14.01.2022 BAKED RISOTTO BALLS: Risotto balls are a great finger food for little ones who like to feed themselves. This risotto recipe is baked, so no slaving over a hot stove either.
10.01.2022 Who loves a before and after? When your kid wants nothing but weet-bix for dinner...I give him weet-bix WITH his dinner. Turns out he was just really hungry and wanted something easy and familiar to eat first, before smashing the rest of his meal By the way these are the baked meatballs in simple tomato sauce from the website and they are Kx #positivefeeding #happymealtimes #fussyeating #gentleapproach
08.01.2022 The beans and sweet potato give a really soft texture making them perfect finger food for the littler ones. A very cheap, nutritious and easy meal that freezes wonderfully what more could you want?
07.01.2022 Throwing food // 7 reasons why babies and toddlers might throw food: 1. They’re overwhelmed with the amount of food in front of them (next time present smaller portions and offer more if they're still hungry)... 2. They don’t like the touch and feel of it (for babies help them to eat it by spoon feeding them or helping them pick up the food, for toddlers offer utensils or strategies to help them feel more comfortable with engaging with the food) 3. They’re not hungry (tune into and respect their hunger and fullness cues, adjust mealtimes needed, switch to milk after solids or leave it a bit longer after milk before you offer solids. Or it could just be the day!) 4. They’ve had enough to eat (respect the cue, end the mealtime, teach them little signals to better communicate how to tell you they're full) 5. They’re feeling anxious about the mealtime (try to understand why they might be anxious, reduce distractions, stop bribery, help support proper posture, offer foods they like alongside foods that might be new or regularly refused) 6. The don’t know how to eat the food presented to them (engage in family mealtimes and eat the food with them, role model positive eating behaviours and show them how to eat the food. Also try to offer familiar foods at the same time) 7. They think it’s a game. (avoid punishment or strong reactions, keep calm, pick up the food and help show them where to place food -perhaps in a corner of the high chair tray or table - if they don't want to eat and consider all the other reasons above. Reward and praise the positive behaviours. The less attention you give the food throwing the more likely they are to move on from it pretty quickly!) In this instance, Jude had had enough to eat. He’d already eaten 1.5 pieces of toast and a banana. Simply acknowledging they’ve had enough to eat and ending the meal time was a sufficient reaction in this case. Jess x
06.01.2022 Baking boxes What will you be filling yours with with this term? These will make lunchbox packing a breeze this year. All of your baked good flash-frozen on a tray, then stored in the same container - so you can easily mix and match what you need without digging around in the freezer. I like to keep a sweet and a savoury box, and just bake one of each every week to keep them well-stocked Let me know if you’ve tried this! xK For more posts like these join our meal planning for busy families group - Ax
