question about food intake
hi girls
i started wade on baby rice on the 1st jan as that was when he was 5months and think he was getting a bit bored with just milk.
anyway i give him it just once a day when do i start to give him like lunch, dinner. as well?
and i'm never sure how much to give him to what food should i stay away from at 1st? i want to try him on lots different things but only stuff that i make.
any help would be good thanks

The first meal after breakfast I gave my lo was dinner. I started with Sweet Potato, carrots, califlour and brocoli. Now I mix all different things together so its more tasty. I know some mums have got one vegatable and tried their lo's on it for a whole week then changed to another one, so maybe you could do that?
I have an Annabell Karmel book also and it is easy to follow and has great ideas.

i started weaning at 4 months tho.
trying them on lots of different flavours is a good idea, i tend to try any new foods at lunch time so if cameron was to have a reaction it would present itself in the day.
i wouldnt give fish until 6 months, or egg, gluten should also be avoided until 6 months apparently. but cameron had ready break and weetabix at 5 1/2 months. main thing is by 6 months they need to be having plenty dairy, cheese, red meat and other foods containing iron as this is when their iron stores from birth start runing low.
he's now 6 1/2 months and has pretty much everything i offer, we're just moving onto lumps and finger foods too. i love the little look on his face when he tastes something new and realises its nice.

cam loves to taste new things, he has a mix of fresh and jars and accepts them both.
im sure wade will do brilliantly. that annabel karmel baby and toddler meal planner is def worth a look though, i couldnt be without it! but if i make things for us like shepherds pie i just do the same for cam and take his portion out before i add salt...or wine!
