Menu Galore

Feeding Gabe is so darned hard. I had hoped that since he didn't want to drink much milk, perhaps he would be very ready and eager for solids. How wrong I was. Breakfast is a tough job with all the singing n playing. Lunch is even harder coz at first he was kinda OK starting out, even eating 80-100ml. Then past week, nope he screamed on one occasion and ate like 30-40ml most of the times.

So perhaps i thought he needed more variety. He's been having salmon, sweet potato, chicken and carrots mainly. So i came up with a flexi menu :-

Base:
1) Chicken + sweet potato
2) Fish + pumpkin

The idea is to alternate between these 2 every 2 days or so. So, in case he gets bored i prepared 4 different sides to add-in to give it new flavor:

Sides:
a) apples
b) carrots
c) broccoli (i doubt he'll like this, so in case, i got cheddar cheese to add)
d) pumpkin

Breakfast choices:
Base: Cereal
Sides:
1) apple + cranberries
2) banana + cinnamon
3) papaya

I know, I know, crazy right? I can't help it, i just want him to try eat more, so whatever it takes i'll try it. I don't want to wait until his weight starts to fall then only try find ways to get it back up. Already, it's increasing so little. Just want him to be a chubby healthy baby. So all this preparation, well it's tiring, but i try to prepare all in 1 day, so for the whole week he has enough to go round.

Ughhh....can't think what i'll serve next week. Too tired to think now. Haven't had straight 5 hrs sleep past 2 weeks. Baby has been fussing.

Bananas + cinnamon; Papaya; Apple + Cranberry

Apples; Broccoli; Carrots

Salmon Sweet potato porridge which he seems to love best

Let's hope he appreciates my effort huh? Eat Gabe, Eat...
