Feeding your baby BLW style

Ja nee kyk, jy het rede om bekommerd te wees oor allergies. Eier, melk en peanuts sal seker die dinge moet wees waarvoor jy die meeste moet oppas. Ek hoop regtig vir jou part dat wheat okay is want dis 'n moeilik ding om uit te sny!

haha Marijke..my klein vraatjie sal die vienna verorber as sy die kans kry, haha

Ek dink ek sal maar wag met eiers tot bietjie later. Ekself kan op die oomblik glad nie eiers eet nie, dit laat my maag so pyn dit voel asof ek doodgaan. Vir wat ek ook omtrent al die allergiee in die wereld moet he sal ek nie verstaan nie!!!!

Marilu, I went out last Saturday (to work ) and hubby looked after B. When I came home he had made them scrambled eggs with viennas - he just cut it up in little round wheels (if you understand, just chop chop length wise)

I didn't say anything about it but I thought exactly the same. How could he?! But in my opinion she isn't going to eat the whole vienna, or even half - mine won't, perhaps M will. But once a week can't do that much harm.

You can try a few small slices of vienna, but balance it out with healthy fruit and veg!

Marijke, wanted to ask you. Manlief also suggested last night that we give Mignione viennas, and I obviously freaked being the paranoid mom I am..isn't there too much salt in there? Or should I just giver her small pieces at a time and concentrate on the veggies?

Bahia, we have some strong-willed babies in the July group hey!

Have you tried pasta, any kind will do but B loves her multi coloured screw pastas and usually eats the green ones first. You should perhaps also give meat a try. I don't know if she'd be able to really 'eat' it but she'd get what she needs from meat by just sucking on it. If you don't have allergies in your family I don't really see the need to wait with scrambled eggs, just make it so that there are a few 'big' pieces which she can hold (if you eat that, I know our cultures differ) Cheese perhaps only once or twice a week, other things you can give once or twice a week is sausages, baked beans, ham and bacon (I doubt whether the last two will be for you but I added it anyway )

You could also add cucumber and tomatoes (the cute cherry ones, just cut it in half so she can bite it) potatoes and rice. I know the smaller things can seem impossible for them to pick up but they learn only when its given to them to try. For breakfast you can give any type of cereal (like otees or weetbix) that doesn't have added sugar, honey or chocolate. But try and stay away from 'high fibre'

Furthermore anything you eat will be fine to give her to try (except in the case of allergies) she can just reject it or not be able to pick it up. As long as you have a healthy balanced meal then you can just dish her up her own plate

hi marikje... I have posted before on the topic of blw...like ur bianca my nuriya refuses to eat from a spoon... she also doesnt like pureed foods... she thinks she is a big girl and wants to eat on her own... She is still breastfed. Need some ideas of what else I can give her that is easy to hold in her hand... help pls

I mostly leave the peels on as I find it gives her grip...her fav foods thus far are peaches and plums... I have given her pumpkin, squash, butternut, mangoes, avo, banana(she finds it too mushy though), marie biscuits, I havent given her chicken yet nor meat, cheese or yoghurt.

Any ideas?

Thanx, Bahia
