To think that just a couple of weeks ago I was in weaning despair: the girls wouldn’t eat, weren’t interested in eating, it was all pointless, blah blah and now we’re on three meals a day. Baby porridge or cereal in the morning, savoury at lunch and fruit in the afternoon.
Admittedly they don’t always eat very much but at least some food is going in their mouths and out the other end in a variety of delightful nappies.
As I predicted, my plans to be a puree-ing earth mother have gone to pot. The AK specially-designed ice-cube trays are sitting in the cupboard, unopened and unused. We are a packet porridge, jars and fruit-pot family with the occasional organic rusk thrown in.
I justify this in my head by telling myself that they have freshly prepared and cooked food at nursery so this takes some of the burden off me when I’m at home. When they are eating more ‘interesting’ good I’ll blend up small portions of what we have that therefore they will get proper home-cooked food then. Also, I’ve bought some veg that I can steam and cut into finger foods for them. It’s not like I’m blending up a happy meal and mainlining sunny d into them is it?!
