I have a series of small pots and non-stick mini frypans have proven to be perfect to reheat tiny portions for a tiny tummy. I can warm and mush to the right texture at the same time.
Particularly, this small non-stick pan I Jackie Middletonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16097430040613398754noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018623460511768269.post-88960087011654717802012-07-27T11:55:00.002+10:002012-07-27T17:53:00.192+10:00So much foodI take my hat of to my devoted blogging friends, its a mix bag of emotions blogging again.
I love sharing and documenting this important stage in Little Z's life yet the guilt of going to bed at the end of another day with no blog post written is tough.
That being said, I really have such an easy baby that I shouldn't be thinking this is too hard writing a few words regularly as its mostly work Jackie Middletonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16097430040613398754noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018623460511768269.post-22951797686165765822012-07-05T14:14:00.001+10:002012-07-27T17:52:38.502+10:00Omega 3Surprisingly already, I'm in the position were I'm needing to share my lunch with Z.
My unadon (Japanese eel on rice) was greedily demanded after each morsel was sucked and swallowed.
I'd pull off a small piece of the flesh rub it between my fingers checking for tiny bones and then pop it on his tongue. He absolutely loved it and then even a small amount of the rice coated in the sauce.

My absolute favourite so far is taleggio, from some awesome polenta last week, today's scented burb was pear.
It takes you by surprise asJackie Middletonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16097430040613398754noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018623460511768269.post-45491247693926265612012-06-26T21:25:00.001+10:002012-07-27T17:53:16.148+10:00PatienceIt's interesting how Z's mood affects whether he will 'play the solids game' with us each day. Last night he happily scoffed down more salmon pâté, (and then an hour later threw it up all over his play rug, whilst having tummy time), yet this morning he wasn't the least interested in his avocado and egg yolk breakie. The thing is I don't think it's the food itself, it's his mood.

Food that's delicious and good for us.The information about what should and shouldn't be first foods is so contradictory and confusing that I'm not surprised that so many people turn to the packets of factory made 'food' that they sell for babies. Z is used to tasting my diverse diet via breast milk so it seems a step backwards Jackie Middletonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16097430040613398754noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018623460511768269.post-5307180196368918142012-06-20T22:30:00.002+10:002012-06-20T22:30:51.594+10:0016 weeksIt's 16 weeks today.
It is an exciting milestone, Z can start solids.
Just quietly, we have been dabbling with different tastes since he was born. Champagne (bad), mandarin (loved it), duck (sucked like crazy), gorgonzola (squinted then gestured for more), smoked prawn (great), avocado (more!) and of course lots of breast milk (but thats a long, long story for another time).
