Take One Big Blue Bowl...

This big blue bowl has been the perfect container for loads of different messy and sensory play sessions. It kind of keeps the mess contained and baby B liked sitting in it from about 6 to 9 months and loves climbing out of it.

There are so many things in the kitchen that make brilliant exploratory play opportunities for babies and most of it is really cheap. The bowl was quite expensive but we use it as a paddling pool and ball pool too so is worth it. It's noce to add music and the buuble machine for even more sensory fun.

Adventures in Weaning: Recipe Ideas

Baby B is thoroughly enjoying his adventures in weaning and gobbles up everything we give him. He’ll happily be spoon fed but really enjoys getting his hands dirty and feeding himself. At the moment he’s experimenting with squeezing everything. Especially cherry tomatoes.

So the challenge for me is to keep finding, new , interesting and healthy things to give him. We tend to do a BLW lunch where B and I sit in the garden and eat the same, and dinner tends to be something mainly spoon fed from a stash of batch cooked meals in the freezer. Worried it was getting a bit samey, I asked around for recipe ideas and here is our collection.
