DD is doing well at self feeding - even seen some evidence in her dipe!
Today her teacher mentioned that she seemed to want more than just her bottle at lunch time and asked if I wanted to start bringing in additional food for her. I discussed Baby Led Weaning/solids with her and she was on board to feed her. Yeah!
Now - what on earth do I send for food? Since it will go into the refrigerator I am not sure what will be tasty for DD to eat beyond fruits. I think they will be okay with setting it out so it warms to room temp but won't veggies turn soggy?
Any ideas would be most helpful. Planning to get a copy of the menu to see if there are thing she might be able to eat for lunch from their kitchen.
ETA: Right now we are just doing single foods and not combining.
DD did great at her first day with bananas - ate them after lunch bottle. The director noted to me that she was fussy for more after her morning bottle and after being distracted by toy was okay. Her first bottle is about 2-3 hours after her morning nurse. It is a 3 oz bottle. She's a healthy 18lbs+ and gets 11oz at daycare for milk. I'm adding the lunch snack after bottle but could she already need a morning one too? Or could it be fussy b/c it is close to nap time as I normally nurse her to sleep. So hard to figure this stuff out!
