Kari. Baby food blog/website for recipes ideas

Kari or anyone
Is there a website you like with BLW food ideas? Or even ideas for the step after purees?
Layla is less and less interested in eating unless it has more texture (could just be a coincidence) so I want to slowly phase out the purees that are ready in my freezer while incorporating more finger foods
She had egg today and was very curious and interested in it.

Read the BLW book. I really just give kid whatever I'm eating. For breakfast and lunch, when I generally eat junk, kid eats eggs, oatmeal, sugarless muffins, sausage, or grits for lunch she eats meatballs, cheese, cooked frozen veggies, rice pasta, steamed fresh veggies. My motto is to just try it. You'll be surprised what she can and will eat. It takes awhile catch on but I'm so glad that I hung in. It's so easy now.

Don't get frustrated if she plays more than eats the finger foods for awhile. I put finger foods on the tray every time she ate, just to get her used to the idea. Bananas, pasta, beans, sweet potatoes, shredded cheese, etc. are all good things to start with. I think starting them on finger foods early makes them better eaters later... My kid would rather eat tomatoes than cookies. I've experimented!

You don't need special recipes, just give her whatever you are eating. Our dd started BLWing at 6 months and eats anything and everything.

Yep, she just eats what we eat.

We dont eat as well as I would like her to eat. And, we eat a lot of repeat things.
Maybe we should just eat better. Ha!

Just feed her what you're having.

DD had pulled pork bbq, cole slaw, and fried green tomatoes for dinner tonight. She kept yelling for more whenever she was out of pork.

But one of the ideas behind BLW is also that it encourages you to eat better I haven't made any special recipes yet. Last night DS had a slice of pork loin, broccoli and a peice of bread.

I tend to keep plain pasta in the fridge if we're having something I know she doesn't do as well with (more from a texture, she likes all flavors).

Chances are if you are eating something different she will just want what you eat anyways, so just make what you want her to eat for all of you.

Oh yeah, she has eaten apple slices and melon already. She just sucks on them.
