Cheese, turkey lunch meat, bananas. But we were are out at a restaurant we do pouches and then give her whatever from our plates. But at least the pouch gets her some veggies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/less-messy-blw-ideas#post-1576190 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 19:17:56 +0000 Boheme 1576190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get LO a grilled cheese and bring stuff like apple slices, celery and carrots, or cantaloupe. He gets a little sticky, but not too terribly bad. He only has two teeth too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/less-messy-blw-ideas#post-1576189 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 19:17:55 +0000 Ra 1576189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend always brings a container of black beans and diced avocado to our play dates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/less-messy-blw-ideas#post-1576188 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 19:17:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 1576188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: Good to know. Yeah she definitely eats things that surprise me- she had quinoa and black bean burgers this week! Delicious but so messy. Chicken pieces, nice and neat to clean up, she's like, meh. </p> <p>She does like pears, so that's another good one. I guess I should stock up on pouches too for on the go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/less-messy-blw-ideas#post-1576176 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 19:15:30 +0000 wonderstruck 1576176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: My LO ate it back when he had two teeth, but he has a huge appetite and will eat many things that shock me. He's not a fan of cheese cubes or anything, but I do think it's different when it's melty. He was probably around 9 months the first time he had it, I don't think it's much harder to chew than toast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/less-messy-blw-ideas#post-1576168 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 19:13:27 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1576168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pouches! Greek yogurt and applesauce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/less-messy-blw-ideas#post-1576166 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 19:12:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 1576166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: She won't eat Cheerios! What kid won't eat cheerios? She didn't even like the puffs I tried-- they are delicious! But she will happily pick up peas. Weirdo. </p> <p>@wonderstruck: When did you start with grilled cheese? She's not really into regular cheese, though we haven't tried it in a couple of weeks since she was also constipated, but I feel like you need to chew it to really taste it when it's cold. Melty would probably be more tasty but I wonder if she could eat it with two teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/less-messy-blw-ideas#post-1576138 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 19:07:29 +0000 blackbird 1576138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chopped chicken and cheese sticks are mess free </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/less-messy-blw-ideas#post-1576134 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 19:06:43 +0000 wonderstruck 1576134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some things my 11 month old loves with minimal mess is grilled cheese, blueberries, and grapes (I'd cut them in half, at least at first) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/less-messy-blw-ideas#post-1576131 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 19:05:04 +0000 prettylizy 1576131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gnawing and sucking on Apple slices, Cheerios and sometimes purée pouches too. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/less-messy-blw-ideas#post-1576124 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 19:03:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 1576124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At home, I feed C whatever and deal with the mess-- broccoli confetti everywhere? Fine. Avocado smears? Whatever. But when we are out, or eating at someone else's house, any recommendations for foods that are less messy to clean up? </p> <p>I have found pancakes make minimal mess, and steamed carrots are usually OK. Toast is fine. What else do you feed your BLW baby (or, just a baby who isn't doing purees anymore) while you are out and about?</p> <p>C is 8.5 months. We do some spoon feeding-- prune puree and yogurt, which are both messy on her face but at least the surrounding area is still clean-ish, and I've giving her pouches with minimal mess, relatively speaking. </p>
