Along the same lines, if I bake peaches and dice them how long can I keep them in fridge for?

Also, can the veggies be roasted plain so they don’t get soggy or is the olive oil a necessity? Thx again…

Karen – I dont think the olive oil is a necessity, just stops the vegies from sticking to the tray and stops them drying out too much. We also use it to add fat and calories. Whatever I cook one day I usually make extra and reheat the next day, Tyler has never been sick from it. Most foods last 48 hours in the refridgerator.

Glad the formula switch is going well too

So far still a no go. What about fresh/uncooked blueberries? Are those
safe at this point if she’s been doing fine with blueberry puree for
more than 2 months now?

Karen, how are you getting her to eat chicken nuggets? Do you cut them up (and if so into what shape/size) or do you give them whole?

I buy frozen chicken nuggets at Whole Foods (Bell & Evans brand)
and bake a couple at a time. I generally then take one at room
temperature and break it into small pieces – about the size of 1-2
cheerios maybe. She eats them better the day they are cooked – the next
day reheated not as well, they must be drier or something and not as
tasty.

Thanks. Maybe I’ll try it. I just find that they’re a bit too tough for her… she really doesn’t chew.

They seem tough second day but right out of oven (cooled) they are
still pretty juicy. Marisa doesn’t chew all that much either but gums
them pretty well. It’s the only thing besides cheerios, puffs and bread
that i can currently get her to eat (finger food wise)

Karen – Zach is a little older than Marisa but he loves the Goldfish
crackers (the Baby Goldfish are just a little bigger than
cheerios) He used to have a “slimy texture” issue too but has
seemed to outgrow it. We just kept offering……..I have
definitely learned patience with this one!

The Goldfish crackers have cheese/milk, right? If so, just have to wait
until next week! So he just got over it on his own? What was the first
non-dry food he took?

I started Zach on the plain goldfish crackers so those didn’t have
cheese but not sure about the milk. Didn’t even think about that
for Marisa. But if you only have another week to wait, that’s not
too bad. As for the textures, he did just get over it
eventually. I think he saw what we were eating and thought he was
missing out maybe? The first non-dry food he liked was actually
boiled carrots and green beans. Then he decided that pasta was
pretty good. Now he LOVES spaghetti-o’s (which he rarely
gets!!) Hopefully it will pass for her too.

there are also cheddar bunnies and whole wheat bunnies- I get them at whole foods- same deal as goldifsh, only bunnies…I make a mix of cheerios and the two kind of bunnies and put them in jonah’s snack trap. for those of you who don’t have a snack trap, it is an amazing invention!

Thanks again guys. I think part of the problem is that we don’t get to
eat often together – so she doesn’t see us eating much – but I’ll post
separately about that. So Tricia – did you just keep leaving boiled
carrots and green beans on his tray and one day he took them? Did you
still offer cheerios, etc at the same time? And with pasta did he
decide it was good plain or with cheese, sauce, etc?

Laura – I keep meaning to buy a snack trap!

I did continue to leave the carrots or green beans on his tray at every
meal and one day he decided they were pretty good. Not sure why,
guess he figured they must not be too bad since I continue to put them
there! I did not give him the
cheerios/goldfish/crackers at the same tiime – I wanted him to try the
veggies first and if it was a no-go, then we’d give him a few of his
“regular” foods that he liked. We did start with plain pasta and
slowly added items. I did add a bit of olive oil to it so that it
wasn’t sticky but that was it. Then I started adding things like
cheese, very little tomato/spaghetti sauce, etc. I don’t know
what makes these little one finally change their minds but it does
happen eventually!

So you would leave the carrots or green beans there and if he wouldn’t
take them or got upset you’d then give him what he liked instead? So I
guess I should give her the purees first and then try whatever finger
food and then end the meal with her favorites?

How did you add the olive oil to the plain pasta? What size did you make the pasta pieces?

Sorry for the 2000 questions – just trying to progress along here if possible. Thanks again!
