11month - eating question
Hi,
Finlay is just over 11 months and has never been a good eater, has never want purrees so ended up going down fingure food route but he only eats a few mouthfuls of things and most just gets spat out!
i know theres nothing wrong with him as he will happily much on snacks! he is obviously just VERY fussy!
At the mo he will eat small amounts of: baby porridge, toast, grapes, cheese strings, macaroni cheese
he will let me feed him those custard fruit pots, and fruit baby jars and yougurts.
as you can see he's not getting any veg... and no meat really may try a bite size amount of ham at a push! can anyone suggest anything???
ive tried all sorts, also just given him bits of our dinner, tried the 12 month baby food like the lasanga etc as he sees to prefer more proper food but he'll have one mouthful and thats it so i wasting a lot of money!
im trying not to stress about this, as i have in the past when he was young but now i think he's a healthy weight and he has 3 x bottles but soon i need to reduce that and then he needs more goodness from food!

Or try making a risotto - i always think that when i make that for my lo, the texture seems quite similar to macaroni cheese and it's great for hiding veg/meat in! It's also pretty cheap to make so not much waste.
I don't really know what else - ...what about a tortilla wrap spread with some veg puree with pieces of chicken/ham/gratec cheese in it?
Also have you tried him with any stronger flavours - like curry or chilli con carne? Some lo's love things like that.
Hope I've helped....sorry if I haven't!

hadn't thought about using some veg puree on things!!!
