough for baby to hold, with BLW everything is advised to be left in finger length pieces for baby to hold and chew on, so I left it whole xxx

@Becky there's BLW page on Facebook thats really helpful xx

thank you. Will check it out. Our little one isn't grabbing at the food just yet but just gritting ideas for when he does x

yeah I keep seeing a lot on tik tok etc but feel like they don’t have everything we would feed? So just thought I’d do my own 😂 I just looked up list of vegetables online and chose all the ones we have in supermarkets here and that weren’t too outlandish 😂 like I’ve added artichoke but honestly I’ve never cooked or eaten it 😂 how is everyone doing onion? On its own or mixing it with other food such as meat? I feel a bit strange just given her some chunks of onion or even onion purée

@Becky no worries! They've really helped me on that page, even if baby doesn't eat any it's fine it's getting them used to the textures and things xxx

maybe I'll pop some pasta on his tray and just see what he does then. Thank you. X

so true! And yeah we tend to find alot of the veggies aren't your mainstream ones either which is pointless for us.
For onion I'd probably add to like a tomato sauce at some point like bolognese?

@Becky no worries, that's the best way to let them explore, make sure you only do 1 allergen food within 24hrs tho as you need to look out for the allergies x

Wow this is so organised! Were literally winging it!

thank you :) thinks it’s only cos I’ve been doing months of late night breastfeeding so just been reading loads 😂

Amazing chart, good idea! Thanks for sharing 😊 My boy will be 6m end of the month and I am thinking to start with broccoli 🥦

@Kendal are you going to do a chart for dairy, meat, fish, nuts, etc, too?
