What are you cooking?

Question

What are you girls making for your baby’s meals? I’m running out of ideas... this takes so much planning and I’m always stressed out about her eating, what to do if we are not home at meal times, etc!!

Answer

We feed him what we eat. Nothing spicy though of course. 
Protein, veggie and a carb of some sort. That’s it. 
I cut it in very small strips for him to pick up on his own on his high chair tray. And he gets water with every breakfast, lunch and dinner. He still also gets his bottles of breastmilk in between too.

Answer

Feed your kid what you eat. That’s what we do. At home, at restaurants, at other people’s houses. 
The only thing they can’t insure between 9-12 months is honey.

Answer

Like the other person said, my LO will each whatever we’re eating, I just make sure there’s no added salt in what we’re giving her, other than that she eats whatever we eat.

Answer

I know what you mean. I feel like it’s been a challenge for me because even if I feed him what I eat- that means I have to eat better lol 😂 like actual meals. Before I had a baby I didn’t always make meals- I was a snacked or eat throughout the day kinda person. 
I have been getting small microwaveable mashed potato cups, or rice cups. Those are easy for when I’m not hungry. 
I also do French style green beans, fruit cups, toast with peanut butter or jelly or regular butter. He likes baked beans too. 
I made spaghetti and tater tot hot dish recently as well- which he liked. He just didn’t have any big chunks of beef, I cut it smaller. 
 I also have made chicken nuggets for us to share, this could easily be something where you just make a couple for baby too. They are softer too. 
My husband has a strict diet so every night for dinner he has rice and then some kind of meat. He always shares his rice with him. 
Soft oatmeal bars are a good snack- or baby puffs. Eggs and oatmeal is a good idea too. 😀

Answer

Overnight oats are a life saver for me. Crock pot meals and lots of just whole ingredient options. Avocado, berries, cheese, toast, chicken. Sometimes I get fancy and will make the “BLW” pancakes or muffins for him but usually just eat what we eat. 
My fav go to pancake:
Mush banana and 1 strawberry, add 1 egg and 1/4 cup of flour or baby oatmeal. Dash of cinnamon and then through the batter in a skillet with some unsalted butter. YUM! I eat those with him! 
There are also so many free recipes online, check Pinterest, IG reels and Tik Tok! 
Idk what kind of mom I’d be without those apps. LOL

Answer

For all the moms saying the baby eats what you eat, do you cook with salt? I’ve read no salt for the first year and I do not know how to cook food (that I actually want to eat) without salt!

Answer

My son eats a variety of foods like..... beans, brown rice, a variety of vegetables, and fruit! He really enjoys tomatoes, pancakes, brown rice, apples, spinach.
When I try to make his meal look like the family dinner I do not add any salt to his food but I have begun introducing different spices like, oregano, basil, thyme, turmeric, cinnamon, garlic, and rosemary
Pinterest has been my go to for meal inspiration!
Happy Cooking
