Picky eater

My little picky eater is so difficult to feed :(

Baby led weaning isn't going very well and I'm too tired to clear up his mess. The stuff that he can eat on his own are baby biscuits (rice only), small puffs, bread and apples. Yup, he loves apples so much!

I've been giving him porridge cooked with a combination of 2-3 vegetables like broccoli, carrots, pumpkins, sweet corns, asparagus, spinach and cauliflower. Sometimes, I add red dates for sweet taste.

Today, I tried out a new recipe and fed him tomato pasta. He seems to enjoy the new taste and ate more than he usually would. So breakfast is tomato pasta, lunch is porridge and bread with olive spread and sugar, and dinner is porridge again. And some bites of apple coz he snatched it from me and ate it.

Tomato pasta

a little bit of sugar
a little bit of cinnamon
boiled hot water
add in cooked pasta
add in chopped and cooked broccoli 

Olive Bread
softmeal bread
olive spread and sprinkle a little bit of brown sugar
cut bread into small square pieces
(I would love to get some cute shapes cookie cutter to cut the bread.)

Porridge
chopped pumpkin, asparagus, and baby corns
red dates for sweet taste

cook with slow cooker until rice is ready to be eaten

Tomorrow, I'll be making this:

Hope baby will like it. Will be making the olive bread for him again as breakfast.

Feeding a picky baby requires lots of creativity and brain power from mummy!
