Stupid question - how would you cook if you don’t have a stove or oven?

Just feed him what you feed yourself

@Andreia he has been eating baby food like what you buy in the store but now he wants table food. I've given him mashed potatoes, and other mushy table food. But right now my daughter is in nicu so I'm in a hotel near the hospital and only have a microwave so don't know other foods to give him

@Alessandra unfortunately right now it's microwaveable food like tv dinners, microwaveable pizza, hot pockets. In a hotel while daughter is in nicu

@Asia microwave, and shelf food.

Pasta is a good option and you can cook it in the microwave. My nan used to cook it like that. I found fusilli the easiest for my little boy to eat or you can get baby pasta. To start with I overcooked pasta to make it softer. Go 8 minutes in the micro, mix and try it and then go from there

Ideally you want to steer away from ready packaged adult food due to added salt and sugar. Do you have a kettle? You can make boiled eggs using a kettle or get them ready from the grocery store. You can also make some oatmeal either in hot water or sitting it in a fridge overnight if you have a fridge. Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese and fruits are also good options. You can get fresh plain rotisserie chicken from a grocery store and give them the meat inside as it's mostly seasoned from the outside. Toasted (optional) toast And some mashed avocado also with some fruits or cut up cucumber sticks. Hope your daughter makes a speedy recovery too!

My sons were eating the no added salt version of all of my meals by 6 months old, just make him cut veggies with hummus, sandwiches, little fruit plates etc and he will love it :)

Also found cous cous great when in a hotel! Just put in a bowl / cup, add water just to cover the top and put a plate over to let it steam. Then it’s ready in 5 mins and I’d just add a bit of jar tomato sauce

Why don’t u get some of those spaghetti os my son loves them lol just u eat the meat balls lol ,or they sell some that are like chicken and rice that should be good my baby lwhen it comes to food lol he gaggs cause he eats fast but l he doesn’t mind these cause they are so soft
