We’ve had great success with baby-led weaning with Baby Markers. She almost exclusively feeds herself, which is great for keeping her busy when we go out to eat, and it allows me to be hands-free during meal times at home. She’s independent by nature, so even when we try to give her things like applesauce and yogurt, she wants to do it herself!
She has just recently started to get picky. She no longer likes vegetables in their plain, natural state, but she will eat them when they’re served as a part of something else (like in a muffin or meatball). She prefers carbs (bread, waffles, pizza) and chicken or turkey over anything else, so I’ve had to get creative to get her to eat her veggies.
I usually give her some variation of what we’re eating for dinner, but I’ve also taken the time to make meals ahead of time for her. The following recipes have held up great in the freezer, and they are perfect to quickly defrost for a last minute lunch or dinner.
You do need one item for all three of these recipes – a mini muffin tin! Perfect portion size for the little one.
