Intrepid Murmurings

Food Log
I have asked Lonnie to add another page to the blog as sort of a food log of sorts....so I can record what Emma eats. Not as an obsessive how much is she eating thing, heh, I promise, but more to remind myself of what she likes and dislikes, since I tend to forget and fall into ruts. Also, maybe it will be helpful for others who are thinking about doing Baby Led Weaning. We shall see. I may get bored of it, and will probably not remember to do it every day. I want to note that since Emma is now accepting food on a spoon, we are not doing BLW exclusively; she gets something by spoon at most of her meals. Some of her favorites are spoonable foods, so it seems silly not to give them to her!
Hopefully this will have its own page soon, but for today:
Breakfast Rice apricot congee "O" cereal: first time, and they were a hit! I got the "Trader Joe's O's" because they are wheat free, unlike the other well known brand. Peaches & Plum puree (not so popular) Freeze dried bananas bombed again. I think they will be my snack from now on!
Dinner Polenta (chunks and some by spoon) Applesauce Frozen pear/mango puree (in the mesh feeder, at first, to soothe her sore gums) Avocado wedge O cereal
She ate a ton for dinner....and it took forever! Lately she seems totally uninterested in eating any fruit herself, which is frustrating. When we first started BLW she devoured pear and a couple times banana, and would enjoy some dried fruit now and then. Is she just getting lazy? Uninterested in anything that is not applesauce? I think I will try some baked apple, soon, to see how that goes over, since it would be very similar. I also bought a honeydew melon and am hoping she enjoys that...if its not too slippery!
