Risotto and noodles???

It's been a little while since I had a chance to post, things are busy in our household as we are planning a move back to my home-country Denmark. A lot has happened on the weaning front - for one, we have been a bit more experimental with which foods we have offered, as the title suggests. To stay true to the BLW approach, Indigo eats what we eat; I was a little apprehensive with both the noodles and the risotto (two separate meals might I add), but I thought 'oh well, we can only try....' and true to her nature, she surprised us again with very inventive eating skills.

She took handfuls of the risotto, and although I didn't see how she was actually going to get it in her mouth, she managed somehow because I could see rice grains in there when she was chewing with her mouth open (we will work on table manners later). She also, at one point, put her face to the table and seemingly scraped the rice in; this seems to be the approach she has when picking things up apparently gets a bit tedious.

The noodles; we were making ourselves a stir fry, and I fished a few plain noodles and stir fried veggies out of the dish before adding the sauces. Oyster and soya sauce are way too salty for little babies bellies. And boy did she have fun with those noodles. They were actually surprisingly easy for her to hold as they were a bit sticky, and the long bits that were hanging out of her fists were easy to get in her mouth.


Here is Indigo eating fist fulls of risotto (left) and having fun with her noodles (right). I have to say that we are very impressed with how quickly her skills are developing.
