The end of our food diary

So finally we reach the last day of our food diary and it's a pretty uneventful one to be honest!

Breakfast - 1 segment of onion bagel, 3 cherry tomatoes and 1 piece of satsuma
Lunch - a small piece of ham, 1 cube of cheese, several multigrain hearts, a few blueberries and some bits of cake
Dinner - 2 spoonfuls of rice, 2 chewed bits of beef and 3 prawn crackers

So, what have I learnt? That not every day can be a good food day, but that Baby Bean does eat. Therefore, when she doesn't eat, it must be because she's not hungry enough to.

Sounds kinda obvious doesn't it! :-)

And yet, in the moment, when faced with a baby who won't eat the food in front of them, it's INCREDIBLY hard to believe. Unbelievably hard in fact. It's been a little easier since doing this diary, but there are still plenty of times when I find myself cajoling for just "one more mouthful" as if my baby isn't sensible enough to know she's still hungry.

Come on, silly Mummy! If Bean wanted to eat she would still be doing this:
