Bye Bye Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays
After some thought, I’ve decided to stop posting Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays post. Really, where we are at in our Baby-led Weaning, it’s mostly just the same stuff over and over. I feel like I’m fighting to find interesting/useful things to write about and that they’re still not very good. If things come up that I … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Sandwich Update
For some reason, this is all sandwiches/hamburgers end up: I guess it’s a step up from entirely taking the sandwich apart like she used to? For whatever reason, she’s decided that all sandwiches must be opened. There was about a mili-second of time where she would actually take bites of a sandwich as a sandwich … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Feeding Her Baby
This post isn’t really much about Baby-led Weaning, but it’s really cute. You see, Peanut recently realized that her baby doll is supposed to be a little human. Ever since, she’s wanted me to put her diapers on the baby doll, put the baby doll in her car seat, etc. I decided to take some … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Corn on the Cob
One of my favorite things about summer is corn on the cob. I love corn not on the cob, but somehow it’s just a billion times better straight off the source. No need for butter or salt—just give me some of that corn! Needless to say, we eat corn on the cob frequently in the … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Soup
And we’re back! It seems like everything is getting in the way of my weekly Baby-led Weaning post! We had the Breastfeeding Cafe Carnival for the last two weeks of August and before that there were weeks of planning the Carnival. To be quite honest, my posting is going to get pretty scarce in the … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Turning Point
It seems as though we’ve come to a turning point in our Baby-led Weaning. From day one, I’ve been handing Peanut very large pieces of food so that she can take bites off. For a long time she didn’t even eat grapes because one time that they made her gag. Now that Peanut is a … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Vegetable Question
How do I get my child to eat more vegetables? The age-old question every parent asks at one point or another. Now, I shall pose this question to you lovely readers. Peanut started off loving vegetables. When there were many different things on her plate, the fruits and vegetables were always gone first. I wasn’t … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Apples
Peanut started doing something very interesting over the last week—she now eats whole apples. I used to cut them into slices, but she won’t even eat those anymore. She must have a whole apple handed to her. It all started when I got out an apple to slice, but had to set it on the … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Cereal
I had a lot of conflicts about whether or not to give Peanut cereal when she turned one (and therefore was old enough for cow’s milk). She already ate Barbara O’s (organic Cheerio type cereal that’s sweetened with fruit juice) dry, but whether or not to put milk on them threw me for a loop. … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Straws
We never used sippy cups because of the speech problems associated with them. So straight from the get-go we used a regular cup with Peanut. She couldn’t hold it herself, so we held it for her. It was cute for a few months, but then it became an annoyance. She would whine when she wanted … Read more
