New Mum’s Food Adventures

Excuse the boxes in the background as we are still unpacking and sorting after moving into our new home. Baby has been very fussy lately due to teething and catching a cold. So today he got to try his first boiled egg with some buttered toast. He ate all the yellow part and focused on the toast. Lately he hasn’t been enjoying toast but he is again. He doesn’t like crust now. So that’s new.

He is learning to run and pick himself up again. So his appetite has picked up which is great. I have found now that instead of feeding him it’s best to put the food in front of him and let him try it at his own pace and not force it. Most times he will try it. He didn’t like the egg white texture. Made him gag. But if it’s scrambled egg it’s a 50/50 chance that when it touches his tongue he gags. But he usually picks it up again to try again and ends up eating most of it.

So many things that are new to him he will eventually try and I love to watch his reactions. I will try updating more with other recipes. Tomorrow I might try a porridge involving almond butter.
