5 days down...

So we're nearly at the end of the week and I'm starting to feel a bit better about Baby Bean's food intake. I know everything is in tiny quantities, but she's getting a lot of variety and it actually looks like quite a bit of food when you see it written down. So day 5 started fairly well:

Breakfast - half a lemon and raisin pancake, some grapes and about 5 multigrain cereal shapes.
Mid morning snack - multigrain hearts
Lunch - Ooops! Bean had kind of a looooooong nap :-) And sleep is WAY too precious to disturb for anything, even the chance to get some food down her. Besides, my baby eats worst when she's tired so there really is no point waking her up for a meal!

So the afternoon was spent with breastmilk being much in demand (I'd forgotten how often babies feed when on a liquid diet!).

Dinner - back on track with two of the best recipes in the BLW cookbook: lemon and tarragon chicken with pasta (plus peas, sweetcorn and cherry tomatoes), and quarter of an apple cooked in butter and cinnamon.

If you haven't come across the BLW cookbook, this is it. It has become my bible! And it has some great information in the front about why BLW is so good, just in case you need to convince any family members or childcare providers. :-)
