Friday marks the last day of this allergen week, but I didn’t have anymore shellfish to introduce and so we skipped it.
Instead, I wanted to try out a recipe that some moms in my BLW group swear by.
The swearing is because babies need more iron in their diet after turning six months and most of us don’t want to deal with giving vitamins and rather fit the iron into babies diet.
So what do you eat with lots of iron? Meats and dark green vegetables!
And this recipe is a “hidden” vegetable one, using spinach.
So all you do is mix two eggs with one banana and add in about a quarter cup of frozen spinach.
Sorry, nothing is measured in BLW half the time and the other half it’s odd measurements when you’re not making in bulk.
I also decided to serve blackberry yogurt on the side of the pancakes.
With very few options, Malina went for the pancakes.
She seemed to like the pancakes well enough and I can attest that they were more banana flavored than anything. If not for the color I don’t think anyone would bat an eye at them.
After she tore into her first piece for a bit and ate a few bites I offered her a spoon and let her go at the yogurt.
She didn’t hate the yogurt but she preferred chewing on her spoon to eating further. I think she might be teething again but there is no sign of a third tooth on the way so who knows.
So remember, sometimes baby just wants to chew on the non edible things and that’s okay, you are doing great and you’ve got this!
