i have the same problem, my one year old insists on feeding herself, which isn't too bad most off the time- most things she can just pick up and eat, it just means a bit more mess at the end. Pasta shapes are a good base, and i can often slip in spoonfuls of sauce as she eats. I also put things onto her fork, and she can pick it up and eat it herself.

i do mini sandwiches at lunch time ( her favourite is banana ones) , and often toast soldiers dipped in humous or avocado.

I have been doing baby led weaning with mine from 6months and have been posting some of the recipes on my blog. Hope it helps. :) http://bighungryfamily.blogspot.com/


All recipes with BLW by them are specifically no added salt and usually fairly quick and easy.

All types of food! My little one hasn't taken food from a spoon in months... So I've kind of perfected the whole 'finger food' thing. Anabel Karmel's recipe book is really handy to get ideas from. Some he likes are:


Loaded potato skins (tuna/sweetcorn or something veggie)

breaded fish/chicken - She actually recommended using cornflakes as a coating, and this is really quick/easy/helpful and weirdly tasty.

cut up veggies he can eat himself (cooked/raw carrots, cucumber)

corn-on-the-cob is a massive favourite.

cream cheese sandwiches

Any type of cooked beans (he can just pick them up and eat them himself)

all types of cheese cut up (mozarella, cheddar)

breadsticks - huge winner

toast with egg on it (I let the egg soak in a little bit and give it to him)

Crepes - I've found if I make these, it can be good for when we're on the go. Just roll some cream cheese/peanut butter/jam on them and then cut them up and give him for lunch if you're somewhere you can't properly feed him.


Hope some of this helps... But like sophiechrisophy says, he'll basically eat anything we eat so sometimes we just make a little extra in the evening (minus salt/sugar) and give him that the next day for lunch.

    • Nice to see an AI fantasy in the New Year. And the late nineteenth century language model is well chosen. But what's being described is rubbish. Picturesque rubbish but rubbish nonetheless. Picking up after dogs is a very late 20th century habit, if even that - poo bags weren't a thing until then, even nappy sacks can't date back much earlier than the 1970s.
    • Good sir/ madam, I find your stance on civil discourse deeply disquieting. In an age when so many bury their heads in the sand, refusing to confront even the most modest concerns, one cannot help but be reminded of a far darker era—when complacency and willful blindness paved the way for atrocities on the scale of Nazi Germany. Small problems, if left to fester, can swiftly grow into monstrous evils that threaten the very fabric of our society. Allow me to draw upon a memory from my own family history to illustrate the gravity of this point. During the Blitz, when bombs rained down upon London night after night, my mother still found the resolve to pick up after our beloved Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Petuna. Even in the face of unimaginable chaos, she refused to shirk her basic responsibilities. Such simple acts of care and integrity, even under fire, stand as a testament to the kind of unwavering diligence we ought to uphold in more peaceful times. Hence, I beseech you to look inward and examine what else you might be letting slip by with your ostrich-like aversion to conflict. Far too often, those who choose not to see are the ones who unwittingly allow true dangers to flourish. By refusing to speak out or engage, we risk enabling the very forces that degrade our communities and tear at the seams of our shared humanity.
    • Hello all - The Met have advised me that my car, stolen on New Year's Eve, is still in the area as the license plate has pinged on the NPR system a few times. But they are not able to know where it actually goes, as it's being driven around, and so cannot recover it. So if - on the off chance - anyone happens to see it, parked or moving: 2004 grey SmartCar, soft top, plate LB04 FTU, I would appreciate it if you could let me know where and when. A quick text is all I need: 07748 654889. Every other aspect has already been dealt with. Just trying to recover myself. Many thanks in advance.  
    • Thanks for the tip @buffruffly.  We've had Richard here all week refurbing our sash windows. He's done a great job and we are pleased with the craftsmanship and the value. He is very polite and tidy too.  Unfortunately, for others looking for his help, he just told me as he is now in his 60s, he may move onto doing something else as it is quite hard manual work.
