Feeding LO on Holiday
in Baby
Hi all
We are hoping to get a last minute holiday in a few weeks time... maybe the Canaries, or Cyprus.
What would you do with feeding a 10-month old abroad? I am worried he will catch tummy bugs.
Should we just feed him jars for the whole time? I feel bad doing that though - he is used to home-cooked food. Plus we like to use Ella's Kitchen or Plum Baby but they are small and don't fill him up as much now and so would cost a bomb!!!

We are going abroad in May and LO will be 9 months then and I was planning on finger foods at dinner and pouches of either plum or ella's kitchen at tea but like you say it will be costly
It will be interesting to here what others have done xx
Anyhoo - i would aim more towards the finger food route and if cooking for yourselves use lots of veggies and make sure the meat is cooked.
if eating out - a jar/pouch wont do any harm and neither will a small portion of your meal.
when we went to tenerife we saw lots of people with kids aged 1yr ish and they were letting the kids eat the native foods.
we found that the food places over there are so proud of their food and their high standards that most places were great (most - not all, there were prob some dodgy ones too)
the staff at the site should know the best places to go to for kids meals.
There are thousands of places in the lakes that do kiddie food although i realise your lo prob isnt on big meals yet
they will always warm baby food if you ask though.
Hope you have a great time up here, the weather at the moment is fantastic - clear blue skies and lovely warm days getting up to about 6-7degrees! (although we are south cumbria)

We'll be taking with us a few sachets/jars, some dry cereal and some baby snacks (biscuits, rice cakes etc). Whilst we're there we'll buy yoghurts, bread, fruit etc so we'll always have something for LO to snack on and then he'll have some of our food when we eat out. Most restaurants put bread on the table and he loves to munch on this so I know he's definitely not going to go hungry. I'll let him have plenty of veg and will let him have some meat as long as it's thoroughly cooked.
Most eateries are very accommodating for babies & toddlers. I remember my neice kept getting treats off the waiters like a choc ice after her meal so she loved eating out with us.

Hope you have a fantastic holiday!

I think im going to do the same, but was thinking of taking a few pouches of Ellas kitchen as he really likes them. But just as a side line.....will the pouches be ok in the suitcase?? Will they explode?!? Same with jars...would glass be ok in a suitcase?? Sorry if there silly questions, just worried me!! xx
