Food at 8 and a half months

I know a lot of parents wonder what other mums feed their babies, so I thought I’d share with everyone what I like to give Maysie. At the moment she is teething so she isn’t eating as much and everyday is different. Here are some things I usually offer her. She has three meals a day and I may offer her a snack in between. 

Breakfast: Cow & Gate multigrain banana porridge, Heinz blueberry porridge or Ella’s kitchen mango or banana yoghurt pot

  
Lunch: A Heinz powder dinner (one or two bowls) a fruit custard pot or an Ella’s kitchen yogurt -see above pic for the yoghurt

  
  
Dinner: Boiled and mashed veg and chicken (any leftovers from previous meals I put in pots and freeze them) I use the tommee tippee blender. If I have run out of blended food or if I  am on the go I will give her an Ella’s kitchen dinner pouch. She then has a Hipp cocoa and vanilla dessert or a Heinz fruit pot and a Heinz cocoa biscotti (she has tried the other flavour biscottis but chocolate is her favourite by far 😋).

  
  
  

Snacks: What I offer her for snacks in between meals or for extra tasting and stimulation

  •  Chopped bannana or pear pieces
  • Chopped and boiled vegetable pieces
  • Boiled pasta drained (spaghetti is the best)
  • Toast with butter
  • Bread with a little Nutella 
  • Boiled runny egg with bread
  • Fruit purée in boiled water to make a juice
  • Fresh lemon
  • Ripe avocado pieces 
  • Bickiepegs
