I've found your menus so helpful! I'm looking forward to Pablo's 8-12 month menus. Your blog has helped me plan my baby's meals, thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Sara, thank you for your comment, I'm so glad the menus have been helpful to you! I've been meaning to update the 8-12 months section for a while, now you're giving me extra motivation to do so quickly!! :-) Wishing you many delicious meals for 2013!
DeleteHello Helene - I have been following and finding much inspiration from your blog for some time now. I have a 13 month old son and have feeding him a wide variety of foods since he was about 5 months. However, he's getting a little pickier and less accepting of his food at mealtime and I was wondering - did you go through this with Pablo? If you have any practical advice, I'd love to hear it. Does Pablo ever refuse foods, and if so, what do you do? Also - do you give Pablo any drinks besides water? Milk? Thank you for writing such a beautiful blog - you've been a huge help!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, thanks so much for following the blog and for the kind words, so glad the blog has been helpful! As far as drinks, Pablo (22 mo) still drinks about 12-16 oz a milk a day, 3 times a day but not at meal times, usually at least 1 hour from the meals. Other than that, just water. The only little bit of juice he gets is fresh squeezed OJ or grapefruit juice with breakfast (a few sips, maybe 1-2 oz max). Re: the refusing foods, you may want to check out this post with some of my strategies, see if it helps: http://frenchfoodiebaby.blogspot.com/2012/12/salmon-wrapped-leeks-au-gratin-and-7.html. I would first and foremost remember that children do not starve themselves, so if he's hungry, he will eventually eat. Infants and toddlers know how to listen to their bodies, so my job is to offer the right foods in the right quantities, and he decides how much to eat. However, I wouldn't give in to more snacks if he doesn't eat at mealtimes, that's a vicious circle (What's his snacking like at the moment?). I guess my main tip would be to stay cool, nonchalant about it, try to not let it stress you out or go into power struggles, keep offering and engaging with the meal, and remember this is just a phase... Hope that helps a little, feel free to contact me if you have other questions!
