Baby's first meal: a major step

A Baby's first meal is one of the major milestones in their development, along with learning to use a spoon and introducing vegetables at lunch.

  • The first meal is above all a sensory adventure, as your baby is still being fed breast milk or infant formula.
  • Lunchtime is still the best time to introduce him to mashed carrots or green beans.
  • If some moms are still bottle-feeding, you can introduce your baby to spoon-feeding!
  • For this first meal, two to three spoonfuls are enough, and you can top it off with the usual amount of milk.
  • Plan to take a few pictures, because this is an important moment for the parents.

I've had gestational diabetes, so I have a lot of fantasies about this meal... I'm gonna start with a poke bowl, and ice cold sake, followed by a giant bowl of spaghetti bolognaise and a bottle of red wine. Then I'm gonna need a big slice of marionberry pie a la mode 👸

This is my first pregnancy and I’m struggling hard to figure out what I want to eat all the time, is this common? I feel like I’m starving every hour. What is your favorite meal right now???

Definitely normal. Everything sounds good until you think of the next option lol but i loooved pasta (spaghetti, pasta salad, tuna casserole) or sandwiches and it helped keep me full for longer. Also having some good snacks like veggies or granola bars are great to have on hand cause they’re quick and easy to hold you over till you can decide on a meal.

Everyone is sick so I’m fighting cranky children lol and I think she’s getting it cuz she’s been extra clingy. But I should get protein bars as for something better than what I’ve been grabbing lol

Hey , So this is my first child. And I want to get on a healthy eating diet . I’m cutting back on bread because I’ve ate it so much in my first trimester.. I’m also limiting my fast food intake. I just need help with meal plans and healthy snacks.
