Does anyone else worry their baby is unhealthy? My boy has hardly eaten anything for weeks and when he does it's usually weetabix, toast or yoghurt.

What's the best way to give a 9mo a sandwich? I usually give her toast and she loves it, but when out and about it's easier to prepare a sandwich. Is it safe at this age or is the bread too soft? Also, what filling do you recommend? I'm thinking something simple like cream cheese?
