Snack ideas

Hello - other than baby packaged snacks what else do you give your baby for a snack? My little needs two snacks a day but has suddenly gone off the vast majority of his usual foods but is definitely still hungry. He hates egg and I’ve tried lots of different ways of serving it. He does like pancakes so I’m going to make a batch of banana pancakes tomorrow. He’s gone off most fruit and veg. Please share any other ideas!

We’re currently going through the same thing at the minute. Any of her usual go to foods, she’s just not interested. I need some ideas aswell

I make raspberry oat bars (from wean in 15 book) and spinach and sweetcorn muffins (from what mummy makes book) and then carrot and courgette fritters which I found on an Instagram post and she adores all 3 - just mix it up a bit. My LO also hates egg so fritters are a good way of getting her to eat them. Got both of my books off vinted for only a couple of pounds each - I did get another but I don’t rate that one very much xx

Also just cheese - the child is obsessed with cheese so we usually have a little cheese snack on the Playmat mid morning as I can’t get away with eating anything in front of her without her wanting something 🤣

Cheese and crackers, breadsticks, yoghurt, pancake, fruit slices

@Emma yes I gave him grated cheese yesterday and he loved it AND it kept him occupied for ages!

@CeeCee ohh I forgot about breadsticks now they’re a bit bigger.

@Emma perfect - I’ll try the muffin and fritter recipes thank you. Are the oat bars ones you make in the microwave? Think I tried something like that before and they were such a horrible texture I threw them in the bin! Might have a look and see if the wean in 15 recipe is a bit different.

@CeeCee what chesse and crackers you use for your lo? x

@Vanesa she likes the jacobs plain cream crackers, I only give her one or two due to sodium, and whatever cheese we have, usually cheddar or red leceister, babybels are handy as well

You do them in the oven - about 15 mins - I sometimes add some grated apple to mix it up a bit and I’ve just brought some mixed frozen berries so will try those too and see what she thinks x
