Molly's Munchkin Meals

Brittany over at A Healthy Slice of Life started an awesome weekly blog column titled Munchkin Meals to allow Moms to share their kiddos meals passing along great ideas for all.



Since Molly is still working on her ability to grab food, so we do a combo of purees and real foods. I wasn't sure I was really going to be able to share since most of the kiddos are BLW and eat some really impressive foods (better than my meals!). But as she grows she is getting better and better and her palate more sophisticated.

So...we are jumping in to Munchkin Meals!

For Breakfast Molly has a 1/2 cup of YoYo Baby yogurt (Blueberry is her favorite) along with some pieces of toast or a croissant etc.

For lunch, at around 12:30 or 1 after her morning nap, she gets sweet potatoes, some HealthyBabies puffs and usually some turkey and cheese. She LOVES cheese.

We also usually have an afternoon snack ranging from puffs, mum-mums, cheerios, yogurt bites etc.

Dinner is where we get a little more exciting.

Turkey meatloaf, black beans, sweet potatoes, croissant and pears for dessert. Yum!

It is so fun to start giving her  more "big girl" foods and nice to be able to give her what we are eating. Hoping she continues to be a good eater!

  1. M is such a good eater now! I can't believe they're nearly the same age and she's eating so much more- and better- than W. Go Molly :)

  2. It just happend one day...like she just decided "Okay, I will eat this food now." We still have to help her a lot with putting the real foods in her mouth. She gets them really close but then sometimes misses. 

    I bet one day he just decides, okay lets eat!

  3. She's so cute! My son is almost two weeks younger. We started with purees, but I think after the ones I've made are gone, we'll try BLW. Looks so much easier!

  4. We still do purees too, a combo. I usually do purees as "sides" so sweet potatoes, carrots, peas etc. and then also share what we are eating. Going well so far!
