Since my last post Harper has had, cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers, green beans, mango, organic puffs, yogurt, eggs, and so much more! She has definitely come a LONG way and knows exactly what to do with her food! She chews like a champ :)
Now as far as most vegetables go, I give them to her raw.
Cucumbers:
These I have done two different ways and both work great! The first way was to cut them into wedges and then the second way is to just slice it like you normally would for a salad and things like that. Cucumbers are Harper's favorite!
Also, we don't do "meals" yet or anything like that. Harper is still mainly breastfed. However, if we are out to eat, she does so well if she gets something too :) Cucumbers seem to always be at restaurants! haha! Whether you pull them off your salad or ask for one sliced up (they don't mind, trust me!), it's great to be able to easily give her something and gives this momma time to eat herself! ;)
Carrots, Bell Peppers, and most veggies that can be eaten raw:
So simple! Just wash, cut, and eat!
Yogurt and Eggs:
For this one i cheat! I guess I cannot call myself a TRUE BLW momma because I do feed her yogurt and eggs every once in a while on a spoon, but i do give her to opportunity to feed herself with the spoon. Just know that it is VERY messy! With eggs you can also just put some scrambled on their highchair or bumbo tray and let them go at it.
Organic Puffs:
Harper eats Happy Baby Organic Puffs. The sweet potato and greens kind. She really loves these and they are so simple, just hand them to her and she knows what to do. Her pincer grasp is keen now :)
