Today Gremlin really, really enjoyed 70g worth (2 exchanges) of Hipp Organic Turkey, Vegetable and Cranberry Dinner. It was quite lumpy and bumpy and it was a joy of a lunch at Nana and Grandpa's house. She also really enjoyed the strawberries that had been set aside for her for pudding by Nana. I mentioned in passing last week that she could eat strawberries (protein free) and Nana remembered it. This was also fan-bloomin-tastic as she was part of the meal that everyone had. It was lovely.
Also, I want to explain a little about the fact that we are giving Gremlin jars/pouches with meat and fish content as 2 people have asked me about it this week. It is confusing as it goes against what she will eat as a growing child and adult and we were intially advised not to let her taste meat or fish in order that she doesn't develop a liking for it and miss it later. However, at the moment, it's all about volume. Her portion sizes are still relatively tiny. In order to get the desired amount of protein into her using vegetables or fruit only she would have to eat much more than she can manage. Hence, as advised by GOSH, we are going for things with high protein content, particularly beef and chicken. As the amount she eats increases the meat and fish will disappear from the menu.
