A lot has changed since I had my own little boys to look after. Ideas about diets have changed a lot and I?m wondering how this reflects on how babies and toddlers are fed now. Jamie and Alex were breastfed exclusively for six months, then they had breast milk and solids. I think they?re still having a nightly feed before bedtime, although Sunny told me she wants to wean Jamie soon. Both boys have good appetites and eat a variety of foods.
Back in the old days, babies and toddlers were commonly given salted and sweet food. I didn?t know anyone who was gluten or dairy intolerant, or who had an allergy to nuts. I knew of one baby who was allergic to eggs and my son Kerry didn't like eggs. He still doesn't. I think good free range eggs are excellent food for toddlers. When did you introduce eggs? ?What egg recipes do your children like?
When I fed my children, I wanted them to eat what we ate. I have always cooked from scratch so it was no problem to first puree things like mixed vegetables and fruits and later on, process meals like roast chicken and vegetables, vegetable soup or lamb and rice in the blender so they were a good consistency for my babies. It wasn?t long before we had a good system going and we were all eating the same food, although in different consistencies. When my children were weaned they drank water, cow?s milk, Milo and a variety of fresh and processed fruit juices. If you have a baby or small children now, what do you feed them, and when? If you have time, would you set out a day?s menu for me, including drinks and snacks. I have a feeling things haven?t changed much, except for the food allergies, but who know, I might be completely off here. It has happened before. ;- )Source: http://down---to---earth.blogspot.com/2012/07/tips-for-baby-and-toddler-food.html
