Lunch times
Hi ladies,
We are going away the week after next (woohoo, off to sunny yorkshire!!!) and Dylan is currently having a hot meal at lunch and also at tea time. I really want to get him to eat a picnic lunch eg sandwiches to save all the faffing about with heating meals when out and about.
He is really good with most finger foods (loves cheese, organix crisps, breadsticks etc) but with sandwiches he just sucks at and mushes them up in his hands and throws them. Had anyone got any tips to encourage him to get sandwiches?
Any ideas ladies? (thought Smithyswife might have some tips with being an expert BLW'er!!!)

sorry can't help but I'd be interested to know if there was a solution. DD refuses ready made crap (don't blame her haha!!) but it causes a problem when we go out for the day. I'm contemplating making sandwiches up for her but a) they won't get eaten, only bits sucked lol and b) it'll cause a heck of a mess!!!!

Although when we have a picnic I don't take sandwiches - just finger foods ...
I've tried bagels to no avail! I've been putting soft cheese on them and yesterday I tried jam in the hope it would appeal to his sweet tooth! I tried popping little bits of sandwich into his mouth yesterday and I had some success so will keep perservering with this. He has such a massive appetite and just seems to keep on eating but I will try today just a sanwich at lunch time and see how it goes.
Thanks for your help

crisps and fruit if he's still hungry after his sandwich x
oh and crisps- quavers! they are the best crisps for little ones and they LOVE them!
on the sandwiches front.. what about arranging them in a funny face picture on the plate? i have seen some kids tuck right in when they see the food is fun!
