Baby Lunch Ideas
It was during lunch time that I usually served a new and exciting puree to baby.
The reason was simple. I found that during lunchtime my little one was usually in a good mood from just waking up from their mid-morning nap and by then I had usually taken a shower, changed into a newish pair of yoga pants and was on my second pot of coffee.
Yeppers, by noon, we were both finally ready to rock and roll!
For us, breakfast was always hit or miss depending on how they (and me) slept the night before – ie, it usually had to be easy to make and serve (here is a list of our favorite breakfast purees).
So lunch was our time to play with food.
I introduced almost all their new flavored purees during this time. I also picked purees that were loaded with a ton of fruits and veggies to serve for this meal. For the most part, I found that both of my girls were really open and ready to eat during this time. They ate almost anything I would serve and because it was in the middle of the day, we were both in a good mood to try new foods and new methods of eating. These new methods of eating consisted of giving them their spoon and seeing what would happen, mess and all.
