Breakfast... Mango Pear and Biscotti. (Can you tell I was having a lazy morning?)
Lunch at Grandmas... Mango Pear and Biscotti (sound familar)
Dinner .. fish fingers, capsicum broccoli and green beans. Ollie got stuck into everything even the fish! woo! Maybe because he was glad it wasn't the same as breakfast and lunch?
In February 2011, we started our (nearly) six month old son on "solid" food. Rather than going down the Plunket route of food out of a Watties jar, we opted for a baby led approach. Assisted by a university study, we set out on our baby led journey!

So I was looking at my tags, aka all the food Ollie has eaten/been offered, and I realised that the few days here and there that I've missed posting have meant a few things left out. So this post is purely to add a few tags :)
On the pineapple... Ollie tried that at a coffee group catch up. While it was too hard for him to chew and swallow, he really enjoyed sucking on it and gumming it. It was just a wedge, and he spent a bit of time chewing on the skin too. I bought a pineapple with the fruit and vege this week so we'll give it another go. I'm sure I read somewhere it is good to leave skin on things like pineapple, as it helps them learn which are the edible bits of food.

Breakfast.. porridge again! Made it super chunky again, seems to work best if I use half rice milk and half water. I didn't put grated apple in it this time, we were pushed for time. Ollie didn't seem to notice. We also had the end of our mango.. yum yum! Ollie really loves mango, and if it is nice and ripe, he can eat a fair bit.
Lunch was leftover meatballs and leftover cheese and lentil slice. And Feijoa! He really got into all of it and seemed to eat a fair bit! He liked the feijoa, and sucked out the juicy centre, and spat out the harder edge bit. He needed a bit of help to get it to his mouth though.
Stirfry for dinner. Ollie was so so tired (we really need to address his extreme tiredness at the end of the day! he won't have an afternoon nap, but struggles to make it to bedtime) but he still had a good go at his stirfry, particularly the beef!
All in all, a very successful food day!
