Having a self-feeder and a whole milk drinker has made eating time, packing for school and going out so much easier! But, it has made an almost daily food post non-existent. We haven't tried many new foods lately, but we have really changed how we eat our favorites.
This is a plate representing Abby's dinner the other night. She doesn't eat every item on this plate, but on average eats about 80%.
Her carrots are sliced and cut in half just to avoid the coin shape that is a choking hazard. With 10 teeth, she really chews her food up, but we're playing it safe. She loves string cheese and will eat it all first! She can eat a full string and normally puts 4 or more of these pieces in her mouth at once.
She eats ham and chicken daily and we buy it in julienne strips already. Just recently, we stopped cutting up her bananas and fed it to her in "sticks" which she loves to squish in her fingers and then smash into her mouth.
If we are lucky enough to be able to feed her with a spork, Abby loves to pretend like she isn't paying attention to the food in front of her and then quickly dive in and bite it off the spork. We applaud her technique (really just the fact that she is eating) and she claps and gets ready to do it again!
