WHAT MY 6 MONTH OLD EATS IN A DAY | BF + Baby Led Weaning

Side-by-side we sway there and all the colors Well, you guys good morning, welcome back to our channel or welcome to our channel, this is your very first time here My name is Megan. I have a two and a half year old son named Rowan and miss Junie Mary who is just so happy right now is six months old and today I'm gonna be sharing what my six-month-old eats in a day with you guys We are doing baby led weaning with miss Juniper as same as we did with Rowan We're still in the stage of just single ingredient foods, but we have a few introduced now So I like to mix them up in different ways and I know you guys used to love these videos with Rowan So I thought I would take you along. She just had her first feeding of the morning We're still doing about six feeds a day give or take about every three hours I'm gonna wait about an hour for your tummy to settle and then we will be on to our salads breakfast He's so excited to show them what you eat today Yeah So it is 949 now and I'm making Juniper and I some breakfast I like to eat with her because eating for babies can be like a social thing and it helps with our eating skills and all That so I'm having some brownie baked oatmeal that I made a couple days ago And she is having some toast and bananas Like I mentioned we're still on the single ingredient foods portion of baby led weaning because we're just making sure that we're keeping an eye out every time we introduce a new food to look For an allergic reaction or anything like that. So these are two foods that I know are safe. There's a hack I wish I had known earlier. You don't actually have to cut your banana like into fourths You can just split it with your fingers down the middle and it will split into three pieces like this. I'll show you closer Who's that I Know this looks like a lot of banana to give her but I promise she'll only eat like a couple bites of it because she's Still working on like the whole grip thing. So most of it ends up on the floor, which is fine I'm also going to cut this toast up into strips If you don't have kitchen scissors and you're doing baby led weaning I would highly recommend getting some because I know one of the guidelines is To have your food be like the size and shape of your finger so that it's easy for them to grab and stuff and food Scissors are like so so great for that So I'll link the ones we have down below if you're wondering where I get a lot of my baby little weenie info It's from solid starts They have an awesome Instagram and also a really great website where you can put in like whatever food You're thinking about giving to your child and they'll tell you like what age they have to be to eat it and how to prep It safely and all of that. So we look at their stuff a lot I'm also gonna get her a little straw cup full of water and then it's time for you to eat Look at her, she's drooling All right. I actually decided to do an open cup. This is gonna be a massacre. It's good practice She's still in her jammies. So it's totally fine. I'll just change her after here's her little breakfast And here's our high chair setup. If anybody was curious, it's actually just the Ikea high chair, but like a little bit souped up I'll link all the stuff that we have for it below and then I have my gather mat Which is a lot of paint on it, but it's a very functional setup because everything is wipable. I I Absolutely love these little wipeable Kate bibs. They make cleaning up. So so easy with her I got them wholesale for my next what not live and I did want to mention real quickly that today's video is sponsored by Whatnot if you haven't heard of them They are an amazing live shopping platform So you can go onto their app and browse this amazing selection of like vintage Boutique and brand new with tags items ranging from baby clothes to home decor to women's clothes to collectibles I am seriously addicted. I spent way too much money on there because it's like thrifting but without leaving your house There's also a really cool community aspect in there So like I've made friends over on whatnot who like happen to live locally and now we like can meet up and go and get Coffee, which is so fun, but I've been doing a series of Q&A's with them all month long So the last one that I'm doing is tomorrow if you're watching this video the day that it goes live It's January 31st at 11 a.m. PST and it's gonna be all about baby lid weaning So I'm gonna be answering all of your questions about preparing foods and how we go about baby lid weaning and then also sharing some of my favorite products like those wipeable bibs and silicone dishware and Regular bibs and just like all that fun stuff if you sign up for what not using my code Which will be linked down in the description you actually get $15 to spend towards your first purchase So you can get one of those really cute bibs for free because I'm listing them for 15 bucks. Highly highly recommend I think it's my current favorite app on my phone Yeah, come join me ask any questions you have about baby lid weaning and baby feeding and breastfeeding and all that jazz looking forward to Hanging out. All right. Here is the aftermath a lot of it ended up in our bib and on the floor But that's okay as I predicted the open cup was a bit of a mess, but it's good practice I actually ended up ditching the plate because she was having an easier time just grabbing it off the placemat So, you know trial and error good to always be flexible. I think she enjoyed it Was that good? Yeah Cute little outfit of the day Yeah, one question that I get a lot on the baby lid weaning videos that I did for Rowan is like How do you get more comfortable with your kid doing baby lid weaning because they can gag and cough and it can be really scary And I have a two-part answer for that The first part is that you have to understand that gagging does not lead to choking and that gagging is actually a really good thing I'm gagging means that their body is learning how to Get the scary stuff out of the back of their throat so that they don't choke and it's a really good thing for them to Practice but also I know it can be so scary as a parent if your kiddo is gagging So the second part of the answer is that one thing that I did was that I took an infant CPR course before Rowan was Born and it has given me so much peace of mind Because I know that if God forbid something were to happen and he were to choke or she were to choke like I know What to do. I probably should take a refresher course for her now that we're starting But that has been so key in giving me confidence to do baby lid weaning with them If you want more info on the gagging choking thing again Solid starts is like the best resource for that in my opinion. I get so much information from them Yeah, you had a couple little little coffees, huh? Good. You're learning you're practicing. It's just after noon now PC may is nursing again I actually woke her up from her nap to nurse because I feel like I know they say never wake a sleeping, baby But if I get her to eat every three hours consistently, then she sleeps through the night So I let her sleep for an hour and a half maybe a little bit longer Then I gently woke her up Rowan's at the grandparents by the way, which is why you haven't seen him in this vlog they're coming home very shortly here, but Right now it's just us daddy's at work brothers at Nana's and I Love these Monday morning Mommy Juney moments All right. It's 143 now. I'm just getting around to making some lunch for myself, which is leftover spicy turkey sloppy Joe That I made last night, which obviously is not Appropriate for her to eat because it's spicy So normally at this time of day, she doesn't get like a full lunch We're still mostly sticking to like breakfast and dinner But what I'll often do just to keep her occupied while Rowan and I are eating is put something in this little Forage feeder teether. I'll link this or a similar one down below because these are really awesome Today it is a single strawberry that I'm going to cut up Put in here just so she can suck on it and get the flavor and stay occupied Not sure how you feel about it It's a teeny bit tart, huh? Mommy didn't know those when I was pregnant with you These faces that she's making are cracking me up. She must have a more tart strawberry than the last one she ate Go back for more But she's not quite sure Also, since she has a white collar on I did chip clip the back of this because sometimes the neck is a little bit big So hopefully it will save the collar So Junebug's about to go down for her nap and I'm feeding her again just because she was showing hunger cues It's only been about two hours since the last time she ate But obviously I'm going based on when she's hungry and not like such a strict schedule So having a little snack and then she's gonna go down for her nap So Matt is making us bang bang salmon bites for dinner tonight And we haven't introduced a new food with Juniper for a couple of days So I thought maybe I would try to do some salmon for her So I looked it up on solid starts and they said to do like two finger width portion Kind of just plain so I'm gonna cook that up and then we have some leftover Steamed broccoli that my in-laws sent home with us from a dinner that they cooked a couple nights ago when we were at their house That is the dinner plan for little miss and also for us Hey yummy dinner Yum yum yum All right, so it's about 715 now and I am feeding Juniper again before she goes to bed She is about to go down for the night and we'll do one more breastfeeding session around 1030 I do a dream feed so I go in and I feed her in the dark and She never even really wakes up for it and that will be it for everything that my six-month-old ate in a day So thank you guys so much for watching this video.
