She would only be given one of these items each day at daycare, plus puffs &amp; yogurt melts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-didnt-like-pures-what-did-you-send-to-daycare-for-food#post-2424892 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 16:03:49 +0000 MamaCate 2424892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: yeah I think I just need to get over it...but I appreciate the sympathy!</p> <p>@matador84: watermelon is a great idea! He is still pretty little so I think we have to wait a little for round things like blueberries, but those will be good for the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-didnt-like-pures-what-did-you-send-to-daycare-for-food#post-2424652 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 11:53:28 +0000 pastemoo 2424652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: Oh, that is a lot to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-didnt-like-pures-what-did-you-send-to-daycare-for-food#post-2424600 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 11:02:28 +0000 matador84 2424600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Butternut squash cubes, peas, applesauce pouches, blueberries, watermelon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-didnt-like-pures-what-did-you-send-to-daycare-for-food#post-2424597 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 10:57:43 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2424597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Steamed veggies. Just stream a few things during the week, and send them throughout the week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-didnt-like-pures-what-did-you-send-to-daycare-for-food#post-2424553 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 09:34:23 +0000 MrsSRS 2424553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you dish out dinner put a little in a tupperware for the next day. Then you don't have to think about leftovers and it's done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-didnt-like-pures-what-did-you-send-to-daycare-for-food#post-2424545 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 09:17:04 +0000 MamaCate 2424545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: I will for some things for sure. I just now have to think about means that translate well into baby eating and leftovers along with thinking about what the 4 yo will eat, what I have time to make when we get home and if there are leftovers for my lunches. So that is why it seems a little daunting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-didnt-like-pures-what-did-you-send-to-daycare-for-food#post-2424544 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 09:13:21 +0000 pastemoo 2424544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: Totally, put your leftovers in a mini tupperware! Don't make extra work for yourself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-didnt-like-pures-what-did-you-send-to-daycare-for-food#post-2421838 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 12:52:56 +0000 MamaCate 2421838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: ooh I forgot about yogurt bites! Thanks! And I guess leftovers make sense, it's just one more factor for meal planning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-didnt-like-pures-what-did-you-send-to-daycare-for-food#post-2421757 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 12:08:20 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2421757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did the baby led weaning and it worked great for both girls. Mine hated purees unless they were in a pouch so we just gave them some of what we ate the night before, along with puffs and yogurt drops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-didnt-like-pures-what-did-you-send-to-daycare-for-food#post-2421672 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 11:14:12 +0000 MamaCate 2421672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: I agree that food is for fun but he is interested and seems ready. I guess I should just make mini portions of what we are eating but it is so straightforward to just share and seems like a lot of work. I just need to adjust to it! Plus his weight is a little low so I agree with the doctor that he is ready for more solids. BLW websites are a good idea--thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-didnt-like-pures-what-did-you-send-to-daycare-for-food#post-2421583 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 10:44:45 +0000 pastemoo 2421583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't start him in care till 8 months but he wasn't interested in food till 10 months, so I just didn't send anything. I'd just give whatever baby will taste at home--or save foods for home only. At 6 months, food is pretty much just for fun. I'd rather do it myself and take photos than have daycare do it.</p> <p>But if you really want to send food, look up baby led weaning and see if any of it interests you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-didnt-like-pures-what-did-you-send-to-daycare-for-food#post-2421421 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 09:35:11 +0000 MamaCate 2421421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO just turned 6 months old, has 6 teeth and a healthy interest in food, but absolutely no interest in purées!</p> <p>At home we have been giving him pieces of what we eat and he is doing well with that but i need to figure out what to send to daycare for him. Ideas please! </p>
